The Richmond Times, alwflys entertaining and instructive, pays a well-deserved tribute to the enterprise and conservatism of the great free city of New York. It says : The great city of New York has more brain, heart, patriotism and decency than can be found in .all the gutters of Radicalism north of the Potomac, There we find enlightened views and expensive sympathies prevailingr, which extend beyond 4h0^ citizen’s door-sfl,. and comprehend in their range not only tho kindred South, but the civilized people of all nation^ and climes. Foolish, narrow-minded Radicalism looks not beyond a day or night -of hate and passion, to be spent at some pro vincial town, t* at soifit'railroad Stfition. Bat the grand and comprehensive intellect of that conservatism which characterizes the city of New York overleaps the barriers of prejudice and grasps with foresighted pene tration the advancing truths of the future, years and years before they we apparent tb the bleared eyes and scattered senses of fa naticism. Hence it is that the city of New York has so wondronsly grown and pros pered despite that hate and jealousy which have frequently been meanly leveled at it by the fools' and fanatics who have at times got ten into power'fit Albany, a^d sought, like the great eagle, towering in his pride of strength. But wealth, brain, decency and refinement have been too potent for the Radical dogs and jackals to make’any impiession on the Queen City of the Western world, orto'rie-' nonsiy damage her interests. While the storm of madness and blind rage has swept. the provinces and minor cities of ihe Jfvrtb.f the city of New York has stood sterfilyand heroically unmoved amid the general deca dence of popular virtue and patriotism, a conspicuons monument of'unsullied repub'i- canisrn, when all around her have bowed the knee to false gods and listened to talse pro phets. Boston, hide-bound in its self- con ceit. purse-proud it its wealth, sinful in its self-righteousness, and ridiculous iu its pre tensions to superior wisdom and godliness, is simply contempt.ble when v e view her poli tically, socially and morally by the side of New York. Philadelphia, called by way of burlesque, “the city .of Brotherly Love,’’ in in tellect, dignity and decency is an odious pigmy by the side of the great Free City of lire Western hemisphere in all that dignifies and enohies the metropolis of a va t State. The world respects and honors New York; it laughs at aud despises the meanness, big otry aud fanaticism of Boston aud Philadel phia, which are no more than brawling, gos sipping little cross-road villages compared to toe liberal and whole-sould city which flings Wide her gates to the commerce and civiliza tion ol alt Christendom. In the- march of ideas, New York is a centaly ahead ot the two Radical cities to which we have alluded, .is- a sfirsarasteffi and villages, Boston and Pniladelphia ought to be sent there aud kept in straight jackets until tney mauitest cerebral nnprovemeiitaud returning sanity. Tire gcabkt ol Radicalism uas interned every city ot the North of any importance except New York. There it can make no effective lodgment. The people of mat emporium of the New World have done uoihiug to be ashamed of, aud hence no need to expuuge their records. They meet ttod welcome us like brothers, and when a Presi dent visits thttir aity N tbay know how-ttfbo- have themselves. ’ * ha Tragedy at Medina, Michigan.

The telegraph huff already famished as with a brief account of the destructive fire in New York on Saturday night last, in which St. Patrick’s Cathedral waa consumed. Valu able property on Broadway was also 'de- j stroyed, involving a losa of upwards of half a million of dollars. From the New York Sun we take the following: The scene in the neighboring atroala during the burning uf tha cathedral, waa one of the most dramatic, and, and, at times, one of the moat thrilling, witnessed for many years In New York. St Patrick’s nearly oentrea that most densely populated of ell the .cite wards—the Fourteenth; ami the good old parish en folds in a reverend embrace the score of thousands of struggling poor, the wretched end the suffering who drag along a paiufnl existence lathe forests of dry aud inflammable timber ot which moat of the houses there are built.

The elders of families had been left be- bind with a fain t flickering of hope, a pail and a handy hydrant to keep the roots wetted, while the rest joined the fleeing, frightened caravan. Here ran along a sturdy youth without a shirt, but with hia back and shoulders covered with the household bed ding and valuables bundled in a sheet; down falls the shower of sparks, lighting upon the precious package, and in an instant it blazes up; tbe btarer e-nift bis flaming load - upou the- ground, which la consumed before hia eyes, aud thus banishes iu burning flakes property bo had hoped to save. Cuddled In heaps iu other places, in safe area ways, on open stoops, even by trees upon the exposed sidewalks, were hundreds of family groups watching the scant store of household utensils which they hud removed from endangered tenements. Beds, tube filled with shattered crockery, chairs, pails—with the just purchased sad uncooked Sunday dinner. Amid such piles ot household goods might be seen a couple of hundred mothers, clasping to their scantily covered bosoms their infanta, snatched from their poor and lowly cote, ana hurried into tho glaring streets, unconscious of and uncaring for the lurid flames which illuminated their progress to wards some place of security, as though the noon-day sun was lighting up the scene.

The bear had been shot m some vital part by the Indian; and the latter, when found, lmd bis skull crashed as if by- a powerful blow.

Dbkadfcl Tbaoedy in Illinois.—A fearful tragedy occurred in the town of Thompson, Carroll county. Illinois, on Monday. Two. families, by the names of Goddard and Schcnck, have been living during the post summer in the same house, on m farm about a mile from the village. Frequent quarrels have oc curred between them. .The quarrels Anally culmi nated bn Monday in a fierce personal encounter be tween two mala diem bers of the families. Clubs and similar weapons were -Xreely used, and nearly all the members of the two families finally became engaged in the conflict. Mrs. Goddard, having been struck once or twice iu the melee, rushed into the house and soon returned with a butcher knife, which .she imme diately plunged into the breast of Miss Mary Lola, ] ailing her instantly. Mias Cole, the victim, was a ; oung lady about nineteen years of age, of a quiet and inoffensive disposition, and was taking no part in.the quarrel.
