R. A. McTyer, on Bar bour (tract, in this city, waa totally de stroyed by fire, together with a consider able portion of the furniture in the sec ond story. The fire evidently caught in the roof from aome defect of the chim ney. and before it was discovered the en tire roof was in flames. But for the scarcity of water, the fire engines would have saved the building. The firemen, however, did nobis work in preventing a spread of the flames to the now and handsome residence of Mr. Tom Evoiritt, about eighty feet distant on the adjoin ing lot. Col. McTyei’s residence was the largest frame building in'the city, and it made a very large and hot fire. It was insured In the "Sow York "Home” Insur ance Company for $ 1,000—scarcely a half of the original cost of the building. Notwithstanding the tightness of the times, we had a moderately lively Clirist- hare, but the weather was cxceed- ingly inclement for outdoor frolics. But one accident worth noting occurred dur ing the festivities, and that was the acci dental killing of a negro boy, by a shot gun in tho hands of a little white boy named John Britt. The lads, with sev eral others, were out hunting, and got to playing with each other with their guns, when Britt's gun was accidentally dis charged—tho load of shot taking effect in tho side of the negro hoy, and horribly mangling hi* ribs, lungs and stomach. He died in a few hours. Yesterday and to-day tho weather has been the coldest of tho season. The mercury at 6 o'clock yesterday morning was down to 24 degrees, plus zero, and tliis morning at tho same hour, it stood at 22. B. L>. S. ErvAUts, Dec. 20,1873. Baltimore and Ohio Itailroad. Reviewing tho status and operations of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which has just re-elected Col. John W. Garrett President for the fifteenth time, tho Nashville Union says this road was the first to essay crossing the mountains, and has more curves, heavier grades and a larger mileage of tunneling than any other road in the country. And yet its freight tariff has always been lower than any of its trans-Alleghany rivals. That its low rates have given ample compen sation is shown in tho last annual report of its president. The gross earnings of the road and branches for tho year were fifteen and a half millions, while its ex penses wero only ten millions. The two semi-annual dividends of fiva percent, upon tho capital stock wero made and paid in cosh, and the balance of not earn ings of thG year carried to the surplus rev enue capital account, which now amounts to upwards of twenty-nino millions, composed entirely of undivided not comings. This creditable showing is unparalleled in the history of oar mil- roads, and explains why this company lias not been effectod in the least by tho panic. It has found no occasion to discharge workmen or curtail salaries, becauso it has always been run on a sound business basis. Appreciating tho fact that this road afforded tho shortest and quickest transit from the Ohio basin to tho coast, Col. Garrett first oxtended his lines to Pittsburg, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago, and then established a lino of Clyde steamers to Liverpool, to carry furthor tho products of West and South which his road brought to tho At lantic. Already six first-class steamers roceivo all tho traffic they can handle, and this is but the beginning of better things. With the disappearance of po litical asperities, and tno riddance of Western debts contracted in tho East when gold was 2-10, and not all paid off yet in greenbacks worth twice os much, wo mny expect Western produco to seek this short route to tho seaboard, until ten or twenty times os many vessels will be needed to carry it off. Hartz’a Illusions. A perfectly self-possessed and lection* man, slight of stature, slightly bald, appeared before the assem bly in Robinson Hall lost evening to per form his feats of sleight-of-hand. It was Hartz, the Iruflmn box " With ingenious smile he asked the ladies for three finger rings. These be slipped on the fingers of a white kid glove, which he neatly rolled into a wad and put into the barrel of a large pistol, and one of the company was directed to fire at small glass pedestal on a table. Simul taneously with the discharge the glove actually sprang up from the top of the glass with the fingers extending into the air, having the rings on them. Three small flower pots filled with earth were next examined by the spectators, and nothing unusual could be found about them or in the earth. Bat when the ma gician placed a paper cone over them and instantly removed it, flowering plants a foot high appeared in full bloom. A silk hat won borrowed, and so far as one could see nothing was put into it. Hr. Hartz rapped in it with his hand and held it up for examination, and it seemed empty. Then amid applause and amazement the Professor drew oat a pile of handker chiefs of all size*, colors and shapes; also twenty-five tin cones, four of which would more than fill the hat, ten square quart boxes, twenty-five additional tin cones, a pair of baby’s shoes, a canary bird in a wooden engo as large os the hat, a pack of playing cards, a large doll a foot high, and a full-sized hoop skirt. Many other wonderful feats were as artistically performed. Last was the Indian box trick, which proved tho marvel exhibition of tho evening. A man was locked in a tall bosket, placed on the box, which waa enclosed in canvas and securely tied with double ropes. In just two minutes the man was in the box, and none of the knots were disturbed nor tho seals broken, and tho basket remained locked. The Professor challenged Spiritualists to ex plain the trick or to perform it.—Kew Tori Sun, 24th. CHRISTMAS GOODS I NEW YEAR’S GOODS! Connecticut Tobacco. The culture of tobacco in the Connec ticut Volley has been so profitable that formers have coma to rely upon it os their dependence. The result is that they now find themselves with two crops on hand, with littlo prospect of obtaining any market for it, and a possibility of utimately obtaining very low prices. More than this, the tobacco is ruining the soil for other crops. Perhaps 25.0UU cases, containing from 325 to 375 pounds each, would bo a tolerably correct esti mate of tho amount of 1872 tobacco in the possession of tho farmers of New England, in addition to the considerably larger quantity, including tho tobacco on hand of previous years' crops, in tho hands of local speculators. On top of this rebundant crop of 1872 is piled the abundant ono of this year. i of tho womanly nature are infinite in their variety.

