New York, Feb. THE Herald
says: VIM. II. Vanderbilt gave his
check to Commander Gorringe on
Saturday for the total cost for the
the transfer of the Alexandrian obelisk
from the banks of the Nile to the banks
of the Hudson. There are several con-
lectures as to the amount but as the
commander has not drawn his cash, and
declines to disclose what he views as
Vanderbilt's business, curiosity is all at
sea. 1t is known that $4,000 was to
be paid for taking the monolith down
in Alexandria and setting it up in this
city, but it is said that the transit was
not included, and this cost $50, 900.
Gorringe's work in Central park is
flushed, with the exception of putting
in the two metallic dogs that originally
upheld the obelisk. These are in the
hands of an engraver who will carve
the date of transfer from Egypt to
America.

Figures.
Halifax, Feb. 7.-Prof. Hind, in
another letter to the governor general,
says that he first pointed out the falsi-
fed figures on the fishery matter to Sir
Leonard Tilley, who was then in 1878
privy counsellor. He said, with appa-
rent emotion, that he would never for
get the services Prof. Hind had rem
dered in exposing the fraud. He next
visited Venning, fishery agent for New
Brunswick, who gave him a written
acknowledgment for service rendered,
and exclaimed on seeing the figures:
Cooked, by God" These frauds were
conceived in II. Tilley attested them,
and is responsible for them. although
he may not have known of the frauds;
but as to the fact that they are frauds
there is no earthly doubt.

Fire Damages the Oldest Groeery
House In Napoleon.

House I'm Napoleon.
At 2.45 o'clockThursday morning last the
alarm Of fire was given, occasioned by fire
being discovered in the grocery store OF
Cary & Co. The clerk, who sleeps above
the store, was the first to discover the fire,
which at the time OF discovery had made
such headway that he was compelled TO es-
cape from the second story window by
means OF rope. The fire department aud
citizens were promptly on hand, and, con-
sidering the coldness of the night, water
was thrown upon the flames In an incred-
itably short pace OF time. The steam en-
gine never worked better, and the fire de-
partment are to be con,plimented for the
work done upon the occasion. The fire
was kept down by keeping the front and
rear doors and windows closed until the
firemen were ready to throw stream,
when the lower room was completely del
uged with water, and in one haIf hour af-
ter first water was thrown the fire was un-
der control and all danger to surrounding
business houses was over.
None of the stock was removed from the
building, and after the flames were sub
dued it presented n sad and dilapidated
conditions; what the flames and smoke did
not destroy or damage, water did, so that
the entire stock we might say was COM
plete wreck. The origin of the fire is not
definitely known.
Messrs. Cary & Co. were insured on
stock 81 900, in the following companies
Aetna, Conn.,, $1,000; Springfield, Mass,
g.. 900; and ON building $1,000, divided in
the following companies Girard, Phila-
delphia, $1,000; Franklin, Philadelphia,
81 800; Home, n Y, 81 800. Loss on stock

ing estimated at 81, ZOO. c + Reynolds re-
presented all of the above insurance, with
the exception ofthe Home, OF n y, which

1t is the intention OF the firm to have
the building repaired as soon as possible.
In the meantime they will occupy their
warehouse, Immediately back of the dam
aged building, and conduct business there
until the,old quarters are repaired.

Ed. NORTHWEST Having recently re-

notice that certain damaging reports were

g., 500 to $500. Also, a report that had
sold note to Ward Bros, Columbus, o.,

this, the earliest opportunity, of declaring
these reports to be false; and the last one

We notice that the Public Schools in
many towns and cities have inaugurated
the custom of having monthly receptions
for the parents and visitors, at which the
pupils have essays, poems, dialogues, bio
graphical sketches, arguments, discus
sions, etc. The custom seems to be popu
lar one and might be inaugurated in our
schools,
