SINGULAR CAUSE OF FIRR.-A slight fire oc-
CURED in q building in Montreal ON Wednesday
last, which 10 attributed to spontaneous CON-
bustion. 1t appears some 100 sheets OF iron for
roofing purposes had been painted, and for some
days left in an upper story; and when supposed
to be dry, had been hurriedly thrown together.
The result was that they became heated, and
finally set the place on fire, the three-Inch
plank and beam having been entirely burned
away beneath, allowing the whole to drop into
the lower story.

The Night Soil Question.

KING GEORGE Co., VA, Sept. 20, 1873
Edator Stdr.-l see by your last Weekly that
Health over the night soil question has at last
Deen decided, and that now something is to be
done to abate one of the greatest remaining
nuisances of your city. In the spring preceding
.ne hrst election OF Mayor Bowen, parties who
had been experimenting in fertilizers, and had
become convinced that no fertilizer from night
SOIL could be made to pay, had in the meantime
become fully acquainted with the details of the
scayenger business, and, satisfied that if it
could be changed into a daylight business a
great profit could be realized on one third the
scayengers prices, experiments were tried both
with boxes and tubs, Theoretically" sealed bv
running two strands of spun yarn around on the
top edge and screwing the lid down firmly with
common square-hea wood screws These
were driven about the city, in the crowded mar
ket, and 10 the bazaar in front of the central
guard house, and up and down the avenue and
no one ever the wiser or in the least conscious of
the presence of huge stink. These experiments
were not maze under the banner of the Cereal
National Night Soil Transportation Company"
but OF course very quietly and still with thor
oughness to test to their own satisfaction n the
night soil of the city could be carried by day-
light through the streets without giving any
just ground of offense. They were Convinced il
could, and devised plans for tubs and covers
and fastenings, &c. ascertained prlses and the
probable cost of preparation, but the election
opened their eyes TO a new obstacle and an in
surmountable one. As developed on the island,
political lever, moving the whole city. The
people talked of the ballot box, but the real
power lay in the privy box. 1t was seen TO be a
great nuisance, not tolerated only, but well for
uned ana defiant and necessity in the political
warfare. OF course tubs and boxes were laid
ASIDE, but the parties were convinced that the
transportation BY daylight was both cheap and
saie and that the people of Washington in en-
during the great nuisance of its night manipu-
alton, showed too great a spirit of submIssios "a

SPIRITS IN ALBANY JAIL.-Joseph walz,
who is now confined in the jail at Albany for
the alleged murder last spring of Hulcher, the
scissors grinder, of that city, has been at yari-
Gus times under the influence Of s.spelIs,u
during which the spirits control his actions. A
few nights ago he caused great confusion in the
jail by setting fire to straw, paper, &C.. in his
cell, and at the same time making fearful
noises, calculating "Murder!" and other soul
narrowing utterances. The fire was extin-
guisbed and Walz was bandcuffed; but being
left alone he was enabled (probably by the aid
of the spirits) to break his handouts ShackIes
we're then put on his feet, and he was chained
to the floor. He had again nearly succeeded in
releasing him from these impediments and the
keeper was compelled to "buck' him. which
operation reduced him to submission. He was
very penitent when he recovered from the
"spell" that bound him.--N. Y. World

BURIAL OF THE MoDoOs-The Erecutioners'
PerquiSites.-A correspondent of the San Frau
cisco Bulletin says Of the late Modoc execution:
In exactly half an hour from the falling OF the
drop, the bodies of the hanged were cut down
and placed in their collins, which were then re-
moved to the blacksmith's tent, where the
shackies, which had partly been disengaged
were entirely removed, and the remains put in
decent order for burial. Only the necks of
Captain Jack and Black Jim were found to be
broken. l saw strands Of the rope with which
Jack was hanged, and the locks OF his hair
ehorn of as perquisites by the executioners,
sold as high as q We dollars apiece. Some prob
ably relatives of the victims, appeared stricken
with grief, and filed the air with their mourn
full wailing. The majority manifested indiffer-
ence. L have just been Informed by General
Wheaton that John Schonchin has made an ear
nest and pathetic appeal to him for the custody
of the children of Schonchin, his brother who
was executed this morning, whom he desires to
educate In love and respect for the whites. The
general informed him that, owing to his LOYALTY
to the whites and his fidelity to treaty stipula
tons, he would use his strongest efforts to get
the request granted by the President.

Mrs Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Lucy Stone Black

ing the meeting, said that having listened to
the proceedings of the Evangelical Alliance he
was reminded of the saying about meetings in
which women took part, that "there were five
basketsful of talk and the women had four OF
them" He thought that the men had had even
more than this. Speeches were also made by
Miss Eastman, Mrs. Blackwell, Mr.. Blackwell
and Mrs. Tracy Cutler. At the beginning OF
her speech Mrs. Blackwell was interrupted by
the entrance of a number of women parasol
makers thrown out OF work by their employers
who having met to form plans for their protec-

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE IN PARIs-The
restaurant Brebant on the Boulevard, says Ga
Ignani of Sept. 49, has just been the scene of a
tragic event. Six young men and three Young
women arrived there on Friday evening and or
dered dinner. The entertainer was d. Charles
Missotin, twenty years of age, employed in the
Banque Generate, Rue de Grammont, who was
to leave Paris the next day for tour in Italy.
Toward the end of the repast, which was ex-
tremely gay, the host leftthe room, and as he
continued absent for some time, one of the
guests went to seek him. Having inquired
from waiter as to his whereabouts, the man
pointed to an adjoining room, and SAID: "He is
in there, and l think he must be playing YOU
some trick" The friend Immediately advanced
to the door, but had scarcely placed his hand on
the handle of the lock when two detonations
were heard. When an entrance was effected,
Missotin was found stretched on the sofa,
while on the table by his side lay ii barreled
revolver, three barrels of which were loaded.
He was still alive, and medical man having
been Sc Mt for, dressed the wounds and ordered
his removal TO hospital He was placed in
carriage and conveyed to the Lariboisere, but
died shortly after his arrival. No reason is as
signed for this strange act of self-destr uction,
the deceased being of an excellent family and
well-off in the world.
