It Is Ilobson's choice with them. The most phi losOpideal of poets has written : "What cannot be epettevved maid he embraced and he would be a strangely constituted and monstrous reader who could eschew thO modest and tenacious Roger. No, Mesdames et Messieurs; dismiss so extravagant an idea from your friendly minds, and read on. Yon have all perused the newspaper Itee 6lllo of the buming of Itarnum's Museum. As ;I Came down< Broadviay this Morning, grbuty from re peated failures to secure standing- room.in the passing stages, I suddenly found myself among an open-mouthed crowd of my feUoOtizens, gambig at the most curious and beautiful spectacle which Mr. Barnum ever exhibited. The front wails of the Museum are standing. The water from the hose of the engines has frozen wherever it struck. The result is that the ugly buildings have been transformed into a fairy palace. The lee is arranged in grotesque, yet regular forms. some features of the Mammoth Cave are exactly reproduced. The large lamps in front of the cen tral building are especlallywonderful. No doubt the photographers have seen their opportunity. In that MC every Bur-LErrx reader of taste will do well to obtain a counterfeit presentment of this fantastic creation of mos:9lre winter. The spectacle was prepared for us "regardless of expense," u the newspapers and play-bills say.. For the second time Mr. Barnum has been an involuntary exhibitor. Besides the loss of his animals and collections, he loses a large Elm of money paid within the last fortnight for the premises. The Port, which is rarely in error, Far) he will rebuild. But a friend of mine, who saw Mr. Barnum on the morning after the fire, standing rosy and cheerful among the crowd, tells me that the great showman said to him, "I shall not try it again." The fire had a funny sequel this morning. A bear, who was seen during the Are at a window of the Museum, and who declined the accommodation of a ladder, appeared, about six o'clock, on Mercer street. The Arabs first ran from him, and then ran after Lim, keeping up a. pelting fire of snow-balls. The poor beaat tied into Broadway, Wall street being inaccessible, and sought abetter in the Metropolitan Hotel. Receiving an inhospitable weicOnie, he rau on, a terror to the peaceful clerks, and at last sensibly tumbled into an area, ; Where be was captured.. (Mrs. Bontemps re marks,that the bear in question was not the only one of his kind who went down , Broadway this morning. Apropos, I suppose, of a recent con versation about the opera. • Yet some persons think that women should have the electoral franchise !) At_the meeting of the Yale Alumni Association, last week. a very kind letter was read from the 'Yale iftetr tit PlithAelphin, any number of us to eat salt with theta at the Continental. We sent of our best, as - all your Yale men who made the acquaintance of, Messrs. Brooks and Jones will agree, and those of us whom the anfoista re's, or any other less disagreeable reason, detained at home, were sorry for the detention. Our Association is the plicenix which has risen from the ashes of tho old "University Club," in which Yale men did everything but hold the offices and shirk the dues. With Mr. W. M. Evart!. as President, we hope for better fortune. We expect, at an early day, to make Philadel phians eat of our plate and drink of our cap, and swell the good old chant of "Gaudeamus.' (If they are wise, they will commit the second stanza to rummy. At the first meeting of our Association Roger Bontempe, who knows every thing, was the only one who knew a line beyond "Vivat Academici.") "Let us sing a little higher things." (The il literate reader Is informed that this sentiment is classical and proper). I mean politics. Since John Hecker's letter, in which he pledged his life, his fortune and his clerks to the support of the President, nothing has happened to disturb the peace of mind of the patriotic Bontemus. To be sure, the junior Doolittle made an inflam matory speech the other night to an "eminently respectable audience," but I prudently hugged my "sea-coal fire." Nothing has come of Mr. Doolittle's oratory. His hearers would un doubtedly hang Superintendent Kennedy to a Mulberry street lamp-post, if they bad it In their power. As it happens, he has them in his power, and I can testify that the "Prefect of New York" is in no wise alarmed at the threats of the World. The news of the adoption of Butler's article of impeachment was received here with - profound surprise.. The ill-wishers of. Mr. Johnson regard this action as ominous of his acquittal.

