TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-A few days ago, the contractors commenced the erection of a briok stable on the North of Broad street, between Cumming and McKinnie streets, and just opposite Capt. G. W. Conway's Btables. The main briok walls bad been built high enough to allow the beams for the coiling to be laid aorosa them. These timbers-heavy ones were plaoed in position on the briok work, and the carpenters commenced erecting on the Northern end the rafters for the roof. Two or three of the rafters had been put up aud braced, and the men were still at work upon them, when suddenly the briok work npon whioh rested the first rafter gave way without a moment's warning, and the rafter fell to the ground, bringing the others with it. The heavy timbers fell in every direc? tion, and seven workmen were injured five of whom were white and two co? lored. The white men were Messrs. Peter McGrath, Thomas Vaughan, Sa? muel Radford and Mathew Costello. The oolored men were Jacob Hambright and Isaiah Williams. All of them were more or less hurt by the falling timbers -one, Williams, being only slightly in? jured. The others, we understand, are all badly mashed; and two of them, Mr. Mathew Costello and Jacob Hambright, are said to have received dangerous in? juries. Hambright was struck on the head and Mr. Costello on the spine. An eye-witnesa informed ns that four other men also narrowly escaped death. It appears that they were sitting near some benches and direotly in the line of the falling rafters, but, fortunately for them, the timbers struck the benches, and being thus protected, they escaped in? stant death.-Augusta Chronicle. P. returned a borrowed boise to tho owner with a note, saying: "I return by the bearer your Horse. Yon see I spell bim with a capital H, because he starts off so capitally;" and received in reply this: "HorsE all right; Ispell him with a capital E, beoause however capitally he may start off, ho comes to a stop with the greatest ease." A duel lately took place between an editor of the New Orleans Picayune and some one whom he had written abont. The bout was with shot-guns. One shot was fired on eaoh side. No blood drawn, and both parties deolared them? selves satisfied. A man, named MoDonald, who is be? lieved to be from Greenville, South Ca? rolina, died very suddenly, on the 6th instant, at the residence of Mr. Hays, in Kansas City. He was in destitute cir? cumstances. A nnmber of cigar manufacturers in New York have acceded to the demands of their workmen for an increase from one to five dollars on every 1,000. Seve? ral houses have suspended operation be? cause of tho demand. The result of the South Carolina elec? tion, according to the New Yolk Herald, caused an advance of one per oent. in tho new State bonds on Wednesday. The junk shop of Messrs. Falconer & Sou, iu Wilmington, N. G., was de? stroyed by fire on Saturday night last. Loss about $7,000. Mr. Seward's book of travels had been completed, and at the time of his death he was revising the last few pages. TRAGEDY Bi COOLIES IK C?BA.-The ?guioa plant awn of the Coaut of Fer? nandina, in Juba, hay again been tho scene of a bloody tragedy, seven China? men having attacked one Domingo Pi? loto with their hoes, and leaving him dying on the field. The Chinamuu were arrested, and immediately confessed the crime, alleging that the Piloto family had killed eleven of their number, and that they in defono J had killod a brother aod two cousins of Piloto within the past threo years. They also admitted that Domingo had sworn to kill fifty Chinamen for every member of bis fami? ly killed by them, and that be had whip? ped them without provocation. The Loudon Telegraph gives a vivid picture of the horrors of the under? ground railroads of that city. It speaks of "the incessant hurry at the subterra? nean stations, tho nerve-shaking slam? ming of every carriage door, the hideous yells of the engines, tho difficulty of dis? tinguishing one train from another, or of getting a coherent answer to a ques? tion from the fevered and inarticulate offioials," and says that "all these pecu? liarities, with the oppressive atmosphere aud spine convulsing way of putting on the brakes, render thu underground lines as terrible as they aro useful." Tho death of the Pope's elder brother, Guiaeppe Mastai, bas reminded Europe that the Pope himself completed his eightieth year on the 13th of last May. In the oourse of nature, the Oonoluve will soon be aallod upon to elect his suc? cessor, but where is the Conclavo to be held? It seems to be taken for granted that an independent session is impossi? ble in Rome; and Austrian Trent, Malta and Monaco aro spoken of, especially the latter, where the Conclave "could be protected by the combined fleets ot France and Austria." The Italian Liberals received Pore Hyacinthe's letter announcing his mar? riage with every imaginable weapon ol scorn and ridioule. The reason is thal they have no idea of a reformed church, considering that suoh a proposal ham? pers tho question at issue with neediest difficulties. Their object is to come tc an uuderstauding with the governing body of the church, and if the latte) will but undertake to leave politics alone, it may, for all the Italian Liberals caro, frame what dogmas it pleases. TOBACOO BrrrEN BY FROST.-A gentle man informs us that muoh of the grow lng crop of tobacco between Rich mom and Lynchburg has been bitten by fros and hopelessly ruined. In some looali ties entire crops have been destroyed and not a plant will be saved. Thi being the case in the Eastern portion o the State, we may conclude that thoa sands of pounds of tobacco ia the moan tains and in the South-western Countie have been rained by the frost.

