Their horses, ammunition and arms are in a very fair condition, but their ammuni tion is scarce. Tho oommisaary is abundant, except ooffee. General Sbaler, of the New York fire department, inspeoted tbe burned por? tion of Boston, and says the fire was in oonsequenoe of the delay of the firemen to reach the scene, the' narrowness of the streets, which prevented effective work, and the great heat. He agrees with the Boston chief, that the explo? sion of buildings by gnnpowder tends to spread a conflagration. He assuros the people of thiB city that there is no like? lihood of a similar calamity befalling them. A secret meeting of underwriters adopted the rates of 1870, which is an advance on the present rates of 10.15 per cent. The subject of Mansard roofs was referred to a special committee.

A barber is on trial in San Francisco for killing a woman because she refused to marry him. This was a barbarous piece of business; but if a woman can shoot a man because he refuses to leave off loving his wife, what may a man do to a womun who refuses to love him? This is a puzzle to a San Francisco jury, aud their stupidity will doubtless be equal to the occasion. Owing to the fact that tbe cemeteries of Pere la Chaise and Mont Parnasso are full, it is thought that the .lead of tho French capital will henceforth be buried in the plain of Sutory, where so many executions of Communists havo taken place within tho past year and a half. Mrs. Harriot Boeaher Stowe is editing a "Library of Famous Fiction," which is to embrace in a single volume "Tho Pilgrim's Progress," "Ilobiusou Cru? soe," "Gulliver's Travels," "Vathok," and five other of the masterpieces of English imaginative literature. For a frank man commend us to tho gentleman iu Springfield, Mass., who announces that the fire iu his block, tho other day, was so clearly duo to his no gligence, that he does not intend to call on the insurance companies to make good his loss.

Neason, and daughter of Mr. Willis Spann, died at Snmter on the 1st inst., I after a protracted and painful illness. A Question fob Gramm.vbIan a.?The Hudson Register deals humorously with a question of grammar as follows: A searcher after truths writes to ask us whioh is grammatically correct, to say "the hoase is building," or "the house is being built," "tbo street is paving," or "the street is being paved?*' There is a wide diversity of opinion upon this subject; but we inoline to favor "is being built," for the following reasons: Sup? pose yon wish to express another kind of an idea, would you say, for instance, ?'Johnny is spanking," or "Johuuy is being spanked?" The difference to you may seem immaterial, but it be a matter of oousidorablo importance to Johnny; and it is probable that, if any choioo were given him, he would suddouiy select the former alternative. Yon say again that the "missionary is eating." Cer? tainly this expresses a very diflerout and muu'u pleasauter idea than the form: "Tho missionary is being eaten;" and tbo sensation is very different for the missionary, too. We have consulted several missionaries about it, and they all seem to think that the two things are somehow not tho same, no matter what the grammariaus say. But it is to bo confessed that there are occasions when tho difference ia the form is not bo marked. You assert, we say, that "Hanuah is hugging"?which, by tho way, wonld bo a very improper thing for Hannah to do; it would be positively scandalous, indeed. Precisely a similar idea is conveyed if you say, "Hannah iB being hugged," beoausoitis a peculiarity of the act that it is hardly ever one-Bided; there is no selfishness about it. Aud it is the same with kiss? ing. "Jano is kissing"?and her mother ought to know it, if she is?is just ex? actly as if we should say, "Juno is being kissed;" aud the sensation is the same, although uoue of the grammars, by a singular inadvertence, mentiou the fact. It will not be necessary, however, for our correspondent to attompt to prove these last meutioued fuels by practice. Ho must take our word for them. Unless ho does so, we shall answer no more questions in syntax for Uim or uny one else. Our duty is to conserve the morals of the community, not to start people to playing private gnmeB of Copenhagen. Eugene Lagravo, the alleged swiudler and confideuce man, who recently ur lived in New York from France, where he was arrested by au American detec? tive as a fugitive from justice, is ono of the most accomplished rogues in his pe? culiar lino on record. Ho is charged with swindling leading dry good-, firms of New York to tho amount of ?600,000. For ono year ho operated at tho expense of these firms without exciting