ANornER GREAT coNTLAGRATToN.

Scarcely has the great shudder
which convuIsed the heart of the
American people 1t the appalling
Chicago cont,agration passed away
when our ears are again saluted with
the fearful cry of fire." and this time
all eyes are turned in the direc-
tiou OF Boston, the Metropolis of Now
England, hundreds of whose buildings
but week ago sky-towering pal
aces aren now smouldering, smoking
ruins. The FIRE ragged from early on last
Saturday evening until Monday morn
ing-fully ,hirty-six hours-and was
confined to the very heart of the busi-
ness and commercial portion of the
city. Here whore her merchant
princes carried on their traffic in
stately palaces, and where the .opu-
lent manufacturers gave hire to thou,
sands of mechanics and artesans, the
fire ragged for nearly two days with a
fierceness and fury which defied all
efforts 10 check il, and not until the
loss of property had reached hundreds
OF millions was it's terrible appetite
for destruction satiated.
The telegraphic accounts of the fire
are too lengthy for our limited space,
hence we are only able to give an epit-
ONE of them in another column
The fire is second only to Chicago,
of any on our continent, in destruct-
iveness; and as the average Yankee
never lets anybody excel hun in any
thing, we may expect Boston to re-
cuperate from her great disaster with
fully the speed and energy of Chica
go. Already we see it telegraphed to
the world that Boston's Phenixing"
is commenced and that many of her
mercantile firms, whose property was
last Sabbath laid in ashes, are taking
steps to resume business in temporary
structures on the great Boston Com,
mon.
Of course this disaster will be fol-
owed by great des,itution and suffer
ing in many cases, and the great heart
of the nation should beat with COM
passion fer the suffering victims aud
respond with that charitable lnunifi-
cence which has ever characterized
our People We should not forget
that our fair and apparently well
guarded towns are alike subject to
the devastation and destruction which
have visited the Pride of New Eng
land" and that we would fully ex-
pect the warmest outpouring of sym
pathy and aid il the hour of our ad-
versity. Whatsoever We would that
men should do unto you, do. We even
SO unto them,'' is Godgiven ii.junc-
ton, and is virtue which sho,ald find
the fullest exercise in this hour OF
Boston's great disaster.

New YonK, Nov. 12.-The destruc-
ton of eleven million pounds of wool,
stock of FIVE million suits of cloth
ing. and almost the entire supply of
clothing for Eastern Canda and the
Northwest has caused an advance of
seven cents per pound in the price
of wool, while heavy domestic wool
ems advanced over thirty cents per
yard; blankets, hannels and shawls
advanced ten per cent; coffees rath-

Seven National Banks were burnt

Chicago gives quarter Of q mil

CurcaGo, Nov. 13.-Tbere is no
wpnt in the city to speak of. 1t
seems probable that the great reserve
capital of the city and the thrift and
foresight Of its people, besides the
comprehensiveness of regular chari-
ties. will meet all demands.
General Sbalef, of the Now York
Fire Department, concludes, from
an inspection of the burnt district,
that the fire was in consequence OF
the delay of the fireman in reaching
the scene. The narrowness of the
streets, which made it impossible to
enter, and the great heat which in an
open space prevented fremen from
approaching the burning buildings.
Chief Engineer Dedell, of the Bos-
ton Fire Department, says the de-
struction Of buildings by gun-powder
tends rather to spread fire than
| otherwise.

Thus it will be observed that the
Democratic vote of last June tails off
5lS in November, while the Republi-
can vote increases only Is. This fully
demonstrates the fact that if the full
strength OF our party had been polled
we would have carried the county for

We have received Woodruff &
Claffin's Weekly, of date Nov 2,
which contains detailed narration Of
one of the most remarkable scandals
on record. The narrative is written
by tho notorious Woodruff herself,
and relates TO criminal intercourse,
which is said to have existed for the
past ten years, between the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher and the wife of
Hon. Theodore Titon, who is shin.
ing member of Beechers eminently
high-toned church in Brooklyn. Mrs.
Woodruff states that when Tilton
first discovered the existence of his
wife's and his pastors illicit inter.
course he came 10 her in n state OF
mind bordering on distraction and re.
lated the whole matter and sought her
advice in the premises. II seems that
this syren then went to work and
converted Tilton to her free love doc
trines and convinced him that his wife
and her Reyerend seducer were guilty
otno wrong in thtir conduct-that they
were simply carrying out the higher
law of sexual affinity She poured
quantities of healing oil Of comfort
upon the bleeding hear, of the Hon
orable Theodore, aud he returned TO
his wife aud pastor with tho olive
branch of peace, instead of the sword
of destruction in his hand. Hc told
them, however, that for tho sake OF
the good name of his children and in
obedience TO that tyrant, Public Opin-
ion-which had not yet been elevated
to the exalted standard OF the Free
Love affinitics-their somewhat tamil.
lar relations had better come to n ter
mination. Thus those 1.-TWO souls
with but a single thought" were
severed by the cruel fiat of public
opinion, backed up by an sensi-
tive husband; and the kind pastor and
loving shepherd went back TO his own
household, and his affinity" remained
pensively and obcdicntly at hers.
Mrs. Woodruff asserts that Mrs.
Isabella Beecher Hooker (Rcv. ii.
VS. sister, Mrs. ] aulina Wright
Davis, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Mr.. Frank Moulton. and other well
known Eastern celebrities, have for
some time had full knowledge of this
disgraccful affair, aud that she has
from time to time conversed fully and
freely with all OF them about the mat.
ter. She claims US reason for now
veniilating the scandal that she has
been ANONYMOUSLY deserted by Til.
ton and rnaiigned and iraduced by
Bccchcr ant! members Of his congre.
CATION. Whether her desire for re-
yengc has induced her To manuiac
,ure this most stnpendous scandal
from her fertile and unscrupnlous re
sources, or whether the statcmed,s
made are dcp.oable facts. future
events will develop. We simply Civ.
an cpitomc OF her recital. without
offering IN opinion as 10 its veracity
the publication of this narrative
aud kindred matter is the cause of hel
present confinement in Z New York
City prison.
