New ORLEANS, September 5.--During last
night the offices of Attorney General Field
in the St. Louis Hotel, now used as State
House, were broken open, and ALI the records
therein were placed in heap in the centre
or the main Office, together with apart Of the
furniture, and were saturated with coal oil
and set on fire. Fortunatelythe flames went
tout, and only one or two papers were
,cbarred, though all rendered nearly illegible
by the oil. The incendiaries appear to have
been frightened off before completing their

AN INTELLIGENT MARE.--rLexington NV

AN INTELLIGENT MARE.--[Lexington (Ky.)
fGazette, September 2. lon the Harr0ds.
burg road, four miles from Lexington, lives
Mr.. Funkhauser. Last Tuesday night, as
Mr.. F. was enjoying the profound sleep
which follows an honest mans hard days
work, he was awakened by the repeated
ne,ghing of his saddle nag. After waiting
some time for the mare to cease, be became
| impatient, and. bouncing out OF bed, drove
, her off. He thought It rather strange, too,
| that she should come to the house and leave
| her colt in the woods, where she had been
running some weeks. He thought it still
! more remarkable that his man, usually very
careful, should have left the gate open so
that the mare could come from the woods to
| the house. g.s., ygels-. ~ m ~.
While he was turning these things overin
his mind, in that half unconscious state pre-
ceding sleep, be was again aroused by the
mare. She neighed loud and shrill, and at
last put her head to his window. Her persist
ency finally suggested that something might
| be wrong with her. He got up again, but as
soon as he approached she started in a brisk
trot for the woods, and he reentered the
house. But scarce had he seated himself In
the bed when the mare was again at The win
dow, making more noise than ever. At last
he thought of the colt, and, Remembering
some wonderful instances of intelligence in
brutes, determined to follow The mare
preceded him to the gate, when he opened
| it. she passed through, and Immediately
struck out through the darkness, and he lost
sight of her. When he had stood ponder
| ing few minutes. thinking the mare had
played rather sharp game on him to get
back to her colt, and when he had just start
ed 'agsin for the house in no good humor,
the mare reappeared. at first he was dis.
posed to go on home, but she actually block.
ed his way at every step. He took the hint,
and again followed her, and near the middle
of the wood she stopped at sink hole. a
| little examination showed him the colt lying
on its back at the bottom, and unable to
| move. he had but one match, and used this
up in seeing the position OF the colt. be
found himself unable to extricate 1t without
assistance, and it was near morning before he
obtained help and got the colt out. The
mare. mean time, had pranced around, show
ing heIiveliest interest in everything done,
and, when the colt was finally relieved, her
ioy seemed extreme. Mr. f. made careful
examination to ascertain, if possible; how she
cot out of the woods, and finally found
| where she had thrown a top rail on, ana
then Jumped the fence. She had never been
knoWn to jump fence before.

THE POOR IN wEsTCHEsrER.

Considering the gloomy auspices under which
the winter commenced in Westchester county,
owing to partial suspension OF almost every
branch OF manual industry, the number OF in0fgent
poor has been remarkably small, WHILE excepting
isolated cases. instances of absolute restitution
have thus far been almost altogether unknown. In
the city OF Yonkers and also in OF the thicky
populated towns this gratifying state Of affairs
among the class who. in the best times only
live from hand to mouth" is in great
measure, due to the timely action Of benevolent
persons, mostly connected with the churches, who
organized relief societies and other means Of
assisting the poor in their MIDST. In all OF the
towns there is, OF course, the usual aid extended
by the local authorities to those in need OF assist
ance. 1t is doubtless true that there are families
in various portions OF the county which are at this
moment the victims Of 'chin pcnury," while being
too sensitive TO incur the humiliation which Is
popularity supposed to clothe, as with garment,
the recipients Of charity. These latter conse-
quently suffer III silence, carefully keeping the
The only place in the country where several fam

Pleasant, neiehborhood chiefly inhabited by poor
artisans, factory operatives and DAY iab0rers.
Here 1t SAID that several cases Of suffering for
the neCessaries OF life were brought to the notice
of the district Poormaster M. j. Snnott, who, after
partially relieving their wants, was seconded by the
efforts OF the Young Mems Christian Association
at Tarrytown, the members of which are making

field for the exercise OF charity, as prominent
physician Of the village above named informed
HERALD representative yesterday Of two or three
instances OF poverty which had come under his OBJ
servatiOn on the preceding day. In one case,
where he made gratuiJOus visit to the miserable
abode or man and wife. who are both invalids,
he found the parties mentioned endeavoring
TO boil quantity OF potato parlngs,
turnip Feelings and other garbage, these
being the only food they could find
wherewith to appease their hunger. 1t is not i'm
probable that some Of the destitute may be over
looked by those inclined to be benevolent as thus
organized system Of relief has been matured.
During a conversation with P0ormaster Alfred
Lawrence, OF the town Of Greenburg, 1t was ascer-
tanned that in his district there some families
who are believed to be In want, but who are too
proud to acknowledge their poverty or to receive
assistance from those who would be willing to help
them. This official states that he has, up to the
present, relieved the wants OF all who have ap.
piled to him aid and adds that no persons in
his town need suffer II they will only apply for
assistance.

MRS. KNOCKS CONCERT.
To THE EDITOR OF tn. HRRALp:-

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
'One Dollar" writes to know what became OF the
money which was realized from the concert of Mrs.
E. Knox. given In Steinway Hall, for the benefit OF
the poor OF New York. In justice to Mrs. Knox,
who on this occasion 60 kindly gave her own SER
vices ana procured the services Of other distn-
guished artists, desire to state that the tickets
for this concert were distributed among the vari-
Gus non-salared charitable societies OF the city,
some sixteen In number These societies sold the
tickets and applied the money in relieving the
poor people under their CHARGE ST. Johns Guild
received 800, ana win acknowledge the amount
received for the same as soon as 1t Is known how
many were sold. Thus IL will be seen that Mrs.
Knox never received any money from the concert
except for q lew tickets which she reserved in
order to pay the necessary expenses OF the enter
tainment She will be prepared to make q full
statement OF the affair as soon as she hears from
the various societies. Very truly yours.

II is cheering to be able to state that, amid all
the distress and lack Of employment among the
poorer classes during the past few months, the
generous and charitable people of Jersey City
to the height OF the occasion and warded of actual
restitution. Not single case OF starvation has
come under the notice OF the HERALD reporter or
his informants who are engaged in the good work
Of relieving the needy. But why3 The reports OF
the relief committees will furnish the answer.
Take these committees away and Jersey CITY, like
other cities, would quickly become the abode OF
wretchedness and misery.
First OF all comes the soup house opened by the
Young Mems Christian Association at Kepler Hall
in Warren street. on the 10th Of December The
average number OF persons relieved this place Is
$50 week, while seventy-hye families are supplied
daily with soup or coffee and bread sent to their
houses The applicant for relief either pays five
cents LOT each meal or produces ticket furnished
by the Union Relief Association or by charitable
citizens. No one Is ever sent away hungry, how
ever. IL man Is not known TO be a "burnmert he
Will be supplied gratis Many cases have been
known in which tickets have been sold by the re.
cipients OF charity, and the money so obtained
spent In gnmil. The following IL the form OF
the ticket
