morning. says the Grass Valley Union
Of July 3lst, Stephen Collins Of Rough
and Ready, was engaged In the work
Of blasting boulders. The boulders

tered with the cultivation OF the soil It
was desirable to have them removed.

powder for the purpose Of breaking
the boulden. At tho hour named he
put Off a heavy blast, and 40 the fuse
which he used was defective the ex-
plosion Of the blast took place almost
the instant that fire was applied to the
end Of the fuse. The result WAS that

Mayor Castor, of Boston, having replied TO
Governor Cookies offer Of aid for the sufferers
by the fire noticed in yesterdays STAR, that
''the citizens relief committee will accept any
IecuniaTy aid offered, with hearty thanks" the
Governor has issued call for a meeting of the
citizens OF Washington, at the hall of the House
OF Delegates, MetzerOtt building, at o'clock
this evening, 'for the purpose of providing aid
and substantial sympathy for the suffering
POOR Of the afflicted city. We hope, with the
Governor, that there will be a full attendance
and liberal response &c this call" Boston has
ever been foremost in coming TO the relief of
ether suffering communities, aud now that her
Cwn citizens are stricken, there should be a
prompt response from every quarter TO appeals
Ter assistance for them. None of Us can tell
how sOcn we, too, may be in want of "substan-
tial sympathy" for food, fire, and famine paw

The prompt response which followed the app al
TO our citizens Tor relief for the Chicago safer
eTs leads rs TO believe that they will not be

The Trial OF young Fewell, which has been in
progress Tor over a week at Brentsyille, Vlr-
ginia, for the murder OF James f. Clark, oh srgel
with abducting and running his sister, and whom
he shot dead while helpless and defenselcss
within the bars of prison, resulted last evening
IN the rendition OF verdict of not guilty, the
jury being out only a short while. Their retire
ment for elaboration thus appears only to have
been a matter OF form.
The Baltimore Sun, commenting on this YER
dict, says, justly, that though no one can deny
that there is need of adequate provisions by law
for the cOndign punishment OF seduction, yet,
while a community looks only to the mode of
dealing with such Otfenses as was resorted to in
this case, no such statute and lawful punishment
a. should be provided can possibly be secured.
If that force of public opinion which Is now
spent 80 questionsbly would turn itself to the
good purpose of demanding and securing eff
Gent legislation for the punishment OF the
seducer, or the melting out OF justice according
TO the guilt OF parties in such cases, ii would be
far better tor the community in the end. IL
death Is 10 be the penalty of seduction, let 1t be
made 20 10y law, and the punishment admins
tered with the dignity OF law.

The new phase in the horse disease in New
York and Baltimore, mentioned in our te!e-
graphic columns yesterday, was developed in
the former city in the railroad stables and
among those horses which had the least DIS
charge from the nOstriIs. The general SUPPOSE
ton is that the matter, instead OF being dis
Charged, passed into the system, and pro-
duc6d a species OF droPsy, the animals legs and
bodies swelling TO an enormous size. The affected
animals die in great pain. Ii is the tendency of
Epidemic disorders to run into chronic forms OF
disease, and the warning should be headed by
tie owners of sick horses here and elsewhere

AND COMMERCIAL

The feeling in the New York money market
yesterday was about the same as on the preyiou 8
day. Since the Boston fire the markets have
been buoyed up by the assurance that the strong
arm OF the Treasury would be extended to pre-
vent anything like a panic. 1t remains 10 be
seen whether the moral effect of these assur-
ances will be sufficient without any positive
action on the part of the Treasury borrowers

Dor DIS were firm. The stock market opened
strong, but became heavy after the first board.
