Katuki: Cacttic.—A wife in San Fran- ciaeo lately put in a petition for divorce in the court on the ground that her husband was a “confounded fooL” The court, who was an old bachelor, wouldn't admit the plea liecause every man would be liable to the ' same imputation who gets married. Robbing a CiruRcn.—Wc learn from the Charleston Courier that, on Sunday or Mon day night last, some scoundrel or scoundrels entered the English Lutheran 'church, at the comer of Arehdale and Clifford streets, and abstracted much of the gas piping from the choir, galleries, and even the sacred desk it self. » As Ingenious Dodge.—A special to the Tribune says an ingenious scheme for smug gling whisky from Canada into the United States has been detected. There were thirty- two women on board one railway train, bound to the United States, who held in their arms what at first appeared to be babies, com pletely wrapped up, with neat little feet ex posed to the gaze of passengers. Upon in vestigation, it was discovered that they were tin cans, fashioned after the similitude of ba bies, containing from three to five gallons of whisky. About thirty of the women were arrested, and over one hundred gallons of whisky secured. Reward fob the Assassinators.—It will be seen by the following order, from the president, that all claims for tho conspira tors must be handed in by the 7th of Janua ry. The rewards offered for Jacob Thomp son, Beverly Tucker, and others have been revoked: War Dep't, Aj’t. General's Office, \ Washington, Nov. 34, 1865. \ Ordered—Pint—That all persons claiming rewards for tho apprehension of John Wilkes Booth, Lewis Payne, G. A. Atzerott and David E Harold and Jeff. Davis, or either of them, are notified to filo their claims and proofs with tho adjutant-general for final ad judication by the special commission appoin ted to award and determine upon tho validi ty ofsuch claims before tho 1st of January next, after which time no claims will be re ceived. Second—Tho rewards offered for the arrest of Jacob Thompson, Beverly, Tucker, George >'. Sanders, William G. Clearly and John H. Surratt are revoked. By order of the PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES. E. D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant General Another Version of the Bulldog's At tack on Cape Haytien.—By the govern ment schooner Electric, which arrived from Inagua, Ac., yesterday, we learn that intelli gence had been received at Mathew Town that some of Gcfirard’s partizans having found their way to the British consulate in Cape Hayti, General Salnavc heard of it and sent a detachment of soldiers to demand their de livery by the British consul. He refused to give them up; whereupon the insurrection ists forcibly entered his house, seized the ref ugees, maltreated them and carried them off. The consul forwarded the particulars of this outrage to the commander of her majesty’s steamer Bulldog, who steamed to the moutn of the harbor and met the consul. General Salnave was then informed that if the pris oners were not delivered up in a few hours the city would lie shelled. The claim licing refused the Bulldog steamed full in and im- . mediately sunk two steamers lately captured from Geffrard’s party and the schooner Te- viot. She then opened fire upon the forts and city, but afterwards struck a shoal, dis abling a portion of her guns. Notwithstand ing this mishap, she kept up the fire for some time, until the officers and crew got off in boats, and, with the British [consul, were ta ken on board an American man-of-war for the purpose of being transferred to her maj esty’s ship Fawn, which was lying off Port-a- Platt. The Bulldog lost several men by the fire lrom the forts. The English were" leav ing the place. Previous to abandoning the Bulldog the captain set her on fire, and she was burnt to the water’s edge.—Nataau Guardian, Not. Iltf. Shocking Affair.—A Chicago dispatch, of the 25th ult., says: A fiendish murder was committed at Shcl- byvillc, in this State, on Wednesday last. On the afternoon of that <jay, Thomas SL Thorn ton, Jr., of the firm of W. F. Thornton & Sens, bonkers, walked into the clothing store of Max Dceman, and deliberately shot, with out any warning, Lieut George Tackett who was reading a newspaper at the time. Tack ett rose from his chair and staggered toward the door, when Thornton shot mm again, tho ball entering his shoulder. Tackett then ran out of the door into the street, followed by Thornton, who again shot him in the small of the back. This shot brought Tackett to the ground, and Thornton then walked up to the dying man and placed his revolver to his head and shot him again, the ball passing completely through his head. Thornton then walked to his banking house, mounted a horse and fled. Nothing has been heard of him since. Tackett expired in a few hours. A number of person^ were witnesses of the affair from the commencement of t>o shoot ing, but made no effort to interfere. It is stated that an old grudge existed between Thornton and Tackett, and growing ont of the latter's real or supposed familiarities with Thornton’s wife, but it was partially settled by Tackett agreeing to leave the place and not return. About two months since Tackett returned to Shelbyville, expressing a desire to go into business, and the tragedy recount ed was the result. The Hurricane at Grand Bahama.—A correspondent at Grand Bahama informs ns that that island was'visited with the gale which recently proved so disastrous to the shipping at Abaco, the Biminis, Ac The people of Grand Bahama aay that they have not experiencecUo severe,a hurricane for the last seventeen years. It commenced with them on the morning of the 23d of October, ;.r.d continued about eighteen hour , r-.u-inu a total loss of the crops throughout the island. Our correspondent adds, “the amount of suf fering which will be felt in this land will be great, unless some relief is sent from the gov. eminent.”