INCENDIARIsM. - The National Board
of Underwriters at their late meeting in
the City Of New York, resolved to raise
a fund of 100000 for the detection,
conviction and punishment of parties
engaged in the nefarious business of in
cendiarism and arson. The Executive
Committee of that Board at their meet
ing on the 14th inst, carried out the
resolution and opened the subscription.
We hail this movement as step in the
right direction, and commend the ac-
ton as one not only likely to benefit
Underwriters, but also to protect the
public from wholesale loss. This action
is the more important when it is remem-
bered that the experience of the large
companies transacting the business of
fire insurance in the United States shows
that the proportion of loss to be attribut-
ed to the above causes is not less than 33
per cent of the whole, or loss to the
country of at least twenty-five millions
of dollars per annum.

Complaints are reported numerous in
the Western States and in western New
York, of the new postal act, and we do
not think New England will be behind,
and especially in the Southern States
where the old law is needed quite as
much as in any other part of the coun-
try. The next six months will tell the
story and probably convince Congress
to let alone statute of which there has
been no complaint and which has been
received with favor for quarter of a

HE LATEST SwINDLE.-A Chicago
paper gives an account of confidence
game that is being practiced in that city
at present. An old hat worth fifty cents
is carefully done up in box and taken
to the residence of some gentleman
whose name is in the directory, always
at an hour when the gentleman is not at
home. The messenger presents the hat
to the lady of the house, and says Mr.
has purchased the hat and paid one dol
lar on it, giving orders to present the
bill for the balance when the hat is sent
up. The lady looks at the bill, pays it,
and the messenger departs with the
money. The wrath of the gentleman
on coming home and finding a beaver
that would disgrace a third-rate pawn
shop can be imagined. The trick has
been usually successful. At one house
where the messenger arrived with his
hat, the lady surveyed the bill, but hay.
ing no ready money to squander on plug
hats for her husband gave the man an
order on the grocery for $3.50. The
beauty took the order, changed it to
s1450. took it to the grocery store and
had it cashed.

LOSS ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

About two acres of Boston was burnt
on Friday forenoon of last week, the fire
having started at about $50 in the morn
ing, in the furniture store of Haley,
Morse & Co., All Washington street,
Among the more noted buildings de-
stroyed, were the Globe Theatre, the
Chickering Piano establishment, Airing
ton Hall, International Hotel, and a
large number of stores and other places
of business, the upper stories of which
were used for dwellings. The frs. hour
Of the fire was more threatening than
their disastrous fire of last November,
but it was got under control at about
11.30. The origin or cause of the fire
we have not seen stated. The total loss
is some one million dollars.
The fire of course created some excite
ment among insurance companies, but
their losses are not as heavy as first fear
ed. The Hartford (Ct.) Companies are
in some $4,000, of which no one Com
pany has over $4,000. The New York
Companies were very generally hit but
in snail amounts.
INCIDENTS, &c.
Among the incidents of the day was
the sight of Rev. w. H. II. Murray, with
SLOUGH hat and linen buster, tugging
his trotting wagon from a stable on Ma
son street to place of safety.
Several girls in the employ of Haley,
Morse & Co., had narrow escape. They
were at work in the upholstery rooms in
the fourth story, and several were rem
dered insensible by the smoke and had
to be carried out. There we're no fatali-
ties, however, and all have recovered.
As laboring man was standing in
front of Boylston Market his clothes
caught from the cinders, and he danced
hornpipe in lively style for few
moments. The crowd "put him out"
The sparks and cinders were blown in
great profusion south easterly and rem
dered the buildings for long distance
in danger. The occupants of the build
ings for many squares were wetting down
the tops of them and in this way saved
many from taking fire.
The day being holiday the report of
the fire, which was telegraphed to the
surrounding towns, brought thousands
Of people to the city. Every train in
ward bound was crowded with anxious
business men and curious sensation seek
ers. There could not have been less
than one hundred thousand people near
the scene of the fire when at its height.

