1NCENDIARIsM AT ROCK HILL.

On Friday night last the barn of DR.. t. C.. Rob-
ertson, of Rock Hill, was destroyed by fire. In
the barr were two wagon loads of fodder, and
the crop, in the sheaf, of Is acres of rust proof
OATS estimated at about 270 bushels, harness, and
other articles, which were burnt; and in the
stables connected with the barn were eight head
of horses-some of them valuable animals. For
tunately they were saved. The fire originated in
the loft, and the supposition is that it was the
work of an incendiary.
On the following night an attempt was made to
burn the guano warehouse of j. r. London,
which is attached to, and part in fact, Of the
depot building. Fortunately this attempt was
discovered in time to prevent damaging progress
of the flames and the discovery revealed the fact
that the timbers of the house had been saturated
with kerosene, placing it beyond doubt that this
was also an incendiary attempt.

the bow leapcd down into the yielding
marsh, and clambered Up to dry land.
Those at the stern jumped overheard
and swan to the beach or we're picked
up By the small boats that came from
the New York shore or Randall's Island.
I do not recollect clearly how I got
ashore, but soon found myself in the
kindly hands of the doctors from Ran
dall's Island"
A fireman on the boat offers the only
explanation that has been advanced of
the cause of the disaster. He says:
When 1 left Wards Island in the even
ing the &aaoanhdka had burned down to
the waters edge. You could stand up
in row boat and look right down into
her. Nothing is left but her keelson
and few bottom timbers, braces, &c.
Her smokestack and engines are still
standing. can in no way account for
the fire except by guess work. The
engineer and firemen were always very
particular to see that no inhammable stuff
lay about. Engines and boilers were
considered in excellent condition. The
only way I account for it is the posi-
bility that Aue blew out, opening the
furnace door, and scattering the fire
considerable distance around. The
slight noise / heard may have been
flue bursting. l am certain the boiler
did not burst. think two thirds of the
passengers must have jumped over be-
fore she beached."

NIAGARA FALLS DRY.-"The Falls
of Niagara were dry for a whole day."
said the Rev. DR.. T. B. Fuller, OF
Hamilton, Ontario, in recent lecture.
The accuracy of the story was questioned,
and now the clergyman publishes the
Sworn statements of several persons that
they saw the phenomenon. They say
that it occurred on March 81, lS4S. At
5 o'clock in the morning so little water
was dribbling over, that man and his
daughter walked half way across from the
Canadian shore, near the edge of the
precipice. The girl stuck pole into a
Gevice of the rock and left handker-
chief flying from the top. Not content
with this feat, they wenthalfa mile above
the fall, and rode part way across the
bed Of the river in wagon. Others did
similar things. The jagged rocks at
the bottom below the falls were exposed.
This strange condition lasted until night
fall, when the stream began rapidly to
swell, and before morning was as large
as usual. DR.. Fullers theory is as fol-
lows: "The wind had been blowing down
Lake Erie, which is only about 80 feet
deep, and rushing great deal of water
from it over the falls; it then Suddenly
changed, and blew this little water (com-
paratively speakiug) up to the western
portion of the lake; at this juncture the
ice on Lake Erie, which had been broken
up by these high winds, got jammed in
the river between Buffalo and the Cana
da side and formed a dam which kept
back the waters of Lake Erie"

MApAGAscAR WrDows.-Upon

MADAGASCAR WIDows.-Upon the
death of any man of position or wealth,
on the day of the funeral the wife
is placed in the house, dressed in all
her best clothes, and covered with her
silver ornaments, of which the Sihanaka
wear considerable quantity. There she
remains until the rest of the family re-
turn home from the tomb. But as soon
as they enter the house they begin to
revile her with most abusive language,
telling her that her winiana or her fate
has been stronger than that of her hus-
band, and that she is virtually the cause
of his death. Then they strip her of her
clothes, tearing off with violence the or
naments from her ears and neck and
arms they give her a coarse cloth, a
spoon with broken handle, and a dish
with the foot broken of, with which to
eat; her hair is dishevelled, and she is
covered up with coarse mat, and under
that she remains all day long, and can
only leave it at night; and she may not
speak to any one who goes into the house.
She is not allowed to wash her face or
hands, but only the tips of her fingers.
She endures all this sometimes fora year,
or at least for eight months; and even
when this was over her time of mourning
is not ended for considerable period !;
for she is not allowed to 60 home to her
own relations until she has been first di-
vorced by her husbands family.

BROTHER. broke out at s o'clock
this morning on the top floor of the five.
story tenement house, No. 968 Third
avenue. The floor is occupied by two
tenants, Henry Seib and Jeremiah Nor
rissey. The fire was in the Morrissey
family's apartments, but quickly seized
upon the partitions and extended to the
adjoining room. The Seib family made
their escape without difficulty the Nor
risseys with more haste, but safely. But
in the confusion of the first fright q baby
was forgotten lying On the floor of Mrs.
Morrissey's kitchen. The room was
ablaze with fire on all sides, and tongues
of flames reached out many feet from the
doorway, playing about the entrance,
when Oswald Morrissey, the 12-year old
brother of the imprisoned child, rushing
back through the hallway sprang into
the fiery gap and seizing the child car
ried it out in his arms. Not unscathed
though in his retreat; his clothing
caught fire, and before the remedy of
rolling him in a blanket proved effectual
he was badly burned on the back and
limbs. The baby, from the first uncon.
scious of any danger, was unhurt, and
crowed gleefully over the bright fire with
which the fremen now began to battle
and soon came off victors. The youthful
hero was taken to the Fifty-ninth Street
Dispensary, and after his wounds had
been dressed there he was sent home and
made comfortable in another tenants

