About three o'clock this morning
three houses wero burned in Fort
Pickering, two belonging to NJ. O'Neil
and one to Mr.. Stratman. A cottage
next to the latter was occupied by Peter
Stein, who lost two children with fe.
yer early in the summer. The fire en-
gines repaired to the scene, but owing
to the lack of water but little service
was performed. A portion of the
property is believed to have been in
sured in the Darlington Mason agen-
cies. The Stratman house was used
as a store, contained a general assort-
ment of groceries, dry goods and other
stuff, the proprietor being away from
the city. The property was cared for
by two colored men, and it is believed
the place was plundered before it was
set on fire. The houses destroyed we're
on Fifth street, between Carolina and
Broadway. No part of the buildings
were saved from S~tratman's house up
to the house of Mr.. Green.

II prsosdss the Festival of All Saints.

This, the last evening of Octo-
Der, is all Halloween, when any
young maiden who is DESTROYS of see
ing her future husband must, as the
clock strikes the midnight hour, 60
alone and backward down the cellar
stairs, holding a lighted candle and a
h~and-glass, and eating an apple.
What peculiar charm the nocturnal
repast possesses over the spiritual
world we are unable to tell, but tradi-
ton says that after descending the
last step, and as the last stroke of
twelve dies away, the courageous mai
den viii be rewarded by the reflection
in the glass Of the face of the hus-
band fate has in store for her, who
will peep slyly over her shoulder,
The custom of this observance
has been extensively practiced for
several generations in the. east
ern portion of this country and
Europe though it has been gradually
falling into disuse for a number Of
years past. Tomorrow is the festival
of All Saints, an observance which
takes its origin from the conversion
in the seventh century of the Pan
theon at Rome into a Christian place
of worship and its dedication by Pope
Boniface Nv to the virgin and the
martyrs. The festival is observed by
both the Roman and the Anglican
churches and the beautiful custom Of
visiting and decorating the graves Of
the dead is one of its symbolic fea-
lures. Death and sorrow are the
common lot of humanity, and to all
Of Us, the memory of loved ones we
have lost, like the memory Of joys
that are past, is pleasant and mourn
full to the soul. The day is full Of
religious ceremonies among devout
people, practiced as an eloquent ex-
preston of that faith which robs the
grave Of visitors and takes the sting
from death.
