A somewhat amusing scene is to come

in accordance with pledge entered into
between Henry Krause and A. Leslie.
Mr.. &. is at that time to W ieel Leslie in a

Of the weather, the pledge is to be faith

the only hindrance.

in Kansas. He was one of the untortun-
ates in the r. II. disaster some two weeks
stree on the Great Western, near Niagara
Falls. Mr.. S. seems to have been pecu-
liarly unfortunate. During the late re-
bellion, every tie of blood, as wei as all
his property, was swept away by The raw

was seriously injured in R. R. disaster.
Notwithstanding these repeated losses

he deserves, will be amply able to sup

From the pleasant countenances of our
Democratic friends since the election, we
are led to believe that they are better
pleased over their defeat than they would
have been over the election of Horace
Greeley. Sensible Democrats they.

The Great Fire in Boston.


Last Sunday night Boston was visited
by a great fire, similar in Its results to
the terrible fire in Chicago, just one year
and one month previous. 1t occurred in
the heart of the business part of the CITY,
and destroyed an immense number of
wholesale houses, large manufacturing es-
adjustments, banks, printing offices,
churches and dwelling houses. The area
burned over is estimated at 10 acres.
The number of firms and business
houses burned out, is nine hundred and
thirty, and the number of dwellings and
lodging houses is sixty four.
The total loss was estimated by the
Boston Post of Monday, at 100000, 900.
The Journal places it higher Nearly, if
not quite half that amount is covered by
insurance, the greater portion of which
will be paid.
Many of the Boston Insurance Compa-
MES will be Obliged to suspend, although.
most Of them will ultimately pay.
1t is stated that the only Insurance
Companies in New York, which have
suspended are the National, Relief, Com
Exchange and humboldt
Relief has been profered from all the
principal towns and cities in the United
States. Chicago proposes to give $780,
900 ofthe Worlds Relief Fund. Cincin-
natl will send Agents to Boston to see
what is needed and afford relief, as she
did when Chicago was in her extremity.

THE EPEooTio-Ver few horses were
to be seen on our streets Monday, not be-
cause the horses were all sick, but manly
for the reason that owners of horses in
the country were afraid to drive them &c
town. We heard one man say on Mon
day he left his horses at home and walked
eight miles to town. He had heare ter
rible stories of the existence of the horse
epidemic in Plymouth. There have beer
several csses of the disease in town, but
none of them fatal nor dangerous.
All the livery stables in I.aporte
were closed last week all the horses be
ing affected by the disease; but not severe
ly.
South Bend is also turned into hospit
al. The isease having reached that usu
ally favored place.

The supporters OF Mr.. Greeley cannot
consistently charge the Republicans with
buying Democratic votes, nor Democrats
with selling their votes to Grant. because
they said that the Republicans had spent
all their money buying Democrats at the
October election. The result must be ac-
counted for in some other way, or remain
mystery.
In Marshall County it is pretty generlly
Admitted that prominent Democrats
were not partial to Greeley.

The late election for President revealed
the fact that the split in the Democratic
party was greater and more damaging to
that party than the sloughing off of the
Republican party was to it. The Repub-
iican party is not made up of such weak
material that the dissatisfaction, or disap-
pointment of few men, however high
their position, can rend 1t asunder at will.

1t is not charged against the the Re
publicans OF this state that they imported
men from other states to vote illgally at
the Presidential election. Other causes
are supposed TO have defeated Mr.. Gree
ley. Some think that the Democrats
failed to comply with the agreement with
the Liberals. After succeeding in elect
ing Hendricks Governor, they took no
farther intrest in the.election, and let Grant
have it. The Democrats who did not
vote for Greeley contend that they were
not bound by the transfer arrangement.

For the last six weeks our paper has
been so filed up with advertisements
that we should not blame our subscribers
if they grumbled little. This week
we take out about five columns and give
reading matter in its place. 1t was our
intention to issue an occasional supple
ment, but fortune has smiled on us with
such run of job printing that we have
not been able to do so. AS we have
heard no murmur, we conclude that our
friends have good supply of patience,
for which we are truly thankful. Next
week we shall commence the publication
of series of interesting articles, which
will last four or five weeks, entitled the
claws of Vermont" which should be
read by every one.

Horace Greeley's will is in the hands
of Judge Hart. who was near neighbor
of the deceased. The property of de-
ceased, including Tribune stock, real
estate and personal property, is bequeath-
ed to his two daughters, Ida and Gabri-
ellie. The amount of Mr.. Greeley's prop
erty has not yet been made public, but
it is stated that it is larger than is gen.
orally supposed. The will was made in
November, and was written by Mr.. Gree
ley. He had made two previous wills,
which were kept with the understanding
that the seals were not to be broken
without instructions from members of
his family
Mr.. Greeley's wife, who owned the
Chappaqua farm and some other proper
ty in her own name and right, made a
will five years ago, bequeathing her prop.
erty to her daughters.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN SAN FRANCIS

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN SAN FRANCIS
CO-PHOSPHORUS AS A PLAYTHING.
At an early hour yesterday morning
three little boys, sons of Abraham Stras-
ser, poultry dealer, named Emanuel,
Leopold, and Andiel, and aged from sew
en- to eleven years, were playing in an
alley in the Chinese quarter; and while
there they discovered a curious wax-like
substance lying on the ground, and in
their curiosity, picked some of it up and
filed their trousers pockets with it.
The boys then came down to their ia
theirs stall and began playing about in
apparent forgetfulness of their prize.
All at once terrific shrek from one of
them startled every one in the market.
The poor little fellow was seen dancing
about in agony, and a thin blue sulphor-
ic smoke issued from his clothing and
enveloped him in cloud. The men in
the market rushed to his assistance
and threw water all over him, and COW
cred him with blankets but nothing
seemed to do him any good.
One man, Charles Kaufman, in his
efforts to tear off the boys clothing, had
his hand badly burned, and it is proba-
BILE that it will have to be amputated.
Finally the men succeeded in tearing of
his clothing, and he was taken into
Richards drug store, where everything
was done to relieve his sufferings.
The boy was terribly burned about
his stomach and thighs. and it is very
doubtful if he can recover. While the
druggist was dressing the lads burns
the other two boys were standing in the
doorway, looking on stupefed with as
constituent. All at once one of them

and began tearing away at his clothes
The phosphorus in his pockets had ig

assistance and rushed to tear off tn
boys clothing, but before it could b
done the little fellow was severely burn
ed in the same manner as his brother
His wounds were not quite as severe
but sufficiently SO to make his recover
exceedingly doubtful. But the terribl
agent had not done yet. The other lit

all this was going on, but nobody though
to inquire if he had anything in hi