MT. MANsFIELD.-SNow BANKS IN
JUNE.-A HORSE TUMBLEs 200 FEET
Down THE MOUNTAIN There was
quite an excitement on the east side of
Mt. Mansfield last Saturday, the 3lst.
Mr.. Bruce started from Stowe village
with four horse team and party of
visitors for the summit, and got along
well until within half mile Of the
Summit House, where he found it was
impossible to drive through it. He &C.
cordingly unhitched his horses and turned
them back by the carriage. Three of
them passed by all right. The other
got off of the road on to the snow ont
side, which was of immense depth. The
snow gave way under the weight of the
horse, and every struggle he made to
keep his head out Of the snow to
breathe carried him down the mountain
side, among trees and rocks, till he final
ly rested some 200 feet down. There be-
ing no way, with the conveniences at
hand, to get him out, Mr.. Bruce left a
guard TO keep an eye on his movements.
and returned eight miles TO Stowe vii
lage to get assistance and machinery to
rescue his beast, both of which were
quickly on the road, and just before
dark they succeeded in extrieating the
horse and elevated him TO terra frma in
safety, after having been in the snow for
five hours. All returned in the evening
in good condition from their winter trip

RrOwnlOw on Hill.

Parson Brownlow is evidently not SO
much of used up man as has been re-
ported. I'D. ii. Hill, late Lieutenant
General of the rebel army" catches it in
letter from Senator Brownlow, in re-
turn for some disgraceful comments he
had been making in his (Hill's) North
Carolina paper, upon the deaths of Gen.
Candy and other distinguished Union
lists. The following specimen of the
Parsons retort will suffice:
"Now, Gen. Hill, while you are false
ly accusing Gen. Candy of brutality, |
propose to enlighten the public as to
your military record. While in COM
mand in North Carolina, during the
late war. twenty.six white men were tried
ON the charge of being loyal to the Unit
ed States. No other offence was alleged
against them. They were put on trial
late in the afternoon, and by the ver-
dict of drum-head court martial, act
ing under your orders, all were hung I'M
til dead before breakfast the next morn
ing, without benefit of clergy. Are you
not a beautiful specimen to assail Can
by on the score of brutality? l can
think of nothing as supremely ridicu-
lous, unless it would be for you and your
friend, Capt Jack, to write treatise on
civilization for distribution among the
Ku-Klux of North Carolina. Indeed,
if | did not know that you were in
North Carolina, | should infer from the
brutality of your assault on Candy,
Thomas and others, that you were in the
Lava Beds when it was written, and that
the article was the joint production of
yourself and Capt. Jack.
You rejoice over my paralysis as a
punishment of God, because, as you say,

IMPORTANT CONSTITUTIONAL CUES
TIoN.-An important case has just gone
to the supreme court from Oxford,
Maine, which involves the constitution
ality of the law exempting manufactur-
ing establishments from taxation. The
firm Of E. Edwards & Co. have sued
the town of Oxford to recover the amount
of tax paid by them under protest, on
property which they claimed is exempt
under the act of the town. The defence
of the town is, that the act of the Legis-
lature authorizing such exemption is
unconstitutional, and on this single ques-
ton of the coustitutionality of the law,
the case has been made up by agreement
and referred to the court for the decision.
The town having become prosperous
from state of poverty under the ex-
emption provision, the case is one of
much general as well as local interest.

Senator Edmunds and the Back
Pay.


Pay.
We find that some people have the
idea that Senator Edmunds drew his
back pay and kept it, but the fact is he
left for Europe Immediately on the ad-
journment of Congress without drawing
the money. When he returns we have
no doubt he will restore the money to
the treasury or make some other proper
use of it. AT any rate it will be time
enough to take his case in hand when
he shall have opportunity to act in the
matter himself Woodstock Standard.
The persons who have been under
concern of mind ON Mr.. Edmund's &C.
count in this matter, may be interested
to know that he quietly but expressly
declined to receive the back pay. AS
authority for this statement, we take the
liberty of quoting the following from a
private letter from Senator Edmunds,
dated at Rome, May 9th:
see much is said in the papers
about back pay business. / settled my
account Immediately after March 4th,
on the old basis, and refused to have
the back pay brought in any form"
We further have it on very good au-
tbority that Mr.. Edmunds, in an inter-
view with one of our Vermont Congress
men on the evening of his departure,
expressed the hope that none of the
Vermont delegation would touch their
back pay, in any shape. Burlington