their sus? picion, and was thas onabled to amass the vast amount meutiouod, or its value in goods. Lagrave has been twico mar? ried to respectable young women in New York, und both his wivoa obtained divorces from him. When, a few months ago, Lagrave's business crimes were dis? covered, he fled to Canada, and theace to Europe, whero he took up his residence at Iiagneres, iu South Franco, where he was finally arrested by the detective who was sent in pursuit of him. Ho wad ac? companied iu his flight by a woman, the wife of a rich lawyer of New York. This woman was originally an adopted daugh? ter of the famous opera singer M'ino Lagrange, uud was, before marriage, a pianist iu a traveling coucert company. When Lagravo was arrested, this woman remained in France. Lagravo is not more than thirty-three years old, and is described as a person of decent, al? though dissipated, appearance, who dresses in tho height of fashion, with a brown velvet coat, aud with what might be called a jaunty air. He is now in jail in default of 840,000 bail, and, ia Cali fornia parlance, may bo said to have "petered out" and "touched bottom" in his capacity as a gentleman who does business on tho confidential principle. Outrage im Salisbury.?Do Witter, the Greeley orator, was most outrage? ously treated in Salisbury, on the night before election, and again Saturday nigbt. Ho was not allowed to speak; his room was broken into by a party of negro men, who bent him with sticks; tbo room he slept iu was rocked at night; ho was openly attacked on tho streets, and had to defend himself with his pis? tol; and during his stay in Salisbury, he dared not walk tho streets at night, for fear of his life. Saturday night, so our informant status, a fuss betweeu the whites and blacks occurred, growing out of attacks upon DeWitter. in which sticks and brick-bats wero freely used, resulting iu the severe wounding of seve? ral white men. ? Charlotte Observer. A New MoxsruosiTY.?Chatham, Va., bears off tho palm. It claims a mouth old infant with two eyes in their proper places, and tivu more on its knees. It is otherwise perfectly formed, except in such trilling details as having its legs twisted backward, and turned spirally liko a ram's horn, its tongue split into nt the point liko a snake's, and its thumbs ou tho wrong side of tbo hands. This beats tbe five-logged calf and two headed sheep all hollow. It is a colored child, and is iu excellent health. When it grows to man's estate it will appreciate the luxury of having seven eyos. What a pleasant sonsatiou it must be to wink at one's swoothoart with ono's knees. A MuBDEIt in Picken?.?It is stated that on Friday eveuing, tho 8th inbt., B. M. Hughes, a while man, who lived iu Pickous, about throo miles from tbo Court House, whilo ou his way to tho cotton gin, was murdered by Julius Dur? ham, a neighbor. Liquor is behoved to havo been the cause. At Newton, Kan., Friday last, Justice Holliduy was shot dead by a desperado named .Michael Fitzpatrick. Marshal Johnson attempted to arrest Fitzpntrick, when the lattor drew a revolver and de? fied bim. Johnson shot tho outlaw dead. HoNXY bt tbs ToN?THE labgest Bbe-htvh in thb WoitLD?In Loa An gelos County, od the E vetern slope of the Sau Francisco runge of mountains, and in the immediate vicinity of the Learning Petroleum Company's oil re? gion, there-is the most wonderful oolleo tiou of wild honey in existence. The hive is located in a rift, which pene? trates the rock to tbe depth probably of 1G0 feet. The orifice is thirty feet long and seventeen feet wido; four passages. The rift was discovered to be the abid? ing plaoe of a swarm of bees that is rep? resented as coming out iu a nearly solid column one foot in diameter. Certain parties have endeavorod to desoend to the immenso store of honey collected by these bees, but ewere invariably driven back, and one man lost his life in tho effort. Others have, at the expense of muoh labor and money, built a scaffold 125 feet high in the hope of reaohing a plaoe whenoe they could run a drift into tbe rook, and extract its well-hoard? ed sweets, but finally oeased their work. Within four years, the bees have added not less than fifteen feet of depth to their treasure, as ascertained by actual measurement, and it is thought that at tho present time there oannot be less than eight or ten tons of honey in the rook. A man named D. Brophy lives in a oabin?not far from tbe spot, and ob? tained from the melting of the honey by the sun's heat more tban enongh for his family requirements. All through that region, immenso stores of wild honey are found in trees, in the rocks, in nearly every place where its