IN VIEW OF the opposition OF many bank
officers To have their checks subject to the
scrutiny of internal revenue officers, with
the view to ascertain whether they are pro-
peTly stamped according to law, the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue has sugges ted
that such examination be included in the
duties of regular bank examiners. Secretary
BristOw will accept the suggestion, and at
an early day impose this additional duty
upon the regularly appointed examiners for
the banks of the several states. This will
sustain the views of the Controller of the
Currency.

This is an enterprise which should be

NlysteriOus Burglary.

Tuesday night the residence OF Col.
George A. Merrill, was entered by burglars
after the family had retired, and jewels
and valuables amounting to about two hum
dred and fifty dollars in value, stolen there
from. The house was entered through an
unfast ened window in the front parlor.
The burglars probably went directly from
there to Miss Katie Merrill's room up
stairs, where they took the bureau drawer
containing her jewel case, went down to
the library and ransacked the drawer and
departed: Among the articles stolen was
a valuable diamond ring belonging to Mrs.
GA. Merrill. Miss Merrill and three OF heI
brothers, one Of them a young man about
eighteen years old, were in the house, bu
were not awakened, and knew nothing o.
the robbery ill morning. There was
large dog locked in the dining room wher
the silver was kept, which frightened tn
burglars from attempting that room, /
the dog had been at liberty he would prou
ably have awakened the inmates. IN
robbers left no clue by which they can b
traced, and no one is suspected, but
would seem as if it must have been som
one familiar with the premises.

The floral decorations of the Methodist

were of rare elegance and beauty. On a

cross of the most beautiful flowers, rising
from a large bouquet, made up in the finest
taste; on the platform was a crown, sur
mounted by a smaller cross, while species
of fern adorned one end of the pulpit sofa
and vine the other. In the background
was a cluster of Gala lilies, and bouquets
we're placed in different positions-all
choice flowers, elegantly arranged. In the
evening, during the children's service, a
canvass was unrolled on the wall back of
the pulpit, displaying various mottos ap-
proprate to the day and the great event it

Richmond is troubled with straglers
claiming to be men that work in building
railroads. 1t Is nothing uncommon for
gangs of men from two to eight to beg
their supper, lodging, and breakfast.
Usually they are sent to the overseer of the
poor Many of the men are hard looking,
and poorly clad. When questioned closely
they will admit they spend their money for
strong drink, and never get any ahead.
They pretend they are going to the Wells
river road from the road across the lake,
or else across the lake from Wells river.

TERRIBLE CONFEDERATION.
The Business Part of TiconderOga In
Ruins.
PROBABLE LOSS 100000.

TIcoNDERooA, N. Y, March 81.
Ticonderoga was visited this morning
with one of the most disastrous connagra-
tons that this section of the state has ever
witnessed, destroying nearly the entire bus
iness part of the village, and burning prop
erty to an extent which can only be COM
pretended from its reaching into
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
What was yesterday the busy marts of
trade, and where centered the business in
terests of hundreds, to-day is swept away ;
where stood imposing blocks and beautiful
homes but day ago, we now see but a
blackened mass of ruins, and desolation.
The people of this historic town are de-
pressed but not discouraged by this terrible
scourge.
The fire was discovered by travelling
agent stopping at the Central house, who
was awakened by the smell of smoke. He
arose, ana upon looking in the direction of
the Exchange building, saw smoke issuing
from the wing part of that building. He
Immediately gave the alarm. This was at
o'clock a. m. The alarm soon became
general, and the whole village was soon
awake to the fact that
TERRIBLE FIRE
was raging in their midst. Hardly had
the people began to gather in the vicinity
of the fire, before the immense Exchange
building was one mass of flames, with the
fire reaching forth toward the other build
ings in every direction. With no other
means to fight the fiend but with pals of
water, the stoutest heart qualed at the
prospect. The Exchange building was a
three-story wooden structure of modern
style the first story was occupied by Pond
e. Cook, drugs and stationery M. L..
Royce, dry goods, and II. Fields, drugs
and medicines. The upper rooms con-
tanned three fine halls, occupied respective
ly by good templars, masons and grand
army of the republic, besides several off,
ces. The wing part, in which the fire was
discovered, was occupied by RaYnau

greater or less extent. Payne, Gilligan G.
Co., and VIM s. Fleming are undoubted,
ly the greatest losers, with, perhaps, the
exception of John Mccormick, who
suffers to the extent of $4,000,

way 6 Co. are insured for $4,000.
which will probably cover the greater por-
ton of their loss, as they. saved consid-
cradle of their stock. VIM. s. Fleming
held insurance on the hotel property to
the amount of $4,000, a part of which
was only placed the day previous. This
will not cover his loss, as the Central
House had been but recently rebuilt and
furnished throughout, making 1t one of
the best appointed hotels In the country,
and capable of furnishing accommodation
to large number OF guests. This pro-
perty was valued at $4,000.
The fire was undoubtedly caused by the
explosion of kerosene lamp, which had
been left burning on the counter of
Payne, Gilligan g. Co.'S store. Whether
this had been their custom we were un-
able to learn. No other theory has been
advanced as to the probable cause of this
terrible conflagration, and in all probability
this is the correct one.
If the water-works, which Ticonderoga is
at present engaged in building, by which
water is to be brought from Lake George,
with fall of $50 feet, been in operation,
we should be spared the sad task of chron-
cling such destruction of property as we
do this morning. The following firms are

DIR. All KING AGAIN
His Arrival In Troy.

DIR. All King, otherwise known as Au-
gustus King, the Chinese doctor, whose ex-
plots as a bigamst have been previously
mentioned, arrived at the Jail from Rut-
land, Tuesday morning, says the Troy
Times. His history of his own life is
rather interesting.
son OF A WEALTHY TEA MERCHANT.
His father is wealthy tea merchant in
Pekin, and at the age of fifteen years All
commenced the study of botanical medi-
cine, the kind practiced in China. In 1864,
possessed with a desire to travel, he went
to Chill, South America, where he pursued
the practice and study of medicine. He
also visited France and other European
countries, where he learned to practice al
lopaihy, and in 1867 came to this country.
He took up his residence in New York and
remained there two years, partner of
"Sing Wan" the Chinese physician who
created such furore there in 1867 6S. He
returned to Europe and remained abroad
until 1871, when he revisited America and
permanently settled in Utica. Here he re-
NAMED practicing medicine until the COM
mencement of the year 1875, when he fell
victim to the Vaccinations of Miss Mat
tison of that city. The "Melican" lady
was too much for him, and he succumbed,
the marriage cerimony being performed
early the same year.
A BRIEF HONEYMOON.
His dreams of welded bliss were soon
ended, and All King discovered, alas too
late, that he and his wife were tied in
dissolrbly. In the month of May she per
suaded him to sign all of his oronan1n
ahout g mn ovar to~a1u