From the New York Times.J The following letter from Speaker Blaino to a gsntlomau in this city was not written for publication, but as it re fers sololy to a matter of public interest, wo violate no propriety in giving it in print: WAsinsiaTOjr, D. C., Dec. 17, 1373. Mr Deau Sib—Your note of inquiry is at hand. You are in error in regard to tho Post-office Committed of tho House having prepared a hill for tho restoration of the franking privilege to members of Congress. The committee have, I under stand, agreed upon a bill providing for some method of supplying stamps for the transmission of public documents which wo print in such needless find ex travagant profusion. It seems to me the wiser and better way would bo to dis pense with the documents. I never could soo the justice or the propriety of paying from the public treasury for the printing of books for gratuitous distribu tion among a small fraction of tho peo ple. The enormous edition of tho agri cultural report, for instance, though cost ing so much, only affords 000 copies to each Congr-isional district, where the total population is 130,000, and the aver age number of voters 25,000. And then while members of Congress can not be expected to pay the poatago on a vast mass of public documents, amounting in the aggregate to several hundred dollars, it is quite safe to say that the persons to whom tho documents are addressed, would, in a largo majority of coses, decline to take them from the post-office if they had themselves to pay the postage. The Government, there fore. not only furnishes the book gratui tously, but pays for tho transportation besides. In order to induce people to ac cept them. I think it wise to stop a business of this kind, and thereby save nearly or quite $2,000,000 annually to the public purse. As to restoring tho franking privilege for the individual correspondence of members, I can hardly conceive any ono desiring it. There would be no possible convenience resulting from the revival that would compensate for the general injustice and odium of the act, especially at this time, when there has been no fair trial of the new system. The personal and official correspondence of any one member is not large enough to be pecu niarily burdensome. J ust remember that $300 will pay the postage on 10,000 let ters, and then find the Congressman that writes half that number in a single year. We have the cheapest postage, ell things considered, of any people in the world, and about the fairest thing I know of is for every citizen, public and private, to pay Bi* own shore of it. If I would vote for any possible exception to the rale of uniform and universal payment, it would be in favor of newspaper exchanges and the free circulation of county papers within their own bailiwicks. Very sin cerely yours, J. G. Blaixe. Go ite a Fmnernl and a Dinner Pnrty. From the Chicago Tribone.] Sr. Louts, December 22.—An incident connected with President Grant’s recent visit here is exciting some comment. He came on Saturday with his family to at tend the funeral of his father-in-law, whose remains ore laid is Bellefontaine Cemetery. The funeral took place on Saturday, immediately after the arrival of the party. Yesterday (Sunday) Gen. William S. Harney, one of the pall bearers. invited the President to a dinner party at his residence in Lucas place. The repast is said to bare been formal and elegant, and about twenty of the President's friends sat down to it. The dinner will serve in history os a com panion piece to the banquet given the first gentleman of the nation by Poet- tti Riley in the house over which the red flag of a United States official turned auctioneer waa flying- Laivd.xui.et 'Williams is his name. It came about in this wise: One of the accu sations against Attorney General Wil liams in the investigation now making by the Senate Judiciary Committee, is that tiro Government has been made to pay for tho carriage used by Mrs. Wil liams. Inquiry was made by the com mittee, or some of its members, at the Treasury Department, and tho following voucher discovered: Washihotom, D. C., Jan. 19,1872. “Tie V. S. lu A. J. Joyce, Dr.: “To one landaulet for Department of Justice, $1,000. Ecceired payment. A. J. Jotck.” This carriage, it is said, was ordered by Mrs. Williams for her own use, in ac cordance with a custom which has ob tained among a majority of the Cabinet officers, and os there was no authority of law for such an expenditure, the fact is used now as an argument against the confirmation of Hr. Williams to be Chief Justico. Pbouidition a Failure.—Boston, De cember 24.—George B.

The Longdale, therefore, lias a good pedigree and is no experiment. It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for the promotion of vegetable life, and especially of cotton, than any other fertilizer offered in the South. It is tho best and safiist Cotton Manuro in tho market. The analysis given with the Manuro when sold will be guaranteed. There shall be no mistake about tho genuineness of the article, nor tho good faith of the vendors. It is the cheapest Manure offered, as it coutoins nothing but what is of use in becoming plant-food, or by chemical action on the soil, producing tho same. The test of cheapness is not the price, but tho actual 'worth of tho article purchased. Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuable chemi cals, which can alone give worth to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. The Langdale is as low in prico as is consistent with the use of tho best ingredients, and a fair commercial profit on its cost. Tho employment of powerful machinery in mixing and pulverizing the ingre dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. The Lang dale is unequalled in this respect, and impresses every one who sees it os a perfectly manipulated Manure. In its composition and preparation it is tho result of careful scientific research and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century. It will be maintained at it3 present high standard, and is thus what planters have long wanted-a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure. THE MODEL MANURE AND PLANTER’S FRIEND.