Boyer was murdered i Montgomery County, Virginia, a fe days ago, by a young man named Davi Hall, who discharged 120 shot into h side, killing him instantly. Hall ah attempted to shoot and kill a woma named Pillows, who witnessed his crimi but was prevented by his gun failing 1 go off. Oa Tuesday last, in front of the cou house at Stanton, Va., E. M. Oashini auctioneer, sold $12,000 ia Confedera notes of denominations running from x to $100, for $2.50 lawful money of tl United States. Tho purchaser was Pr fessor Therry, from Frunce, who boag! them as a memento. The contractor and builder of tl building iu Louisville which fell ai killed five persons, have been arrest and held to bail on the charge of mu der. The excitement is on the i ncr eas and the people seem determined to ho the guilty parties responsible. Tho address of the Liberal Repub can State Committee of New York sa] "A contest is now forced upon us I tween money and manhood." This indeed, the pith ot the controvert Moro could not be expressed in as f words. In the State eleotions in Ootober, ISt the Radicals carried West Virgin Georgia, Ohio and Pennsylvania, a Indiana.

Tho muss was origiuntecl by the efforts of tho proprietor of the show to train a hippopotamus to rim around tho ring aud jump through hoops und barnier*, after the manner of trained pornos, the boss hoping, if successful, to make all rival establishments tako a back seat. For several days, this training bad been going on whenever the exhibition Stop? ped long enough in ouo place to afford a few leisure hours, but, up to the occasion referred to, the hippopotamus had ouly been allowed to perform in privat J, with his limbs pinioned by log chains, and a largo force of employees on hand with red-hot pitch-forks, pick? axes, crow-bars and bricks, to subdue him and keep him within bounds, should any symptoms of a rebellious spirit bs mauifostod. Everything was lovely, however; the Behemoth struck his gait admirably, and with such seem? ing good nature, that hts owners deter? mined to unshackle him for a sbort timo, and make him jump through paper bal? loons. The assistants stationed them? selves around the ring, a mammoth bal? loon was placed ia position, aud at tho word "go," the shackles were unloosed, and Bure enough he did go. Allowing his under lip to drop down liko that of a steam canal dredge when it expectorates a mouth-ful of mud, the hippopotamus gave a snort that reverberated through tho tent like thunder, and then plunged forward through the balloon, wrecking it in a very handsome manner, but un? fortunately killing the two mon who held it, and upsetting tho lions' cage, which contained four lions of unusual fierce COBB. The moment the overturned lions' cage caught the eye of tho hippo? potamus, he bounded at it and hit out a mouth-ful of woodwork and iron bars, leaving aa aperture through which the lions escaped, and at onao began to add their roars to the tumult that raged on all sides. The big elephant, "Hornet Greeley," who bad been quietly looking on hil this time, instead of keeping v. oheck on his trunk, began to waive it ic tho air, and, after a moment's trumpet ing, broke bis fastenings, and, picking up the Cardiff giant which lay upon th( ground near by, throw this unfortunate being olear across the tent, killing an other man in its passage and knocking in the end of a cage that contained t wild rhinoceros, who at ouco came out aud running his boru into the ground gave tho now affrighted showmen som* specimens of plowing that were neve equaled by human or steam power The four lions now began to lash thei tails in fury, and walk iu circlesaroun< the centro pole, up whioh several of tb showmen asceudod tho moment (he hip popotamus first bellowed. Tho latte animal was in the meantime divertini himself by a set to with a couple o grizzly bears that he had liberated. "Horace Greeley" seemed to gro\ more infuriated at this juncture, nm after killing a couple of camels, tame, bis attention to the other cages, an with one sweep of his trunk demolishe euch, the rhinoceros following bebin and completing the work. Fortuuatel the canvas was new and without a ll .iv and all the liberated animals were roan ing about tho euclosuro. Hyenas s neal ed around under the seats, bears growle from the upper benohes, moakej shrieked and chatted from tho rupee au supports, the air was filled with flyin cockatoos, parrots, eagles, owls au other birds, while ostriches roamed ( will below, and hore above all this ur. roar were the pitiful calls from tb seventeen men who clung for dear life t the centre pole, whioh was new au slippery and difficult to cling to. TL only animal that retained its presence < mind was Blarneyum's gorilla. H cage had escaped being upset, and stoo inside, beating his breast and roaring i that half dog bark and half leouine roi that Da Challiu|describes as "curd I ic the very hair on your head when heai in an African forest." By this tim however, voices wero heard on the ou aide, the entire neighborhood havit become aroused by tho paudomoninrj and the moment the gorilla heard the voices ho changed his tactics ai shrieked: "For the love of tho holy h Patriok, help me out of this scrap und Til never biro out for a'gorilla aga as long as I live." Wo will leave tl unhappy animal to his fate and retu to the awful Boones going on around c and among tho other wild beasts wi had now made their way to that portii of the tent used by the proprietors aa museum. Excited by rage and hunger Bengal tiger was tho first to attack t contents of the museum, and ho co monoed by killiag the "Temperate M and his Family," after whioh ho spra on the "Sleeping Beauty" and bogan devour her. The hyenas, who are i so particular ia regard to their di sprang upon tho "Drunkard and ! Wife," and were soon feasting on the