—2iauau Guardian, 15tt. Canadian Adairs. JFrom the Cimadlan correspondence of the New Yclft Herald, dated Montreal, 'Novem ber 23d, we take the following r The first sitting of the executive council took place at Ottawa city yesterday. This initiates government at the new capital. Up to the 21st instant the council sat in the St. Lawrence Hall of this city. Two of the men arrested for kidnapping Sanders, Blossom and Clayton, were admitted to bail yesterday by Jndge Badglcy. in the sum of $1,200 each, and two sureties for each of $000. The military ardor of the young men here and the excitement of the Fenian movement arc dying out. No more volunteer militia is to be sent to the frontier, and the young braves will pass the winter by their own fire sides, instead of in bivouac or in barrack, unless the Fenians avail themselves of the icc to cross the St. Lawrence at some point or points between this and Prescott, C. W. The meeting in New York of French Can adians has agitated the Rouge 1 party here, and their organs, Le Pays and Le Courrier du Canada, have begun a series of attacks on English domination, <£c. These attacks, coming at this moment, will increase the troubles of this country; and, if the United States wish to sea the sins of the parent vis ited on the head of the son, the wish will likely be realized in some-degree this winter. If England is guilty of many sins committed during the United States, time of trouble it can now be made to do severe penance. Already the transport of troops from point to point in Canada has cost a large sum of money, and duringthe winterit wifi cost still more. In fact, the English officials will be kept in a state of -worry tor at least six months to come, at which you can laugh, as the English did in your time of trouble. A heavy snow stormhas been raging on tho lower St Lawrence, and the steamer from Quebec was in great peril of being lost. All night she lay at anchor, rolling and straining. She tore out the cable pipe and broke the fluke of one anchor. Had not the anchor held, the steamer wdhld have gono ashore. Tho passengers suffered veiy much all night, and were in constant fear of being lost. John Bull Displeased.—-The release of John Mitchell is not liked in England. The London Star, which has always Veen most friendly to the Union cause, 6ajs: We feel it to be on act of uakindness 'to this country, an encouragement to the Fenian disturbers of the peace, and a proceeding calculated to make us less confident iu the interfifrence of the United States government with .the fitting out of privateers, or any war like expedition upon which these foolish peo- plo may embark to gratify their hostility or their vanity. As the openly avowed object of the organization of Irishmen which solic ited Mitchell's release was to promote hostil ities against England, the proper coarse for the chief magistrate of a fnendly power was either to refuse to recognize them at all, or to show his entire disapprobation of their organization and its aims. The exigencies of the political situation may make it desira ble to secure the support of the Irish element to the administration; the industriously cir culated story that Mr. Seward had given the information to the British government which led to the arrest of the Fenian pioneers, may require to he put down by an executive act of a different tendency; but no thoroughly friendly government would, for objects such as these, run the risk of offending a great na tion by consorting on terms of amity with its bitterest enemies. The Postmaster General’s Report.—A dispatch from Washington, of the 25th ult., thus refers to the forthcoming report of Post master General Dennison: “The proof sheets of the report of the post master general are now undergoing revision, and he expects to be able to place a copy on the desk of each member of Congress on the first day of the session. Among other inter esting matters, the report will recommend several important changes in the postal money order system. Mr. Dennison proposes to make the compensation of postmasters of money order offices uniform in proportion to the amount of business done, by substituting fees for clerk hire in the larger offices, to ex act no fees on duplicates issued in place of or ders lost or destroyed, and to extend the limit of the amount which may be sent by a single order to one hundred dollars, expecting by these changes to make the Money Order Bu reau a source of revenue to the Government, as well as a convenience to the people. The English money order system, by the report of its chief, quoted by Mr. Dennison, has almost superceded ail other channels for he transaction of exchange by mail. Jail Delivery.—Tuesday night, during ‘the wee sma’ hours,’ some one outside, doubt less, furnished the inmates of the county jail with implements by which nine of the pre cious rascals confined in that institution, made their escape. The modut operand i, as detail ed to us by Assistant Marshal Lanier, was, that after boring across the width of two planks of the floor, and the end of one of the sills, the dirt was removed, thereby forming an aperture large enough for ono man at a time to pass through. Efforts are being made to recapture them, butuptothis time have proved fruitless. They were confined for va rious offenses, such as house-breaking, petit larceny, and such pleasant little, jokes.—At lanta Era, 30 th ult. Loss of the Ship Benjamin Adams.—The ship Benjamin Adams, commanded by Capt F. J. Chase, sailed from Beaufort, N. C„ on the 18th ult, and encountered the terrific gales which swept onr coast and destroyed many valuable vessels between the 18th and 26th of October. On the 23d the Benjamin Adams was wrecked on Spanish Key, Abaco, and the second officer and ten of the crew, including Charles T. Chase, a nephew of the captain, found a watery grave. Capt Chase ana his wife were saved. The vessel was a total loss. ^ Pigeon Shooting.—Mr. Hartshorn, of Brooklyn, and Mr. Payne, of New York, shot a match at pigeons on the afternoon of the 24th, at Greenville. New Jersey. The match was for $200, twenty-one bids each, one and a half ounce shot, twenty-one vard3 rise and eighty yards boundary; There was a very iarge'attendance of connoisseurs of this kind of sport and the shooting was very satisfac tory. Mr. Hartshorn won by killing seven teen birds to Sir. Payne's sixteen. yy To find out what's up,” inquire the price of butter, eggs and meat That's what’s” «*■" - E. M.
