Liberty Hail." about six miles from
Falmouth, in Stafford county, the property
of Samuel Wallace, Esq, says the Frede-
ricksburg Ledger, was entirely destroyed by
fire on Thursday night. The family was
awakened by the flames in the middle of
the night, and so rapid was the combustion
that all the family clothing was lost, and
only a small portion of bedding and furni-
ture saved. 1t is supposed that the fire
originated from the kitchen. When the
family was walked up, the kitchen and
meat-house were burned to the ground.
The latter contained the years supply of
bacon and lard, the whole of which was
lost. Loss 81 200, insurance 81 900, in the

Reception of Foreign Bands-Immense
Throngs from Eyerywhere-The First Choral
Rehearsal.
Boston, June 1.-THE first day of the
International Peace Jubilee opened with
delightful weather and brilliant prospects of
success. The special feature in the morn
ing was the arrival of the British band, at
about sunrise, while cannon were firing and
bells ringing in celebration of the battle of
Bunker Hill. The band was received at
the depot by the jubilee executive COM
mittee and breaklasted at their quarters.
The reception procession for all visiting
bands, except the French, which had its re-
ception last week, formed at o'clock, and
embraced delegations of all British, Scotch
and German societies of Boston and vicinity,
and citizens generally. The first regiment
acted as escort, with cavalry battalion and
the Boston Fusileers. Dense crowds

A Feud, a Fight, and a Murder.

Memphis, June II. = At Brownsville,
Tenn, John Higgins and Joseph Smell,
both colored men, had desperate fight,
growing out of an old leud. They were
arrested by the Marshall and carried off.
Soon after Snell's wife entered Higgins S
house, armed with an iron poker, and beat
Higgins wife to death, literally mashing her
skull like an egg shell. Higgins and Smell
being soon released reasmed the fight, and
but for the interference of the citizens fatal
results would have ensued. Smell and his
wife were arrested and lodged in Jail.

The WHIPPING POsT.-The Richmond
correspondent OF the New York Herald
who was a witness of the brutal proceeding
atthe county courthouse on Saturday last,
wrote as follows:
''This is the first Tease of the kind in
Richmond since the revival of the whipping
post. Judge Minor thinks it humane
way to deal with small offenders, but
others say it is not only cruel and bar
barous, but disgusting, if not ridiculous.
There is something solemn and impressive
about an execution either by hanging or
shooting, but the whipping post has not
one redeeming quality. The judge said 1t
was harvest time, and to send them to jail
would be to deprive the farmers of their
assistance in the field. 1t may become
common here, but it cannot fail to have a
brutalizing effect upon those who witness it
or those who intlict the degrading punish
ment.
SIT is surprising that Virginia, which boasts
the oldest and best civilization in the
United States, should cling to this barbar-
Gus custom of the days Of slavery. She
seems to be fond of her relics, no matter
how repugnant they may be to Christianity
and civilization"

hauling her out of the water before any