Amos snatched up a squirrel rifle (they bad a Henry rifle also with them) and drew it on the Indians, but it merely snapped. The Indians had but one gun between them, and this they bad tired without killing both as they had expected to do, and so took to flight. Amos at first intended to remain and protect his brother, bat, finding that he was dead, he made all hinge to the nearest ranch for assistance. During his absence the Indians—who, it was ascertained, were Blackfeet—returned to tamp and stole everything of value, taking oven the blanket covering the dead body of their victim. They stole their five horses—the murder having been perpetrated, doubtless, more for the purpose of securing these than anything else. It was thought, in deed, that the wolf-like noise heard just prt vions to the firing, was made by a third Indian, whose tracks , were found the net morning, as a signal that the horses had been secured, and that the whites should be murdered to prevent pur suit. One of the Indiana - -the one who bad the gun, and who doubtless did the shOoting—was about forty, years of age; the other, not over fif teen years of age, was armed with a bow and ar row. Amos caused the body of his brother to be brought to town on Wells, Fargo & Co.'s coach, and it arrived here yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, and was laid out at Dr. Trnesdale's pri vate hospital, on Cutler street. We saw it there last evening, and as we looked upon the handsome features, the intelligent face and noble form, and thought that less than forty-eight hours before, the now cold body was full of life, and that that life bad been taken by one of those fiends that receive yearly, from the Government presents that we all help to pay for, we could not but wish that every member of our Congress might look upon this work of the "Poor Indian," and thereby receive a lesson that could in no other way be conveyed to him. Chas. R. Scott wag thirty years of age, a man of much intelligence, and was esteemed by all who knew him. He was - a native of Roscoe.

