Burley, went into the Marble Saloon, corner of Sth strect and Pennsylvania avenue, ani asked to be accommodated with meals.

V ey were going up the steps two pistol shots were heard. but it does not appear to be known who fired them. Burley received @ bullet under the jaw, which grazed the bene and passed out ‘through the mouth, cutting the end of his tongue and knocking out one tooth. He. with his companions started up the avenue, and finding the blood running pretty freely they went into Dr. Entwistle’s drug store, when the wounds were examined by Dr. Bliss, who gave it as his opinion that they were not dangerous. Burley states that he and his companions, after being refused accommodations by the proprie. tors, left the place peaceably, but were followed by Ruseell, who fired at them as they ascended the steps.’ Mr. Kussell and his partner, Mr. Leonard, state positively that they were poth im the m When the shots were fired on the outside, and that they know nothing as to who | fired them.

The vessel, which was of copper, was forced from the bottom of the cellar, where it had been standing, up through the floor, tearing the planks into atoms, and then struck the ceil- ing of the store, falling inside. The report was as loud as that of a sixepounder, and in a few minutes a large crowd had collected. Tne Boarp or Arrxats met at the office of Major H. A. Hall, superintendent of assess- ments and taxes, to-day, and organized by elect- ing Mr. E. W. W. Griffin assecretary, the super- intendent acting as PP givens of the board ex officio.

Last week the last will and testament of an ol! citizen of Richmond was admitted to record in the chancery court of that city. In it oceurs the following passages, which are surely a curi- osity in will literature: “To my daughter —, who has done so much to alienate my affections, but who I still deeply and tenderly love, I give ax an evidence of the beauties of her doctrines of secession and rebellion, doctrines and aims which have reduced me trom aftinence to beg- as she yet thinks, perbaps, that ‘The Lost Cause’ will be regained, she may think my bequest as valuable, more so, possibly, than the same amount given in Fanker securities, I give her the followin, conzederate bonds of K., P. & Co., $25,000; 15 servants emancipated by secession, $10,000; insurance and bank stocks, $15,000; ail my claims against the so-called con federate government, for the wanton, cruel,and wicked destruction of my property on the 3d of April, 1865, $200,000. I could continue the list to the extent of more than half a million of dol- lars, but the above wiil suffice. She will see what the effeet of secession has been, but for which I could have left all my children’a hand- some competency.” Reroistenine Vitar Statisrics.—The Medi- al Krcord counsels practitioners as to the ne- cessity of promptness and care in the registra. tions of births and deaths; contending, with great force, that the laws aftecting the growth of population in this country are of vital im- portance. The Hecord expresses the opinion that the population in remote districts of the United States is increasing among the more enltivated classes more slowly than it did one hundred years ago. and calls upon phystcians to employ a portion of their leisure in studymg the problems Involved in this whole question. It has been shown by Dr. Nathan Allen, of Lowell, who has carefully studied the statistics, that the average number of children in American fami- ites in New England is now but three, or three and a half, against a former average of eignt, and the conclusions drawn from this fact are irresistible. But the statisties are imperfect, chiefly through the neglect of medical practi- tioners, and the Record properly sustains the officers the Census and Education Bureaus in calling for a reform. THE Wasuxcton TREATY.—A London paper announces the receipt of the reply of the Secre- tary of State to Lord Granville’s note. It is said to rehearse the desire of this government for a final settlement of all the questions at issue upon amicable terms. It is added that neither government appears to favor the reopening of the proceedings of the High Joint Commission. ‘The fishermen of the United States are to be notified from the Treasury Department that the provisions of the treaty of Washington will not go into effect until the laws required to carry them into operation have been by Con- ss, the Parliaments of Great Britain and Sanada, and the Legislature of Prince Ed- ward’s Island, and to warn them that their business must be carried on subject to the restrictions existing at the time of the ratitica- tion of the treat OpscENE Pvp ‘Ti0NS.—The Nev York Journal of Co ree tells us there is a fair pro- t now of getting rid of obscene publications: “A society is forming which will make those glected laws the terror of evil doers, and pro- cure legislation to render them still more strin- gent. ‘The public offences of this kind are gen- eral and monstrous, News stands exhibit pic- torial weeklies ful of the basest appeals to the most brutal passions, and certain newspapers act the part of pimps and drummers for the Tesorts of infamy. society which will put an end to such a shameless abuse of print ink should receive the support of all good cite zens.” rene Sis eek CAaTAcAZY at Home.—The St. Petersburgh correspondent of the London Telegraph writes, February 10: “M. Catacazy is well known here as aman of a certain ability, but with princi- ples of @ very doubtful character. It must be said, to the Lonor of the Czar, that he pnt for- ward serious objections against Catacazy’s ap- ointment to Washington when it took place. rince Gortschakott, however, was not actuated by such delicate feelings, but pushed his favor- ite forward at all hazards.” es Waat Mystery 1s Tuis?—On Saturday a box which had been shipped over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Cincinnati to Thorn- ton, West Virginia, was accidentally broken open at the Wheeling Depot, and revealed to @ hogror-stricken crowd of road employees the atilated body of a human being, the head.
