E1k4 IN THE NEW OnoAs0A
Marrow ESCAPE. - Our people were
startled yesterday about $50 o'clock IN
the afternoon by the sound of fire, and
horified to learn that the Ormsby House
was burning. A rush was made to the
scene Of the alarm, and in a few minutes
the premises were surrounded Dy an
eager crowd, the larger portion OF them
without presence Of mind and not
Knowing what to do or say, the fircmtn
flew to their engine houses, while Il lew,
from curiosity or Il desire to be on the
spt,t and lend material aid, made thalf

day before yesterday morning, young
Greealaw who had just come INTO tn
nostoffice and was arranging the mai! h
fhe LIGHT of a candle, was scared OF OF
his wits by hearing g crash above Li5
headEhe thought the house WAS tulnb-
ling about his ears-,nd hew into tn
stree: with the rapidity of a Sreyhoun"
with fire-crackers at his tai. When h.
had mustered up his spirits and had
cautiously put his head through the
postoffice door, he saw foot and part
Of a leg gradually working their way NJ
back through the ceiling. Some iellow
had been fooling around above an the
Or,nsby House, and missing his desti-
nation. had walked Cpon q place where
the stair case used. to be, and wen.
through with the crash that so scared
the. youthful progeny OF our worthy 81
pe,iitendent Of Public Instruction. We
have not been able to learn the name o.
the ni;l;.-niay be woman, for the Do.
was too badly frightened to tell which
FROM 'tother-to whom the leg belongs.
A HANDSOME and stately young gentle
m;..>, who was never cauJlt in anything
so shabby before. was discovered on his
return FROM little social gathering at
the home Of a beautiful young lady In
Carson. night before last, to haze come
avav With pockets loaded with ewer.s-
thing that, was kindly offered him II
Abundance at the ho,tse. When he was
caught and cornered and found that 1t
was Of no avail to rrevaricate, he came
out Like ar man, coafesslug his sin and
beconliiic remorsc, AMI owned up to the
fact thht he was ashamed to eat all he
craved when. so sweetly waited upon,
and hs1 stolen every pocket full Of fruits
and candies at odd moments when the
ewes 81 the company being turned away,
he could grab and hide away his plumber
without being seen. It is wonder to
his friends, that he did not put some
rocks in his pockets too.
SrARR1NG.-As will be seen by refer
ence to our Assembly report had
I'd, be curtaaedH the gen
tlemen of that body resolved them
selves Into debating society yesterday.
Heretofore there has been a lack OF Par
Iiamentarians' among the Legislators,
but reaction is now setting in. The
cause Of so, much oratorical and logical
display above referred to, is a resolution
to rescind the fourteen cierkships made
during this sessioES the resolution pass
ed and now the Question is for reconsiid.
Grafton, It is proposed that instead OF
appointing clerk for each committee,
that three be chosen to do all the com
mittse writing Of the Assembly. II the
fourteen should lose' their places as was
rather strongly intimated by the passage
of the resolution-Dy 80 to 9-petltlons
for relief may be looked for.
