on Friday, the Doth of March, "the large,
three-story manufacturing establishment
belonging to Mr.. G.. P. Hutton, of Golfers
town, took fire while the men were at din
ner, and was entirely destroyed. The fire
was accidental, and was supposed to have
originated from spark on the roof. The
wind was high, and other surrounding
property was much endanged, particularly

loss was about So, 500. insured in the Rock
bridge Mutual for $1,000. The property
consisted of a cabinet makers shop, mill,

GEN. FITz LEE Alexandria Gazette,
Mach goth. AS stated in the Gdzette's
Washington correspondence Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee called upon the President yesterday
1t was his second visit to the White House
since the war. During Grants second ad-
ninistratiou he visited the White House
with his blide and was shown through the
building. As he Was bout to enter the
Presil nt's office yesterday morning he
stopped to give Charley Lot ffler, TIN Presi-
dents doorkeeper, a warm greeting. Loeffier
served under him in Texas during the In
dian war, and when Gen. Lee was severely
wounded, carefully nursed him back to
health again
That his visit was displeasing to the
''strictlv loyar' appears from the following
taken from the Republican:
''Did you observe what a sensation was
caused by the arrival of Fitzhugh Lee at
the White House today" asked an official
of that establishment yesterday "People
rush around to get look at him, as if it
had been old Bob himself got back to town.
1t was given ont with great significance
that it was the second time Fitzhugh had
been in the White House since the war, as
if that, amounted to anything. The fact
only goes to show that, though the rebel
lion is crushed, the Lees are the McGrcgors
of this latitude. Their feet are on their
native heath once again."

the assistance of a band of half es-
ttblished at Fort Garry an Independent
government which at the end of some
months, was suppressed by troops from
Canada under command of Colonel (now
Lord) Wolseley has again melted the half
breeds to instruction. According to the
latest accounts he has fifteen hundred men
under arms, has driven the border police
from some of the northwestern Outposts,
and is endeavoring to get the Indians, of
whom there are fifteen thousand in the
Saskatchewan country, to support the
movement. AleadF an engagement is re-
ported to have occurred near DHck Lake
between the insurrectionists and detach
of police and volunteers, in which the lat
ter were defeated, losing in killed alone
thirty of their number. This news has
created intense excitement throughout
Canada, and troops from Ottawa, Montreal.
Kingston and other places are being push
ed forward to put down the Instruction.
Within Manitoba itself volunteers are arm
ing to go to the front, and there would be
no doubt that the rising of Reil and his
half breeds would speedily be suppressed if
it were certain that the Indian tribes,
which have shown signs of disaffection,
would not join Rel in his resistance to the
government.

CARDINAL MCCABE died at Kingston,
Ireland, on the 10th of Inflammation of the
bowels.
AFTER the counting of the electoral votes
in the House on the 18th, Senator Edmunds
said: "And the President of the Senate
makes this declaration only as a public
statement in the presence of the two
Houses of Congress of the papers opened
and read on this occasion, and as not pos
sessing any authority in law to declare
any legal conclusion whatever" This
declaration gave rise to much comment,
several Senators expressing very decided
dissent. The votes showed 219 for Cleve-
land and Hendricks and Isl for Blaine and
Logan.
THE Government failed to prosecute the
Oklahoma "boomers," who were taken to
Washington for trial. Captain Couch and
his companions were therefore discharged.
The result was considered a great victory
for the boomers"
