The plant is the largest ever exhibited
on the coast. The cones number nfteen,
are blood red, and grow together IN a
bunch. The plant derives Its name
from the fact that it forces It's way up
through the snow in the spring OF the
wear, and the edges of the cones have
an appearance of frost covered by. a
fine white fringe, which grows in the
form of crys:allization.

President McMahon,. Reception

New York, December 81. A Paris special says
the published progr ANNE of the order which is TO
be observed at President McMahons New Years
reception at the Palace Elysee, is much comment
ed upon, because it is the first time since the war
with Germany of such an interest.
The Journal Official announces that the Pres-
dent will be attended by the n arshas and gen
erals on duty, and also by Major Gubert, arch
bishop Of Paris, who stands beside the President.
This is the first time since the reign Of Charles
that prelate of Paris has been placed, and the
fact of the leader of the ultra montanes holding
the post of honor causes great sensation. Mar
shall Mcmahon thus nficts indirectly slight on
the prerogative of the National Assembly.
The Tweed certionari came up in the supreme
count general term to-day, and was urged for set
Element and ruling by David Dudley Field, who
offered to take the first impressions of the court
without extended argument. The District Attor-
ney thought the case should be argued like any
other, and was not ready, as the papers
were rot served on him. 1t was decided if the
council could fix earlier day. the court
would hear the case If not it would be argued
Tuesday. Judge Davis intimated that he will not
sit but will get another Judge to replace him.
In the case of Lester Wallack of Wallack's
Theatre who obtained an injunction restraining the

payment of five hundred dollars a year, license
for the general term of the supreme court day,
reversed the decision of the court below, and
held that the provisions Of the case are constitu-
tional.

Commencement of Proceeding
Testimony of Mayor O'Leary.

Vicksburg, December 81. The Congressional
investigating committee met to-day in the Cour,
House, the chairman, Mr.. Conger, in the chair
Quite number of prominent citizens we're pres.
ent
Mayor OTcary was the first witness, and testi
fed that his proclamation of December 9TH was
issued because the one issued by Governor Ames
was unfair and calculated to excite the people,.
On Sunday, Decem err 9th, Crosby, the colored
Sheriff, came to him and told him that the colored
people in the country were very much excited
about his being put out of Office and asked him
to assist him in preserving peace, which he prom
iscd to do.
About o'clock the next morning, Dr. Shannon
and two other gentlemen came to his house, woke
him up and told him that armed bodies Of negroes
were marching on the city.
The Mayor gave detailed account of the fight
ing, which does not differ essentially from the
particulars telegraphed at the time. He did not
call upon any county officers to aid him in main
toining peace, because he believed they were in
tcrcsted with the negroes in the movement.
The last census showed the population of Vicks-
burg to be 1000, with ma jority of blacks. The
majority Of the latter in Warren county was three
to one.
The arming of the citizens was to repel the at
tack only. There has been no disorder since.
The fight did not arise on the color line, but from
Crosby's resignation and the attempt Of the ne
groes to reinstate HIM. The witnes, continued.
| have been a resident here since 1865. The tax
payers league was composed of democrats and re-
publicans, and the most substantial and influen-
tial men of the city. Mr.. Woodruff the president
was republican The men who were armed on
the day of the fight, belonged to both parties.
Gov Ames' statement in his proclamation, that the
whites wanted to deprive the negroes of their
rights because of their color, was untrue. No
such thing was ever limited.

Religious Tnterest-An Incendiary Fire
Sporting.

Quite a revival of religion has been in progress
for some time past, in the Methodist denomi nation
in the west part of this town. social meeting was
held at the Crcasey school house, iu District No.
s, on Christmas eve; at eleven o'clock one Of the
neighbors saw bright light in the direction of the
school house, but knowing of the occasion thought
nothing more about the matter. But about one
o'clock Christmas afternoon, as Mr.. Atwood Crea-
sey was going to his barn to feed the CATTLE he
discovered smoke issuing from the school house.
He Immediately started for the vicinity of the
house, and on arriving raised the window and
found the house SO filled with smoke, it was some
time before the exact position Of the fire was dis
covered. Mr.. Creasey gave the alarm, and with
assistance succeeded in subduing the flames. 1t
was discovered that the fire was set in several pla-
ces. The Goals and ashes were taken from the
stove and scattered over the floor. 1t is thought
that the incendiary was one of those mean crea-
lures who 60 not believe in holding religious
meetings On the other hand, some regret that
the house was not burnt, so that new one might
be built.
Partridges are very plenty in the woods, and
hunters are busy and having rare sport. From
the noise produced by burning powder, one
would think it was general training"

THE FIRE RECORD.
Fires In the cry during Is74.-The Loss
very small.

Through the courtesy of Capt. II. T. Morse,
Chief Engineer of the Augusta Fire Department,
we are able to present the following record of fires
in this city, the past year, with suggestions by the
Chief:
Jan. 20h-Department called to IIallowell to
assist in extinguishing fire.
May Sh-The first fire of the season was car
loaded with shingles, the fire breaking out at 8
o'clock in the evening. The canvas on the freight
train from Bangor, and was set off ON side track
on Bridge street. An alarm was sounded, calling
out the entire department; fire extngushed by
the Atlantic and Pacific engines steamer all ready
to work, but was not needed. Fire caused by
sparks from the locomotive. Damage, $50; no
insurance.
May 23d--A telegram received at $50 o'clock,
summoned the Cushnoc company, with engine, to
Vass aboro'; they rendered good service in saving
property. The steamer was set at work without
unloading from the railroad train, the water being
taken from little brook that across the track.
June 25th-An alarm of fire at 7.3O o'clock, p.
NJ, was caused by fire being discovered in one
and half story house on Gannett street, belong
ing to Mrs. Tobey, and occupied by that lady and
William Robbins. Fire extinguished with few
buckets of water; department all out, but not
called into service. A small boy at play with
matches in clothes closet, over the front hall,
was supposed to have caused the fire. Damage
500; no insurance. In this case, had the fire got
underway, the necessity would have been demon
strated Of a larger hose carriage. The house is so
situated that it would have taken vsst amount
of hose to carry water to the fire. The delay is
often fatal and most disastrous in sending team

A mutual understanding has been developed
that no smuggling in the cars has been carried on
