A Richmond Station ` (Que.} despatch, dated Mon*night, gives the following Fartiottlars of the fire at this village ":" rom Richmond to Danville is 12, miles, and it was neoessary.to drive the distance as no trains were due in that village until midnight. Just atdusk were reached all that was left of the pretty little town of Danville. It is situated ' in the valley through which the G. T.

Ruins of the finest buildings in the place were all that were Ieft, while in the case war. .af 'buildings exclusively of wood : there no : trace save the ' nails, the .riwits ashes, having: been blown away'to the four ywinds. The.' afternoon .of Sunday was blustering and cool, with awind blowing - from the northwest. About 4 o'clock fire was discovered coming from the boiler room of Goodhue's tannery. Messrs. Cleveland and Stockwell were firston the ground, and soon sawthat the whole build- ing was in flamesand was likely ;to go. The safes were gotten into the open air and the books- saved, while the firemen got the hand engine up. The latter did such service as it could bat to no purpose, as - the fire posiession of the whole of the tannery building. . As already stated, a hurricane was_ • blowing at the time, and sparks flew in all directions one after another, and the buildingson, the main street took fire and in half an hour of from the time the fire had been :noticed the whole town seemed to 'be in a blaze. Telegrams were tried to Sherbrooke, Rich- mond and Island " Pond.

TsfLyTIlii(, TRAMPS. k Fsatisfactiony for the , doomed town was the em news {fiat their engine was undergoing gld. • repairs and could notbe made serviceable in wr _time. .By 6 o'olookforty or: fifty 'buildings werein--flames,.and,two hundred people wens homeless, whil', owing to° the destruo- or _tion of . the". tannery-,. nearly half a hundred ' men were thrown out of • employment. - In the two hours between 4 and 6" o'clock the struggle on the :part of the residents to `*save • their - goods. s was a hard one: People did what they , could, bat the. wind was strong and the sparks. so thickly spread that while articles d - of wearing apparel were carried -they took ere and had•to be abandoned on the road- way in order to save life. To add . to the at confusion three ibarrels.ofgnnpowder which had been stored in Stookwell'a store exploded with s terrible crash. Shortly afterwards one that had been thrown into m a pond near the tannery floated toward The some burning. debris, took fire and exploded with a terrible - noise: It was these explosions doubtless that Ied to the stories of loss of. Iife having taken" place. Fortunately, there was no truth in these rumors, the only lives lost being those of several head: of cattle: By8 o'clock n in the evening men had commenced to : col- lett their thoughts to provide shelter for the homeless. Dishonest persons•from the surrounding district are charged with steal- ;ing from the unfortunate people burned out, insteadd of helping them. Incredible as this mayseem it is vouched for by several. gentlemen. 'who were too busy to interfere- and -put, a stop to the rascally business: The totalamount of loss must be well over 6100,000. = A pare Care; for Vagrancy.. In the report of the .combined city ohari- ties of Toronto for the past year the principal feature is th"e advent of the appli- cation of thelabor test" to tramps- by requiring them to breakstone asa condi- tionece,"iving relief. The net expense has can been 6108:,; of which $43. is for implements; The result, however, has been most remarkable, as the following figures: wiJlI show:. During the months of January, February and March,- 1881, the number. of 'persons who obtained refuge in the House Of Industry was 2,942;; while an average of 45 persons daily, exclusive of families, were supplied with soup at the kitchen. During the corresponding months in 1882 the number•` sheltered was only 1,144,while the average .number who visited the soup kitchen daily '=was ' 20.; While this decrease is due to some extent to the milder weather, and the • greater amount of employment, there is no doubt that the labor test -has had the effect of keeping away the idle and; undeserving. Murder et a Priest. A few w—e ,ksplice the Rev. Abbe Larne., parish priest at xton,Falls, in .Quebec Province,. was burned to -death- in his parsonage, as was - believed at the time, by accident. It now appears that the authorities of the district have received information whichleadsthem to believe that the'venerable father was murdered for his wealth, and the house subsequently set on fire to cover.upp the: diabolical deed. It was well known in the neighborhood that the aged priest had a large sum of money of his own and belong.. ing to the. church in a trunk in his ?room. After . thefire it wasdiscovered that the lock of the trunk had been pried open. The local at-- . *s The.

V: Essick, a Canton (Ohio) gentle. man,has invented a telegrephiotransmitter, which only needs one pressure of the key to form a letter, whereas the -Morse alphabet requirea82_impulses: At -the receiving end the 'message •is written,out by a modifies tion of the typewriter.. The result of this invention is greatly increased rapidity of transmission. The inventions have been tested on wires :of the Pittsburg,` Fort -Wayne & Chicago Railroad, - and ..it is ,expected that one wire fitted with the new transmitter and receiver -will do the work of three with the instruments - in present use, while the liability of error in transmission is very materially lessened.