industrious manu? facturers think of?for bees seem to think?that it is Becaro. They consume a very small proportion, as the climate enables them to keep np operations nearly every day in the year, and flowers of some sort are always in bloom. It must be a very severe season indeed when the little follows are not seen abroad in vast numbers, busily engaged in their mellifluous work. [Sun Francisco Commercial Herald. Poisoning from Green Wall Paper. A lady in Western Massachusetts, last summer, wns taken sick, suffering from prostration and general nausea. The physician, failing to discover any cause, dually suspected that it might bo from the green wall paper of her room. Sho was romuved to another room, and im? mediately reaovered, which led to an analysis by the State chemist, at Here? ford, of tho wall paper, which resulted in the discovery that every square foot of this ltiuooeiit-luoking paper contained an amount of thu poiaou equivalent to five grains of the nrsenious acid, or double the fatal dose for an adult person. This, in the moist warm weather of lust July and August, was amply sufficient to keep tho nir of a room constantly im? pregnated with tho poison, aud any per? son occupying such a room would be as certainly poisoned as though the arsenic had been taken into the stomach. An Enthusiastic Grant Man Blown to Death.?At Hazardville. Conn., on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Daniel Bates, the sexton of the church there, while firing a salute for Grant, was killed by a premature discharge of the cannon. He was literally blown to pieces at tho can? non's mouth. Ono arm was torn off at tho shoulder, the other was toru off at the elbow; ono oye was blown out of the socket, aud the faoo was terribly dis? figured. Blaokened and insensible, tho poor fellow was picked up and taken to his boarding house, where he lingered till evening. .? Another Shooting Affair.?Wednes? day, the 5th iust., Robert Geddings and Lawrence Lackey, residing near the Clarendon line, iu the lower part of this County, wore fired upon by unknown parties, while they were sitting in their own houses, and both wounded, whether seriously or not we have not yet heard. We have heard no reason, real or sup? posed, assigned for this extraordinary proceeding. It is a strange and appa? rently high-handed ocourrenoo. [Sumter News. Sudden Death.?On tho night of Oc? tober 31, Mr. R. T. Rainey, a student of Emory College, died suddenly, about 10 o'clock, after having retired in usual health.

He started ou the 21st of July last, and under date of Oc? tober 12, writes from Tallahassee, having accomplished tho whole journey in ten weeks, with no other aid than his lego. Ho says: "I soourod the object for which 1 started?tho restoration of my health." African Colonization.?Jaoob De Witter, tho colored orator who spoke in Charlotte, N. O, some time ago, is about to set out on a lecturing tour through tho South, tho object of which is to per? suade the negroes to otrtigrute to Africa, which ho thinks is a far more oongenial olimo for thorn to dwell iu than their present habitations. Au ingenious improvement in tho con? struction of cottou gins consists iu the appliances of an air exhaust, which fa? cilitates tho fecdiug of the cotton to the rollers, and an air draught for removing tho cotton from tho rollers, which it dooti most effectively, thus dispensing with the U90 of brushes or other dovioes for that purposo. There is more feed, for congratulation in tho latest reports of the conflagration in' Boston than could have been hoped for from the first despatches. The losses are estimated at from $80,000,000 to $90,000,000, and the insurance at from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. The fire was entirely under control by 3 P. M. yesterday. The burned distriot is bounded by Summer, Broad, Central, Federal, Water and Washington streets, and the three branches of business which suffered chiefly are the wool, the dry goods and the eboe and leather. The Old South Churoh and tho new post office building, which it was sup? posed impossible to save, havo escaped with but little injury. The Transcript and Pilot offices have been destroyed; the offices of the Post are badly damaged, but all the hotels, theatres .and public buildings are uutouohed. Largely-at? tended meetings were held in Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, and other cities to provide plans for the relief ot the sufferers. The total num? ber ot buildings consumed is abont 700, and at least one-half of them have been erected within the past five years. Morganatic marriages are quite com? mon among the princes of German royal families.