Indian Barbarity—Two Hunters Save an Indian Girl front a Horrible bea'. The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprige, of Feb. 12, relates the Annexed : About two weeks since Alderman Dimock and one or two other gentlemen left this city on a hunt in the direction Of Honey Lake. They were well provided with arms and provi elons, and bad a good time generally. Night before last they returned to this city, bringing several trophies of their prowess. During their excursion they tilled an elk weighing 404 rounds, and a number of deer, antelope, and smaller game. Among their captures they reckon an Indian girl about seven years of age, whom they rescued from a war, party of five Flutes. The party had with them another and older child, a woman. and a girl about sixteen Years of age, escaped prisoners, whom they had retaken and n ere conducting back to be tortured to death, but our friends saw that though they might, for the suke of peace. yield up one of their captives they would have to take their chances in a rosigh old fight before they could liberate all the cap tives. The Indians were determined to take their prisoner, into the Fiutevamp and have a high old lime—a big . roast; therefore, onr boys compro , raised by saving the youngest of the prisoners. It appears that Winnemucca—not the old man. but the war chief--4eritout-the-party our friends met with. instructing, them to bring back the ebeaped prisoners, who, belonged either to the • Pitt River or come Ilitlende tribe, e . aad or alive. The attention of Dimock and Alden was first attracted to the party by seein g in their possession the scalp of a woman. Upon in quiring they learned the facts in regard to the situation, and rescued the child as above stated. The others were taken to the Flute village, and tortured until death. Had there been any per son in authority to, have interceded with Winne mucca. the lives of all the prisoners would doubt less have been spared. Our hunters report great toes of stock from the severity of the weather among the settlers of Honey Lake and Long valleys—fifty head per day , dying from scarcity of feed and the severity of the weather. The Virginia Tre-Tass gives the annexed ver sion of the story of the Indian girls: On the sixth day they sighted a drove of antel ope, and succeeded iu running down, with their horses, and killing five of them. On their return from tho chase they captured a Goose Lake papoose under the following circumstances : In a recent fight at Long Valley, between Young Winnemucca s tribe,and the Goose Lake Indians, an old squaw with two papooses (girls) were captured. They escaped, and five of Win nemucca's braves went on a hunt after them. They succeeded in cap turing them, killing the old squaw, and were bringing their captives into camp for torture. Diniociland Alden met them and asked about it. The leader, pointing to the two girls said, "Heap 'kill, to-night!" Thereupon Dimock seized the smallest one in his arms, and upon the bucks attempting to rescue the girl, Alden cocked his Henry rifle, telling them to leave. After some hesitation and considerable yelping, they took the eldest one and went off. Our hunters then left quickly for camp, taking the papoose along, ' which Dimock brought home. We saw her this morning at his house. She is very wild, but has fine features, and is evi dently grateful to . Dimock for preserving her. She is seven years old by Indian reckoning, haviug seven spots burned on her left arm, as is the In dian custom. (If such a custom prevailed here, how many ladies would wear short sleeves?) Dl mock has had her bathed, dressed properly, and her hair trimmed; and she will doubtless make a very neat and good servant for him in the coming years. The Indians took her sister to their camp that night, and, after holding a grand pow-wow, tortured her to death. • . ' Heavy Inall--Bo i t t rz Cleveland, Wrom the Cleveland Leader op 21tarch.4.) We are again called , upon to record another outrage upon the mails which was committed at the Union depot in this city on Monday night. Owing to the severe snow storm, the New York Express from Cincinnati, with the through East ern Mallidue at Cleveland at 6.20 A. M.,dld not an rive till 6 P.M. The mall agent at the Cleveland depot, Henry Friasell, upon the arrival of this train, had not been Wormed as to whether a train weuld go east, end he deposited the mail in his, room at the depot, the usual place of keeping it when connections are tardy, and left the bull lug at 8.50 P. M. Upon returning half an hour later, he discovered that the room had been burglari ously enterel, through the only window which opens into the apartment, from the west end of the building. :There were nineteen locked boxes and pouches in the room. three of which were gone, and the lucky alarm probably, saved ,etiany more from a Eltnilar fate. Immediately upon the diScovery of the fob bery, Officer Castor, of the depot pollee, made a thorough search of the, depot and its surround ings, buttoned' to discover any traces of the miss lug mails. Nothing -was- discovered; -however, till yesterday, morning, when some person found a large pacoam:rof riled lettbrs In,a hail tip one of the stairwaYA, on the.' south' ' side - of 18uperior street, - below the American house.

At different periods for BOMe weeks past the Western Female Seminary, at Oxford, Ohio, has been entered at night by burglars,who have visited the young ladies' rooms, and taken therefrom whatever of value could be found. Several at tempts were made to capture the thieves, but none of them proved successful. Last Saturday night two Ladies, teachers in the institute, deter mined to watch for the evildoers, and for that purpose remained up during the night. About 10 o'clock they heard some one ascend the stair. way from the cellar, and continue up to the third story. One of them immediately communicated with the Principal, in the building, and the other went: to the honse.of the Superintendent, two or three blocks distant, to summon assistance. Two gentlemen, Mr. Lyons and Mr. Butler, accompa riled the latter lady to the seminary, and these four persons, each with a lamp, commenced to search for the burglar. After looking for him in various places they found him on the third floor. On seeing them approaching he dashed down a staircase fn an opposite direction,and was closely pursued by the gentlemen. He was commanded to stop, but as he gave no heed and continued his flight, Mr. Lyons, who was armed with a re volver, shot at him three or four times, and finally hit him when he was eight or ten rods from the house. On going up to him he was dis covered to be dead, one of the shots having taken effect in the region of the heart. He was a ne gro who was very well known in Oxford. the Track and a Stove. Upset.

The paisengers, thirty in number, were all transferredto the baggage-car, and with one locomotive proceeded on the - way. When near Hopewell station the baggage-car jumped from the track and overturned' all the passengers into one end of the car, inflicting se rious injuries on thirteen of them. The car stove was broken, and with its mass of living coals of tire was thrown withgreat force upon the already buffering passengers, burning several in a most hocking manner. The following is a list of the sufferers: Sarah Overshire, Helen Lewis, the wife and child of Thomai Phillips, Lyman S. Briggs, Andrew Hortdu, P.

