FIRE AT MANCHESTER OF
HORSES. -A destructive fire occurred at
Manchester, N. III. Monday evening,
destroying the dwelling house and stables
owened by D. NJ. Taggart. The loss on the
buildings was $4,000 and insured. Sew
enteen blooded horses were also burned,
among them Nei Hastings. an Abdallah
stallion, valued at $4,000. Taggart
had refused to sell either of his Abda.lah
stock at any price. The celebrated old
stallion Abdallah was the only horse
saved from the flames. No insurance on
the stock. The fire is supposed to be the
work Of an incendiary.

SAxToNs RIvER.-At the squirrel

of last week there were thirty-two men
on a side. The officers were as follows ::
President, John A. Farnsworh Judges,
John Baker, Arson Williams, Levi Will
der; Captains, H. G. johnson, G. L,
Hubbard. The first day it rained inces-
sanity, yet the fearless hunters were
nothing daunted, but like brave men
went forth to the hunt. AT night they
returned, bringing with them the laurels
they 50 Justly deserved.
On the following day the rain having
ceased during the night ; the clear sky
and bright sun not only invited the
hunters, but the hunted to come forth.
The parties met face 10 face by the road
side, the stone wall and in the shade of
the sylvan depths, one with murder in
their hearts, the other with innocence.
1t was fearful day for the beasts of
the field, and the fowls of the air.
At night they returned from their
hard fought battle fields, where leaden
storms had ragged and deeds of valor been
displayed, bringing with them the tro-
phies of war.
But the best part was yet to com e.
The party were unable to find accom-
modations at the hotel but through the
hospitality of Mr.. E. r. Osgood and

vided. The men elated by the victories
of the day now entered fearlessly upon a
conquest with oysters, turkeys, potatoes,
apple pies, chicken pies, mince pies
cakes, raisins, nuts, tarts, and their
allies, too numerous to mention.

last week Good cows sold at S3l, to
S34, and hay at 81. His farm sold at
500, and was bought by young man

Some little boys recently undertook
to build FIRE under the stairs leading
into the work shop of Parsons & Holton
of Jamaica, but were discovered by Mrs.
Dora Albee, living just opposite in sea-
son to prevent any damage. 1t is not
altogether pleasant to contemplate what
the result might be but for this timely
discovery.
The large reservoir being built by the
fire district, approaches completion.
Workmen have commenced laying the
cement. OF course the engineers are
blamed and found fault with by the usu-
al number, and every man has better
plan than any one else, but it is pr ssible
that the reservoirs may be a success af-

STATE Recommendations Dix sentso
the Senate his nominations for Captain of the
Port, Port wardens and Harbor Masters but
the Senate grumbled a little over them, and
adjourned without confirming them. New
York is well represented on the list though
few names from the country districts are
among the Governors select. Mr. Opdyke
introduced in the House the long -threatened
bill to sweep out of sight the present Board of
Police Justices, and to put in their places new
set of men, who are to be appointed by the
Mayor, with the advice of the Superior
Court A sturdy fight is expected over
this measure of reform, though the
effort to preserve the magisterial relic of
''old times is doomed to certain failure.

VOLUNTEERS. -The General in his military
capacity addressed note to the Supervisors
yesterday wherein he expressed belief that it
would be just as cheap for the county to own its
militia armories instead of renting them. Four
millions, the sum on which he computes we
pay interest in rents, would, he believes, cover
the cost of erecting suitable structures which,
he justly claims, the present rented drill
rooms are not. The idea looks plausible If
reform is whatit processes to be-. e., q cheap
way of doing desirable things.

UNITED SENATORS ELEcr-.ALL ABOARD -
That our country is getting along with railroad
speed, in one respect at least is easily demon
strated. We refer to the United States Sena-
tors elected this Winter to take their seats on
the 4th of March next Among them are
General Stephen W. Dorsey, native of YER
mont, but halls from Northwestern Ohio,
elected from Arkansas, President of the Arkan-
sas Central Railroad Company; Senator Jones,
from Nevada, thrifty railroad operator; Sen
ator Patterson, from South Carolina, a railroad
man in grain; Senator Mitchell, from Oregon,
railroad man per Sc; Senator Bogy, from
Missouri, if not precisely railroad man, he
pushes things onward on the railroad princi-
pie With this infusion Of the ego ahead v
element it will be no wonder if legislation
should commence in earnest with the Forty
third Congress But take care Don't let
the government locomotive get off the track,
nor the Congressional boiler burst. Every
new man should enter the next Congress with
patent Ames' shut-oa in his pocket.

MORE UNSAFE BUILDINGS. Each additional
report from the officers and agents assigned to
inspect buildings in the city furnishes fresh
proof of the terrible indifference to the ex-
posure Of human life to risk from buildings
improperly constructedand niggardly furnished
with means Of escape Scores of manufac-
tories in which large numbers of operatives
are employed are no less liable to sudden
outburst of fire and offer no better promise ola
way of safe escape than did that lettering shell
in Centre street, whose fall sacrificed seven
young lives on Christmas Eve. Hotels are not
lacking where, in case of fire, dozens Of
guests and servants might be sealed up to the
doom Of suffocation, as were the scrubbing
girls at the Fifth Avenue. Churches, schools
and places Of amusement have peculiar ele-
ments of danger, and some of them fail of the
fullest possible equipment to put out fire and
facilities for the prompt and safe egress fox
the crowds they contain. It is to be hoped
that these inspections will not be allowed To
flag while an unsafe house remains on the
island. No man has right to expose others
to unnecessary perils, and the severest penal
ties should be imposed upon those who neglect
to place the prescribed safeguards between the
public and threatened danger.

An English Opinion OF American OF
Rcials.

0clalS.
The London Telegraph in generous terms
compliments the patriotism and states
manship displayed in positions OF extreme
difficulty by our Ministers at the French and
British capitals Mr.. Washburne and Genera
Schenck. During the recent long and often
threatening negotiations between the two great
Angio-Saxon peoples our representative in
England is credited with working heartily and
with assiduity to heal differences and pro-
mote concord, plotting the Treaty of Wash
ington through rocks and shoals, when a less
'sagacious negotiator would have shipwrecked
it among angry recriminations about in
direct claims and the rights of neutrals. Mr.
Washburne is equally praised for his mastery
representation Of the Great Republic at Paris
during the two sieges, when the Star-Spangled
Banner marked the sanctuary of safety, re-
spected by mad mobs, which scarcely recog-
nized any other emblem of sanctity or priv
lege. While it is pleasant to Americans that
their representatives abroad should be SO law
ishly praised by prominent organ OF English
opinion, it is matter tor regret that the same
journal finds it impossible to approve the
policy Of our Secretary of the Treasury, though
it credits him with sincere belief in unsound
dogmas of political economy and pure ad-
ministration of the national finances. That a
coat or pair Of boots cost in New York thrice
their price in Montreal, and that we abstain
from buying and nationalizing cheap foreign
built vessels, while foreign fleets monopolize
our commerce and our merchant navy is
swept from every sea by the competition Of
free trade, are by this critic esteemed ample
proof that Mr.. Boutwell, has yet to study the
simplest elements of national prosperity. Un-
fortunately this opinion of the utter incapacity
Of the financial head of our government is fully
endorsed by many who view him at closer
range than his English critic.
