THE CE-PREsIDENT ROBBED or
$4,000 Misfortune never comes singly.
Poor Colfax can well testify to the truth
of this saying. Saturday afternoon,
while he and his father-in-law, Mat
thews, were engaged in their respective
duties at the capitol, plausible, stylish
" dressed young man, who had been
stavinr as a guest at Wormley's hotel,
walked into Colfax's room, broke his
trunk open and helped himself to the
valuables, consisting of four thou
sand dollars worth of bonds and cou-
pons. When Colfax returned in the
evening the remnant of that happy smile
which ornamented his face before the
black days of credit mobilier was chilled
into blank amazement 1t is not deem
ed good to mention for the present the
registered name of that plausible young
stranger, although it was probably, like
the shirt on his back, changed as often
as convenient. Suffice it to say that he
is supposed to have taken the O'Clock
D. m. train for New York Saturday, inn
mediately after his transaction was exc
cnted He did not leave his future adj
dress behind him. The only token OF
his visit to the vice PRESIDENT sroom was
an umbrella which he left on the bed,
and which is identified as having belong
ed to him. The thief was a gentleman
ly looking man of about thirty five, with
high toned English airs about him.
Some suppose him to have been an en-
missary for an investigating committee
of light fingered gentry in New York,
who presumably came here in response
to Colfax's late challenge to the Poland
committee to investigate his household
affairs. 1t is remarkable coincidence,
too, that the value of the bonds and cou-
pons distracted by the emissary afore-
said should have been $4,000, the very
amount which Colfax is alleged to have
received from the liberal government
contractor, Nesbitt, as donation, or,
as malicious persons have it, as year ,aI
salary in quarterly installments,. The
colored gentlemen at Wormley's are
very mysterious about the theft, as Mr.
| Coifax has specially requested that the
matter remain profound secret.

The trial had several incidental cir
cumstances of interest. 1t is the first
that has ever been tried in this country
by ''struck jury" the. popularity of
which is that, after forty-eight persons
who are deemed best qualifert-to try the
matter have been selected the counsel
on each side alternately strike off one
name after another till only twelve re-
main. The verdict is hrlihant triumph
for O'Conor, who has been conversant
with the estate in question for over forty
years, and having been Aaron Burr's
counsel in the divorce brought by Mad
anne Jumel. 1t is believed he will re-
ceive the largest fee ever paid in any
law case in the world, 100000 some
think. At any rate, man who has
just had his right to six million dollar
estate established, can afford to be gene
rous with his lawyer

NoRTH CAROIINA,-A startling sensa-
ton was created in the lower branch of
the North Carolina Legislature, Tuesday,
by the relation of the particulars of the
until now mysterious murder of Senator
John w. Stevens, at Yanceyville, in
June, 1870. The facts were made pub
lie in a speech of a Republican member
against the amnesty bin which aims to
free the Ku KIux felons, and We're from
sworn statements of one of the party
who committed the murder. During the
progress of a Democratic public meeting
in the county court room, Stevens, who
was present. was approached by a DEM
ocrat wish 4 smile and asked to step
down stairs Il moment. This he readily
consented 10 do. He was taken to one
of the lower ante-ro2ms, which he was
surprised to find filled with masked men.
The door was quickly locked behind him,
a rope fixed us a lasSo was thrown over
his head from behind and he was told
that he must renounoo his Republican
principles. leave the State, or die He
replied that be could not ren0unce his
principles or leave the State, for his all
was there. Then he was told that he
must die. He was allowed to take look
from 4 window at his home near by and
see his children playing in front of his
house, and then he was thrown down on
a table, the rope tightened, and the jugu-
lar vein severed, while negro held 2
bucket to catch the blood. When he
was pronounced dead the crowd went
up stairs and took part in the meeting,
applauoing and cheering the speeches.
The guilty parties are now known and
warrants are out for their arrest. These
particulars are from a Raleigh special to
the Times

The question was taken by ayes and
nays and decided in the negative by
yeas 70, nays 108. Sothe House refused
to consider the resolution.
Mr.. Sargent then offered resolution
discharging the select committee on the
Credit Mobiier matter from further CON
sideration on the subject, which was
agreed to by vote of la to 70.
The Speaker then stated that this &C
ton removed the matter entirely from
the consideration of the House. The
House then after unimportant business

FIRE and Loss of Life in Boston.

DOoIOA, req. Il.
A six story brick building, corner of
Hanover and Blackstone streets, occu-
pied by a manufacturer of mattresses and
bedding, was destroyed by fire this morn
ing. Several persons are reported killed
by falling walls.
The fire proves to have been very
serious. A large number of girls en-
ployed by Hammett were at work when
the fire was discovered. One, named
Mary Moore, jumped from a third story
window and received probably fatal in
juries. The walls fell about an hour
after the fire broke out, and several fire
men were killed and wounded. The
following are the names of the killed
and wounded as far as are now known:
James Sturks, dead; r. p. Stowell,
dead; James Price, Jr., dead. Injured,
G II. Scott, o. L. Woods, Charles A
Scott, Thomas Merritt, Charles Inger-
soil and William Lecain. The injured
were taken into drug stores, attended by
physicians, and afterwards removed TO
the City Hospital. II is feared that a
number are under the ruins, and fire
men are at work removing the debris.
SECOND DISPATCH.
BosToN, Feb. q.
The latest reports of the Hanover
street fire state that Mary Babb and
Lizzie Kinks, two girls employed by
Mr. Hammett, are missing, and, prob
ably, buried in the ruins. They were
last seen running for their hats and
cloaks. A substitute fireman, named
Hayes. is also missing. The total casu-
alties to fremen are two killed outright.
two supposed fatally wounded, twelve
more or less injured, and one missing.
The pecuniary losses are not fully
known, but is, probably, about fifty
thousand dollars, mostly insured. The
walls Of the building were a sham,
pieced out of ancient and modern work
manships, the three upper stories being
built upon the lower portion with eight
inch walls. The toppling of the upper
walls threw the ladders, covered with
hosemen, outward, dashing them 10
death and terrible injuries. A coroDer's
jury will investigate the catastrophe.

MR.. JOHN ALTMAN, farmer residing

Mr.. JOHN ALTMAN, farmer residing
about mile west OF Greensburg, is the
happy possessor of two-year old bull
and spring chicken which manifest the
most remarkable affection for one another.
About three weeks ago the chicken lost
its mother through the subtle agency of q
weazle, and the forlorn little creature went
about chipping its woe, till the bull took
compassion on it and assuaged its grief by
certain acts Of kindness and tenderness
that resulted in mutual regard that is
very curious. The chicken will now roost
onno other place save on the bulbs neck
afew inches back Of the horns, while the
bull complacently chews his cud or calmly
sleeps without disturbing it in the least.

A CORRESPONDENT of The Scientific
American says: "The best remedy for
bleeding at the nose, as given by DR..
Gleason in one of his lectures, is vigorous
motion of the jaws as if in the act Of mas
tication. In the case Of child wad OF
paper should be placed in its mouth. and
the child instructed to chew it hard. OF
course an adult does not need the paper.
1t is the molten of the jaw that stops the
flow of blood. This remedy is so very
simple that many will feel inclined to laugh
at it, but it has never been known to fail in
single instance, even in very severe cases. y