A LUCKY M1SS. The Green -Eyed Monster Mises a. "Mntunt Friend** With a Couple of Ballets. • ' A sensation was.oreated on Yonge street, Toronto, about 4 "o'clock yesterday after, noon by the deliberate attempt of a semi intoxicated person 'to assassmate a well- known merchant.. The rash • •act may probably be accounted for by the following particular ' ' Alex. Wylie, the would•be murderer, is a well-known. commercial traveller belonging to Toronto.. A few years ago he married a young Toronto girl of pre- possessing appearance and rented a house in the west end of the city: Mr: Walker, of Walker, Row.& Co., 99 Yonge street, went to board with them. All went well until Wylie began to drink,after which he used to abuse his wife, and was separated from. her and went to St. Thomas, she in the meantime keeping house for Mr. Walker. Yesterday afternoon Wylie, who had been imbibing rather freely, ' stepped . into Walker's store, and after waiting patiently until Mr. Walker hadserved several waiting customers, he guietly'demanded an answer to the question propounded " so often, " Where is my wife?'! Mr. Walker assured him that he could not let him know, as his (Wylie's) wife did not • wish him to know. Quick as lightning Wylie drew a revolver from his pocket, in :which he had been fumbling, and passing his hand around the desk put the.muzzle near Walker's temple and fired: With a shout of alarm Walker dodged his head . just - as the bulletwhizzed by, carrying a, small portion of skin from the temple.. Walker then rushed down the _store, -and as he was entering the back shop another-. bullet grazed his head. He esoaped by the back way, and hurrying to the police office, despatohed P. C. O'Connell to the Scene. ` The olerks in the store were very much terrified lest Wylie in his . passion should 'shoot at them, but the • latter informed Mr. Theobald, one of the . clerks, that lie only wanted to kill Walker. Mean- time the police arrived and took Wylie into custody. He refused= to say' anything further than that he blamed`Walker for his troubles . with his wife. The revolver which he used was found to -contain four more cartridges. Canada -1.018r Country. At the McGill graduates' dinner the other night the -Rev. Dr. Stevenson proposed the toast of " Canada." • .He was proud to pro, pose this toast. Born as he was:on the other side of the Atlantic he was glad now to drop the name of Englishman and. take the name of Canadian. They could be proud of Canada without belittling in the slightest degree any of the other nationali- ties. He did not wish to speak unkindly of other histories, but we had lights in our history that were like Bayard—men with-. out fear and without reproach. France. and England had quarrelled m 'the past, but they had now shaken hands over the sacred dust of their .heroes, and in this - Canada of ours the intermingling of these two great nationalities would be of great benefit: There was no exclusive 'Wags in Canada—every man had perfect freedom in speech, freedom i 'life and freedom in the. press. - Dr. L. H;'Freohette, in reply, said it was. natural that the toast of ""Canada," having; been proposed in English, should be responded to in French,-sinoe our country bad an immense advantage in the rare good -fortune of having been : discovered, peopled, inherited and developed by two of the greatest nations in the .world—the Anglo-Saxon and. the French. He had- faith in thedestinyof his country, .!spe- cially when he looked upon suoh institu- tions as MoGill University, which had sprung from-. her soil, and were fostered under the banner of a -glorious past and in the hope of a great future. Dynamite in on Ice Waggon." • , A Roohester despatph says : Wm. Quinn and James Doyle, young Irishmen of the ninth: ward,: have been arrested, charged with exploding a dynamite bomb on Lyell street, in this . city, at 8 o'clock last :even- evening. By the light of matohes the bomb was carefully placed in an ice waggon. Its handlers retired several rods and threw, stones at it, finally hitting and 'exploding it. There was a shocking report heard for. a mile or two. The waggon was blown to. atoms and the front was blown from a grocery store adjacent. Several children and two adults say they witnessed : the entire proceedings and fully identify Quinn and Doyle as the perpetrators, though the latter have denied it. They pleaded ;not guilty = and have been held on ` bail.. 'for examination. The police are looking for five similar dynamite -bombs, said to be in 'the possession of Doyle and Quinn. No motive for .their dangerous proceedings is yet assigned. Potter Palmer, the Chicago millionaire, began life before the war as the keeper of a country :store in the little village of Oneida, in Illinois. He sold out • and removed' to Michigan, but soon turned toward Chicago, where he became very_ rich.' . The big fire left him, as it did many another Chicago merchant, with little.else than his pluck ; but while the ruins were still hissing hot. be had put up a rough Shanty, near where the great- hotel bearing his . name now stands, and hung obit a roughly painted sign, " Laborers Wanted."

Beater Tizard. Shortly after Mrs. have entered the mind of Mrs. Down, the ultimate exposure of which has led to the present proceedings being taken. The WOMatt has• succeeded in obtain- ing 'sums of nioney from a Dr. .Gale dining stnie fictitious negotiations for the sale Of Butikfastleigh 'Abbey, which, by a course of most ingenious ---deceptiens, she succeeded. ler a thne- in carrying on. Whenthe transaction for the purchase Of the abbey' had reached a certain Stage,' Mrs. Down' began to make overtures for loans, and not suspeeting her bona'fides .Gales advanced her certain Mims. Soon after a request Wee made for a loan of 2150; and when Dr. Gale &dined' to entertain the suggestion she brought him a note, pur., pbrting to be- written by Mrs. TizartI(for whim she alleged' She was buying. the abbey), -undertaking to furnish additional sechrity if he revired it. Thereupon Dr. Gale insisted on being brought fees . to face with Mrs. TiZard and upen being aticOmpanied by hid Seeretary. Mrs. Dewn 'consented te his visiting Mrs. Tizard alone, but vetoed- the presence of - his ainanuensis. On those conditions Dr. Gale aodompanied Mrs. Down to -her hotise and was led tnto a room,- end Mrs. Dein left him alene. Presently an apparently infirm footstep. mitered the ;Nem aed Gale was addreesed in an. aged, quavering voice -by the soi-disant Mrs. Tizard. -SO zomplete was the deception that Dr. Gale ad no idea he was being imposed upon, and he left thoroughly sathified of the genuine character of the businede. Subsequently he bad . another interview under Similar. conditions. A few - days later a rumor reached him. that Mre. DoWn had been victimizing pro- minent inhabite.nts of the town. and subse- quentlY Mrs.,Down was found at the -neigh- boring railway etation prdparing to leave the town with several pieces of luggage. When confronted with Dr, Gale ehe feigned - insanity and raved and laughed to heretilf for half an hour.
