| A frightful scene, says the Pail Mall
| Gazette, occurred at q recent meeting OF
the Fortar Scotland town council. The
subject under discussion was propo-
sal to petition in favor OF the Permissive
bill. Councillor Rutherford, when
speaking in favor OF the petition, said
that che believed they might as well ar
que with Red Indians In favor oil civil
government as reason with the Forfar
magistrates in favor of the retraction of
the drink traffic." This unlucky obser-
walton led to disturbance. 'sYou should
not" said tho Provost, addressing
Councillor Rutherford, 'sspeak of the
magistrates and Town Council OF Forfar
as BED Indians. l call you to order.
Your impudence Is unhounded." "Keep
your temper, Provost" rejoined Coun-
cilor Rutherford. "How can I,'' re-
piled the Provost bitterly, "keep my
temper when you say the magistrates OF
Forfar are disgrace to Red IndiansP l
shall take none OF your insults: shall
take none OF your impudence--not
word OF 1t, sir" Thus admonished.
Councillor Rutherford attempted to ex-
plain that he did not say the magistrates
actually were Red Indians, but no one
would accept his explanation, and twice
during the furious battle that ensued
did one of the councillors assume ssa
fighting attitude" on the latter occasion
placing his nat within short distance
of Councillor Rutherford's nose. Ulti-
mately order, but not peace, was re-
stored.

Tha End of nnlvaran

A writer in the Fortnightly Review
makes an effort to show that, although
we can in no way time the beginning of
the universe, we have much evidence to
show that the world began to solidify
between one and two hundred of mil
lions Of years ago, and that, though we
can say nothing as to the end of the
universe, the end Of this earth, and with
it of consciousness upon the earth, is as
probably as science can make anything.
The reader will certainly not be tempted
TO patient reading by the gloomy con-
%clnsion that study of the origin and pro-
babe destiny Of the universe is useless,
because we have from a scientific point
Of view no data whatever to 20 upon
I'm any ease all VIC know is that the sun
is going out. II we fall into the sun
then we shall be fried; if we 20 away
frem the sun, or the sun goes out,
then we shall be frozen. So that, so
far as the earth is concerned, we have no
means Of determining what will be the
character of the end, but we know that
one Of these two things must take place
in time. But in regard to the whole
universe, if we we're to travel forward
as we have Travelled backward in time,
consider things as falling together, we
should come finally to a great central
mass, all in one piece, which would send
out waves of heat through a perfectly
empty ether, and gradually cool itself
down. AS this mass got cool it would
be deprived of sl life or motion II
would be just a mere m frozen
block in the middle of the ether. But
that conclusion, which is like the one
that we discussed about the beginning Of
the world, is one which we have no right
whatever to rest upon. 1t depends upon
the same assumption that the laws Of
geometry and mechanics are exactly and
absolutely true, and hat they have con
tinued exactly and absolutely true for
ever aud ever.

At ll:30 o'clock to-day a Ere, caused
by a defective aue, broke out in the
kitchen attached to the n e-story frame
residence Of Mr.. James Gallagher, on
Tennessee street, near the corner Of But
Ter. The FIRE spread with great ra-
pidity and in twenty minutes the flames
had full possession Of the building, ow-
ing to a strong wind and the dryness Of
the timbers. Mr.. Gallagher was at home
at the time and succeeded in saving the
greater portion of his furniture, but his
residence, kitchen and out-houses were
burned to the ground, notwithstanding
the efforts made by the Shelby street FIRE
boys and the Adams street hook and lad
der company, Our reporter was on the
ground in a few minutes and discovered
that Mr.. Gallagher's loss on buildings
amounted TO about $500 and on furni-
ture about 5000. BE was insured in the
Queens (Tomlinson' s agency, for $1,000
on house and furniture. Our reporter

home on the hook and ladder truck,
which, on the worn out Nicolson pave
ment, pitched like a boat amid the
breakers, and reminded our mar Of early
life by the sea shore.

KNIGHTS OF INNIsFA1L.-The Knights
of Innisfail will give their second annual
picnic at James Park Wednesday, the
I'd Of June. AS the knights Of Innisfail
claim to be the oldest order Of ohivalry
in existence, it is reasonable to suppose
that they will make this occasion one Of
the most agreeable and delightful
ever given at James Park. They are
making extensive preparations, and
have secured the best music in the city.
Nothing will be left undone that could
contribute in any way to the enjoyment
OF visitors, and we a predict therefore
a very large attendance.
The ITALIAN PIcErc Rain compel.
ing the postponement Of the picnic on
tne day FIRST set by the Italian Society, it
will be given at James Park on Monday
next, June 7th, when the original pro.
gramme will be carried out. The com
mittees are determined that this shall be
the picnic Of the season.

Married or Not Marrfoa.

1t is a misdemeaDor for a magistrate or
clergyman not to return an executed
m arriage license to the clerk of the
County Court within six months, yet
hundreds Of marriages are not Of record
in this city, owing to neglect. on the part
Of those celebrating the ceremony. This
neglect is apt to mix things no little and
may at some future time become an i'm
portant matter in disputes about property
when the question of legitimacy is
sprung. Mr.. 7. s. Mallory, of our city,
was married to Miss Kyle SHINES, No
vember 10, 1867, by Rev. Mr.. Barnett
Miller, in this city, and the latter gentle
mai received a twenty dollar gold
piece in consequence, but he failed
to return the marriage license, So, as
far as the records Of the County Court
proved, Mr.. Mallory was not married at
all, and in consequence of this discovery
Of the neglect Of the minister, Mr.. Nal
Tory has been writing all over the ccun-
try for over a year to discover his
whereabouts. A few weeks since he
found Mr.. Barnett Miller in Texas, and
at once sent him a duplicate marriage
license, which was signed and made a
matter ofrecOrd, and now an illuminated
copy Of the same, framed, hangs up in
Mr., Mallory parlor. We advise all old
citizens to visit the County Clerks office
and see whether or not their marriages
have been made a matter of record.

MERCHANTS, druggists, milliners, gro
GERS, confectioners, hatters and others
will all be greatly rejoiced, we know, to
learn that there has now been estab-
lished here upon q firm basis, a paper
box manufactory-the only one in the
whole South, Hitherto paper boxes Of
all kinds could not be purchased nearer
than Louisville or Cincinnati, and the
freight made them much more costly
than they should be. Price, Jones &
Co., the well-known printers and blank
book manufacturers, No. II Jefferson
street, have resolved to make this branch
Of industry a specially in their business,
and have accordingly purchased the
most improved modern machinery for
the purpose. They are prepared with
every facility to do the best work in this
line at Eastern figures, and the reputa-
ton they have achieved already, as
printers and makers Of blank books, is q
sufficient guarantee Of their ability to
give satisfaction. The trade in this city
have, almost without exception, gladly
promised their support to a home enter
prise which, whilst it will lower the cost
of paper boxes to the consumer, at the
same time promises to grow into proper
tons that will give employment to a
large number of hands. They inform
us that they have already received many
orders and have made arrangements to
extend their facilities if necessary to
answer all demands without delay.
