We have paper full of horrors this
week. There is a two column account of
the shocking murder OF the young girl at
Northwood, New Hampshire then the
awful and mysterious murder of Il real es-
tate broker in Boston, and his mangled re-
mains packed in two barrels and set atloat
on the river; and lastly the terrible ca
lamity of the great fire in Boston, by
which so many merchant princes were
rendered beggars, and hundreds of fami-
lies turned from their homes upon the
charity of the world. Such an accumula
ton of startling news is not often seen in
one week

kennebec papers are recording the
mean men. The Gardiner Reporter says
there is a man in that city who pays taxes
on $500 and steals the reading of that
paper every week. The Fairfield Chroni-
cal thinks it impndent for "a wealthy
townsman to solicit puff for his tavorite
horse who cannot afford copy of the
paper" These men serve a useful purpose
in furnishing subjects for paragraphs, and
examples to be stunned by the rising gen

Fortunately this heavy blow has not caused
so large an amount of personal suffering as the
great fire at Chicago, as there were but cOmpar-
atively few habtations destroyed in Boston. In
the vicinity of Fort Hill and to the south there
were some tenements, and many families were
driven out to find such shelter as they could

goods, furnishing goods, &c. Notwithstanding
this great building Was in an almost incredible
short space of time completely Ievelled to the
ground, its destruction had not progressed far
before the flames and sparks which arose from
it had lodged upon all the buildings roundabout.
Thus the fire spread almost instantly in three
directions; first to the adjoining block on Sum-
mer street, then across Summer street to the
opposite block and then across Kingston street
On the corner of Otis and Summer streets stood
the Everett block, an imposing granite struc-
ture, owned by the Everett estate. 1t was about
9 O'Clock when the flames caught on the top
of this building and upon it the efforts of
the engines located in that vicinity were bent,
The efforts were unavailing, however, as hard
ly drop OF water could be got to the top of the
building. A line of hose was soon run up on
the inside and the hOsemen remained rs long as
they possibly could, striving to check the flames
One firemen was seen clnging on to IL coving at
the very top OF the building directing a stream
on the fire which was above him and on one
side flashing almost in his face. His perilous
position excited some alarm, but he stuck till
the last chance and then retired in safety. Now
The hre began to creep steadily up both sides of
Summer street. crawling along from roof to
roof as though there was rivalry between the
two sides AS to which should outstrip tile other
in speed. While the fire on the northerly side
of Summer street was marching along on the
roof OF the Everett block, which had not at
this time become largely covered, the tiend sud-
denly burst out in a new and unexpected
quarter, leaping across and lighting down on
the top of building on Arch street, ii dozen
doors removed from Summer street. Almost
before the existence Of the flames in this quarter
was known they had spread down through the
building and were bursting in Il perfect torrent
from all the windows in the front of the fancy
goods store of Hawey, Folsom Il Martin.
Several steamers were quickly sent thlther, but
with no more effect than a single bucket-full of
water would have produced. The fire spread
to each side, enveloping the stores Of Thomas
Kelley & Co.; d. M. HOdgdOn, clothing; March
Bros; Pierce Il Co.; Miner, Beal & Hackett-
all Of which were quickly blazing. At 10 O'Clock
the whole roof of the Everett block was sheet
of fame, sending high into the air column of
fire, smoke and lurid sparks. Having thus gain
ed perfect control of the Everett block the fire
stretched its Unsuitable arms across the narrow
Arch street and moved rapidly up towards
Washington street.
Winthrop square, the very centre of the
great wholesale trade OF the city, embracing
some of the most costly mercantile buildings

The Ring Advertising.

A New York special to the St. Louis
Democrat says:
New YORK, February 2O.-The Tribune
publishes the figures Of the amounts paid
for city and county advertising from Janu-
airy l, 1870, to September 10, 1871, during
the administration of the ring thieves. The
whole amount is sl,97s,OOo, of which 1881, !,
900 were paid to the Transcript, small
paper owned by the New York Printing
Company; $4,000 to the Star, which is the
Tammany organ. edited by the notorious
forger Howard; $3.50 went to the Daily
Meas; sl47 900 to the Democrat; $lo5, 200 to
the Sunday Mercury, and $4,000 to the
World Several obscure weeklies received
from $4,000 to $1,000 each: The Times re-
celved $1,000, the Tribune $ll 900 and tho
Herald $4,000. At least three-fourths Of
the whole sum paid for advertising, say
81, 500, 900, were absolutely squandered, the
periodicals employed having no such char
acter or circulation as would render them
desirable media for city work.

A New York special of the twentieth
49, G. To,;, D,,,,II;,n.,

A New York special of the twentieth to
the ST. Louis Republican says:
The Academy was jammed tonight, and
for a time Satan seemed to have broken
loose. Victoria C. Woodruff had been an
nounced, and the boys were ready for fun.
Women's bonnets were torn Oft, and old
mems corns were squeezed in the jam, and
the screams from the pit, added to the cat
calls from the galleries, made it pande-
monium until long after the rising of the
curtain. Stephen Pearl Andrews and
Colonel Blood, if in the house, were pru-
IDENTIFY kept in the background. and only a
part Of Tennie C. Clafin's profile was visi-
Bile IN private box. Mrs. Woodruff, I'M
accompanied and without introduction,
stepped to the footlights, and opened a
pamphlet entitled The Impending Revolu-
tion," began reading, and, without needing
the many interruptions, continued in a
dreary monotone until she had read thirty
nine large l2mo. pages of small plea. Her
audience was uproarious but good -humored,
and $1,000 was added to her treasury.

Corruption in New Orleans.
From the Chicago Tribune.I

WASHINGTON, February l9.-According
to members of the New Orleans investi-
eating committee, upon the formal state
ment submitted to them by Governor War
lector Casey and others, they took evidence
to test Warmoth's statement, the result of
which tended to show that $50, 200 had been
placed in the hands Of Casey by the Levee
Market Company to secure the passage of a
bill for that company through the Legisla-
ture. The bill was passed, but the Gov
ernor vetoed it. Those who had furnished
the money to Casey thereupon demanded
its return and the demand was complied
with According to the evidence both Casey
and Deputy Collector Herwig were inter
ested in the scheme.
