A San Antonto (Texas) special of the 7th inst., says a series of bull fights were in- augurated there yesterday. A lioness and a wild Texas bull were matched in an im- mense iron cage in the middle of the amphitheatre seating 10,000. The bull gored the lioness fatally. Another lion was tofight a bull to-day. Six celebrated Mexican bull-fighters will appear in the arena. The thousands in attendance mani- fested much enthusiasm.
A Rar Birine Casze.—A gentleman resid- ing at the North End was awakened from a dream ot peace at an early hour yesterday morning by a sharp sensation on the top of his head.

He made an attempt to capture the rodent, but it ‘escaped.— Hye. Herald.

A TERRIBLE fire took place at Bath, New York, on Tuesday last. Stubden County Poor House was destroyed and fifteen of the inmates perished in the flames. The build- ing was fired by L. Ford, of Harnellsville, an inmate affected with fits, but considered trustworthy and allowed liberties. The Bath fire department arrived too late. The building was of brick, with iron grates, doors and windows and the inmates were unable to escape. Ford, David Curtiss, John Alvian, John Messenger, Buel Page, Betsey Smith, Julia Davis, Rosa Welch, Ang Ranger, Mary Stone, Chloe Mude ( wee , Ann Shultz, Catherine Sullivan, Jennie Mills, aged four, and Mary Hewitt, aged one, were burned. The details are blood curdling. One man was badly in- jured. Over forty were rescued. Several | escaped. The scene is sickening in the ex- treme.

HARPER'S HISTORY OF THE
THE following case of a preference for suicide to a scolding jade, took place in Ot- tawa on Tuesday last : A man named Thos. Hinchey, an old Police Court offender, who | resides on Gloucester Street, quarreled with his wife, and, after it was over, concluded that he would never have any more trouble with her in this sublunary sphere, being de- termined on self destruction. To this end, he secured a rope, and, after taking a glass of whiskey to give him nerve to accomplish the rash act, cooly sat down and arranged what he calls a hangman’s knot. He then put it over his head and walked to the top of the stairs, when he tied one end to the hannister and jumped over. His wife heard the fall, and, with a scream, rushed to his assistance. He was dangling in the air when she reached the stairs, and his face was perfectly black. She quickly caught hig legs and raised up his body, which caused the rope around his neck to loosen, and enabled him to recover consciousness. When he discovered, however, that his wife

that relating to gas. The bill for the last quar- ter’s consumption amounted to $1,463. By this and former bills it was said that the city is paying for more gas than ought to be, or 1s actually consumed. The Council appointed a committee to ask a modification of the Gas Company’s agreement, but’its efforts were not very successful.
An inspection of the lamps was made by the City Marshal a few days ago, By this inspec- tion it was discovered that the jet taps of the lamps—to which meters were attached—were turned on in full, while the taps of about one hundred and fifty of the lamps without metre were only turned on half or three-quarter
ways. This, itis said, was the fault of the me? lamplighter. In other lamps it was discov- Wants, Lest, Found, $2. | ered that the cross bars have or were broken.; —__ ers ee ee en ee oe A