where he may have made ten or fifty
gallons of whiskcy, and he is held up as

1t is useless, however, to complain Of

ing, and it will not be long before man
suspected of it will be regarded as the
enemy of a community which has suf-
fered so much by such sins as be is COM
mitting.
This country has been blessed in many
respects. Its magnificent scenery; its
fertile valleys, in which vegetation grows
with almost tropical luzuriance; its eli
mate, blessed with the ever fresh breath
of mountain breezes and beyond the reach
Of all epidemics, all combine to make its
future bright with promise. Its mineral
wealth can only be guessed by the results
of slight development. These justify the
opinion that there is not on this conti-
nent region richer in deposits of gold,
copper, and a dozen other precious Sc
crets of the soil. The people, as rule,
are kind, and as intelligent as the masses
of any population l have ever noticed.
There seems to he in their dealings sort
of primitive virtue which has long since
fed from more populous regions of the
State. They leave their doors open at
night, and sleep without the slightest
fear of theft. They are liberal in their
donations to all good causes among them,
and in the care for the unfortunate and
the ministry of every form of charity
they are singularly warm-hearted and
tender.

State Conventions have been refused ad-
mittance, although in most instances they
went there supported by a large majority
of the colored voters of the county.
This persistent opposition led him, in
1872, to bolt the convention, and place
an Independent State ticket in the field,
headed by Reuben Tomlinson for Gov
ernor. The machinery of election, how
ever, was in the hands of the opposing
faction, and Moses was declared elected.
Oflate years Bowen has not taken an
active part in the canvass; in fact, since
1876, he appears to have seen the inevi,
table fate of the party, and has devoted
himself solely to the task of keeping his
followers together for the county election
of 1880.
Having been left a widower by the
death of Mrs. Petigru-King-B Bowen in
1877, about year ago he married the
daughter of Ex-Governor Moses, who
accompanied him in his recent journey
North, and who was probably with him
when he died.

Hancock and the Republicans.

The following letter was handed to the
New York World by Mr.. Leonard W.
Jerome, of New York City, with request
for its publication;
"liajor- General Rancock-MY DEAR
GENERAL: take the earliest opportuni-
ty to congratulate you upon your nomi-
nation and to assure you, lifelong Wing
and Republican that ! am, of my most
hearty support. belong to very nu-
merous and very staunch old silver.gray
Republican family. With one solitary
exception, there never was one of them
known to vote the Democratic ticket, but
I venture 10 say they will to man vote
for you. They cannot consistently do
otherwise.
"You, sir, embody the views and SEN
timents in regard to the great questions
of the day that we have entertained since
the war closed. They are the same that
actuated General Grant when he laid
down those liberal terms of surrender to
General Lee. They are the same that
actuated my poor friend Raymond, when
he battled so manfully in the committee
of Congress against the savage policy Of
Thad Stevens. l believe General Grant
would support you to-day, did not the ex.
igencies of his situation forbid it. And
Henry J, Raymond, were he alive, would
support you too, unless the exigencies of
the New York Times restrained him. He
was compelled at an early day to smother
the sentiments he had expressed in the
address of the Philadelphia Convention,
to abandon his career in legislative halls
and to change the tone of the Times or,
as Mr.. Jones, our business manager and
partner, insisted, the paper would be
ruined. II believe I offered to pay the
damages at the time, but that was con-
sidered impracticable.) 1t was a bitter
pill, but it bad to be swallowed. Thad
Stevens had succeeded through Congress
which misrepresented the country in en-.
grating his policy upon the Republican
party. And though disgusted, it was
fastened upon them and there was no
way of getting rid of it. Thus for years
a vast number of us, good Republicans,
have been compelled to be helpless sup.
porters of policy we believe to be the
very worst that could be devised. An OPP
portunity is presented us now for the first
time with any show of success to vote 10
accordance with our convictions, and
1 am sure we shall do it most joyfully.
With great respect and esteem, believe
me yours faithfully,
LEONARD w. JEROME.

: The indepcndent Republicans

= The independent Republicans in
Garfeld's own Congressional District
declared in a set of resolutions, passed
in convention in 1876, "that there is no
man to-day officially connected with the
administration Of our National Govern
ment against whom are justly preferred
more and graver charges of corruption
than are publicly made and abundantly
sustained against James A. Garfield, the
present Representative of this Congress
ional District and the nominee of the
Republican Convention for reelection.
That since he first entered Congress to
this day there is scarcely an instance in
which rings and nlonopolies have been
arrayed against the interests of the peo-
pie that he has been found active in
speech or vote upon the side of the latter,
but in almost every case he has been the
ready champion of the rings and monop-
olies."
- There was once another remarkable
dog in San Antonio. 1t knew its mas
ter's step and his habits, and would never
bite him. His owner loved him, and
said he would not take $500 for him.
One night his owner came home perfectly
sober and three hours earlier than usual.
The dog, not having been notified of this
change in the programme. mistook him
for an intruder, and bit him in nineteen
places. Next day the owner had the dog
executed by policeman. All efforts to

clear case of mistaken identity, and
the dog had an unpracticed mind.-Gai.
