THE FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING. About u
o'clock yesterday morning the Fire Depart
mcnt were called out in response to an alarm
'rnm Box No. 70, situated ut Rockets. Fire
WGa discovered in the large moccupied
framed building owned 10y Mr.. Robert kcrsc,
ssnd situated at the corner Of Orleans street
Nnh U>hcrne'S avenue. The tircmen we're
snot slow in reaching the scene, but the
stencmcnt being Of wood, it was soon con-
ssIrned. and the grocery and dweIling.house
Got Michael Conway, next door, took fire also,
iand was burned. The goods and the iurni-
lure in this as well as the articles in Mr..
h"r-e's house were speedily removed, and
lut little loss was sustained in this direction.
The loss will probably be $4,000, which is
covered hy insurance.
Two OF the steamers saved the adjoining
property from destruction. getting the water
from brick-yard pond in the ncighborhood
II may also be remarked that the tire was
nearly II mile from the fire station and nearly

It was a case of homicide or suicide. a person
might have tied such string about his own
neck so as to cause death. There were no
evidences OF u struggle and no marks OF
violence upon her person. The bruises on
the face might have been the result OF either
strangulation or of post mortem changes.
The jury, after brief dellberation, returned
4 verdict that the deceased 'camc to her
death by strangulatian produced by string
tied about her neck by one Rose Warren, a
lunatic": and they further found sthat no
dereliction of duty il chargeable to the Off
GERS of the asylum"
On an incidental tour Of inspection our
reporter found the asylum In excellent con.
dlion. DR.. Conrad, DR.. Cabell, and their
assistants seem heartily interested in their
work. and the Improvements in. the institu-
ton show that their duties are efficiently,
intellIsently, and ze:llously discharged. The
great lack of the asylum is ROOM, and more
fatal accidents may not unreasonably be eX-
pected unless the accommodations Te en-
hrged.
1t is noteworthy fact that the inquest
above reported was the first holden i'll
this vicinity by colored magistrate, and
that four of the juryanen were intelligent
colorcd men. This seemed appropriate in
view Of all the circumstances of the case.

Ilz1Ls

After an interval Of eight centuries, England
is to lave new :: DoneBday Book Ihe Gov
ernment has just called upon the Local Govern
nlent Board to undertake the work, and clerks
arc busy in all parts Of tho Kingdom, gathering
up the old records and putting them into new
shape. 1t appears tlat tho 1andholders are the
objects Of the returns, and the Pail Mall G0zefR
says the questions to lie ultimately answered are
- Who and how many are the owners IN Eng
land and Wales that the $4,000 occupiers Of
land hold under :" Whist is the share Of each
individual and corporate body in the 2g, Gao .001
OF cultivated acres on this side Of the Tweed Z"
" What is cach ow1iers's portion Of the G45, Goo
600 there Or thcre.houte, the gross annual vaiuo
Of lands in England and Wales assessed under
Schedule A Of the property tax:" But from a
paper of instructions which accompanies the let
ter to tho clerks. somewhat wider scope ls
Indicated Land, whether s'bailt upon or not,
anu however limited in extend, is to be repre-
seuted by tho returns. OTnerg having one aero

less than ono acre are to form another. 1t is

will be found outside of tlis comprehensive

would apparently fall within it. Owners of

at last, dessert Of piping hot apple dunplinSs E

One old fellow, proprietor of store and owner
Of big saw-1nin, proposed to the young lady oa
tue spot but he wes quickly collared AMI led on
the grounds by two younger aspirants, who
made common cause against the aged smtor,
sa'E-mill and all. That young lady was the
centre OF attraction in her town after the cooking
feat. She received twenty-five offers ct mar
riage the first week, and her fame spread through
all the country round. An old bachelor fellow
down in Grundy County, with farm go big that
it takes him all day to ride around it, and cattlo
on hundred hills, heard Of her, and made pill
grimaGo all the way to that town to learn the
truth. He got tie girl, too, although some of
the young men Of the place sued out a writ Of
habeas corpus to prevent her being carried out
OF the county. They we're too late.
Ibis is, am aware, q rather sad ending for 60
good story, but devotion to the truth compels
mo to give nothing but the simple, unvarnished
reality.
She ought to ha7o married that fellow who set
up there in the crotch Of the tree long and at
such fearful discomfort. He wanted her, and he
was poor, bilious dyspeptic whom her splendid
cooking would have soon restored to usefulness
and society, but he WAS poor. All

THE LIQUOR Law.
Liquor Accounts Against q Bankrupt
Throyvn OurDecision Of Judge

Liquor Accounts Against q Bankrupt
Throxyn Ou~Decision Of Judge
Longyear.
From the Detroit {1Gich-) Posi-, Oct. %.
In the United States District Court, yesterday,
the case Of Richard s. Town l. Co., Of East SaGi-
nav, WAS passed upon by Judge LongJear. Tie
Towns are bank1upts, and their estate is in pro-
CESS of adjustment between creditors. George
". Torrey L. Co., of Boston, Mass, proved and
filed with the Register their account, claiming as
due to them from The estate Of said bankrup5s 8
balance Of about s449, portion Of which was
founded upon note for 5171- -62, and the balance
upon an open account, in part for Bpirituous
liquors. A note was given in settlement Of q
balance due upon q previous account for spirit
uous and Intoxicating liquors, q portion Of which
packages. But nothing was made to appear as
the manner and place Of sale Of the balance Of
the liquors for which the note was given.
Judge Longyear held that 80 far as the con-
of liquors in original packages, it Wig not in vio
lation OF the laws Of Michigan and was valid;
but as to the balance Of the consideration of the
note there was nothing to take it out Of the
statutes of Michigan prohibiting the sale OF spr-
ituous and Intoxicating liquors, and it was,
in Michigan, where the said statutes prevail,
and the consideration being in part in violation
thereof, the said note, according to the terms OF
tho said statute was void in toto.
As to the open account it appeared that, as tar
az it was based upon salo Of spirituous and In
toxicating liquors, the samo WAS sold at Boston,
Mass, upon the written note of tue bankrupts
duly stamped. The note Was made and 4 signed
in Michigan, and sent by mail to G. w. IoEroy d
Co, at Boston, their place Of business.
judge Longycar held further that because the
sale vas completed in Massachusetts it WAS e.
Massachusetts contract, and WIS not affected by
the Michigan statute, and that the sale being
valid in Massachusetts must be held to be valid
here. Il WAS consequently orderehthat so much
Of the claims of Torrey d. Co. as vas based on