Tho lions reveled in blood iu the ct containing the "Bell Bingers," while I elephant amused himself by kuocki the stu?iug out of tho "Egyptian Mu mies," and also destroying several p minent generals of the war. But wi these horrible scenes were boing onad here, others still more alarming w going on in tho main portion of tho te where nearly every animal who had i saooeeded in getting a tasto of "wax Aggers," stood with distended j; around tho contre polo, awaiting wi tho hold of some of tho unfortuni above Should become loosoned and victims come tumbling down. Tho f to drop was the ring-master, who loweat ou tho pole, lie struck aqnai iu tho open JAW of au alligator, t swallowed him wholo and without cb ing. This sight so frightened a "c vas" man, that he, too, fell, and tho i gator snapped at him, but too quid and tho victim bounded from tho tir tho crocodile's mouth iuto tho arms ( bear, who hugged him fondly and ried bim off under tho seats to eat at leisure. The elephant now reached with his trunk aud shook the centre ] as a boy shakes aa apple t roo for fi and this caused seven moro victims, in? cluding two very plump und juicy acro? bats, to drop off. Tho mun on top, how? ever, had by'this timo succeeded in guawing u bolo through the roof of the tent, through which he era led and slid down tho canvas to the gt juud, the re? mainder of the frightened mon quickly following his example, a. hook und lad? der company and two hose companies had arrived, and hole? being cut in tho canvas, several streams of chloroform were thrown upon the squirming mass of animal life within, and iu ten minutes the employees of the show had entered und began securing their charges. It took several hoare to repair all the cages and get the ooonpanta back to their old quarters, but it was at last accomplished, and preparations for the burial of the dead began. But we might add, that, by the next morning, the killed were all doing well, most of them having died regularly every season they entered into the show business. One man, ia particu? lar, who was swallowed by the alligator, recovered more rapidly than any of ti e others. His name is John Smith, and our readers will remember him as one of the band that was devoured by lions down in Mississippi, in 1871. He was killed previously at Chicago by tho mad elephant, and also had his head crushed into a shapeless mass by a lion which he was raw-hiding, which occarred during the lion-taming scene at Joliet, Illinois, in 1870. Ho was destroyed aguiu at Philadelphia, in the spring of 1872, when Forepuugh's animals broke loose; and his last death (previous to the one just related) occurred when a rhinoceros stepped on him at Bud Bud, Illinois, in Aucrust, 1872. Mr. Smith is still on deck with Mr. Blurueyum's great show, und can be seen with the other fossils and p?trifications at this plaoe next week. Bemember those are the same animals that broke loose and killed so many people. This fact alone should induce every husband to procure tickets for his wife and mother-in law and neighbor's ohildron. - Tilusville Herald. A Washington correspondent reveals a scheme which Secretary Boutwell has formed, doubtless upon the hope of re? taining his position of power. It is no? thing less than to play into the hands of bis Wall street friends, by putting into their hands the control of a plan for funding tho remainder of the bonded debt of tho Government at from 4@4?? per cent. If the old banks decline this, new bunks are to. be formed in all the States, and tho circulation transferred from tbe old banks ta them. If tho new banks comply and the old ones refuse, be thiuks the latter will have no cause to complain. There will be a sweet little sum ex? pended by tho Government in printiug this year. Since Congress adjoaraed, wu are told, the public printing office has turned out 750,000 octavo aud quarto volumes, varying from 300 pages to 600 pages each. 'There are 255,000 volumes on agriculture and the Hu Klux. Upon this tho Boston Post remarks: "No wonder Mr. Clapp officially favors gene? rous political assessments. He eau af? ford it, if his employees cannot." The revolt at Ferrol is now completely ended. The insurgents, eeoing no chauco of resistance,, took advantage of flight during the dark and stormy night. Some weut on board the ship they had seized aud sailed for Seijo, while others fled through the town under fire from the Government troops, and about 100 were captured. lu the morning the Go? vernment forces took undisputed pos? session of the fort, where they found 400 insurgents, and made them all prisoners. The Navy Department has received in? formation from the naval academy that there is no foundation for tho report of the assault on the colored cadet Con yers. Tho Superintendent has carried out the instructions of the Secretary not to allow any breach of disciplino, and it is believed that the report bf the assault so generally circulated from Annapolis was invented for political purposes. From the City Hall to Harlem ia twenty-five inimit?s seems now like an impossible achievement. But it is not, after all, suoh an extraordinary under? taking; and the plans of the steam city railway underground transit, as now per? fected, promise us this result inside of two years. Tho consummation is de? voutly wished and waited for by a crowd? ed city-full, anxious for cheap and quick transit.-New York Watchman. A hewly elected Squire io North Ca? rolina, having occasion the other day to porform tho marriage ceremony for the first time, got the affair considerably mixed, und wound up by saying: "Sutler little children to come unto them!"

FORREST THE ACTOR.-Edwin Forrest has abandoned the stage oh account of the physical pain incident to his dra? matic rote?, but has adopted the more easy profession of a public reader.