S. Mepham, lying at the upper wharf, just below the Carr street ferry landing. She was soon en veloped in flames, and a nigh wind from the north prevailing at the time. the fire was Collllllll pica bed to the Fanny Scott, which was lying be low the Mepham. Both of these boats were burned to flit: water's edge. The Kate Kinney, lying below the Fanny Scott, also caught fire and was considerably damaged about the bow and the hurricane deck s but was saved from to tal destruction by the timely arrival of the en gines. The rdepham and Scott, we learn, arrived from New Orleans about a week ago, and were wait ing for the season to fairly open before going into business. Last season, the Fanny Scott, which was a sternwheeler, was the St. Louis and Chester packet, and the Me ham, a fine side wheel boat, ran In the New Orleans trade. The Kinney was a Missouri river boat, running be tween-this city and Omaha. The two steamers which were entirely destroyed. by fire were owned, we were informed, by Mr. M. S. Mepham, of this city. The Scott was valued at about $35,000, and the Mepham at $65,000. Ow isg to.tbe ,laseii asgi the hour, we were unable. to ascertain the amount of insurance. The Kate Kinney was principally owned by Captain Jo. Kinney, and was damaged to the amount of $2,000 or $5,000. The barge •Importer, owned by Emory, Kirby & Bro., loadedlvith wood, lying at the stern of the Mepbam, was also destroyed by the fire. Loss $800; no insurance.

In the latter case, and probably In the former, the' parcel must have been placed there during the day. as it could scarcely have lain throughout the day in ft frequented , ball without being dis covered.

In both of these two packages the envelopes were with the letters, although separate. Bo far as ascertained, the thieves reaped a lean harvest of greenbacks for their pains. Indeed, mail robberies. "don't pay" nowadays, but little money being sent through that agency. It is in nearly all cases transmitted in money orders, checks, drafts, dee., which, of course, are no more valuable than waste paper; to persons. other than those to whom addressed. In the Drat package examined, one letter was found from the house of, Jay Cooke de Co., New York, signed "Pitt Cooke," which contained an enclosure of 25: In one of the others was a letter without an envelope, dated New York, February 27th, addressed to "Fannie" and signed "Pitt," which mentioned an enclosure of $BO. These are all, so far as we could learn, which contained money. Not the least possible clue has yet been obtained of the perpetrators of the bold robbery. None of the pouches have yet been found.

AMUSEMENTS. We would suggest to managers of theatres, and to business agents who have charge of entertain ments, that they shall always announce, in their advertisements in the various papers, the hours at which their performances begin. At different places it varies from half-past seven to a quarter of eight, and eight o'cPeck. Persona are wholly unable to tell at what time to start from their homes, and are liable to come in either half an hour late, or half an hour too soon. • The diffi culty can be easily remedied by the managers, and we hope it, will be, hereafter.

The lectiirer herself adds greatly to the attractiveness of the entertainment. She has an extremely comely person, with a churning man ner, that does not fail to prejudice the audience in her favor before she utters a word. Her method of declamation is excellent, and displays not only careful training and hard study, but ex cellent taste and judgment. The lecture will be given to-morrow evening, and we sincerely hope the hall will be crowded.

It was thought 'that the man who was to succeed the Preoldent,'ln case of removal from office, should not take park in the trial of the President. If the case of Mr. Wade did not come within the letter of the Con. stitution, it did come clearly within its principle and meaning.. Mr. Morrill (Me.) argued that there MS no party before the Court to make the objection. and that it did not lie In the mouth of one Sena tor to raise an objection against a fellow mem ber. When the party appeared bere t then objec tion could be made and argued, but not here ant, now. Itseemed to him that there was no op tion and no discretion but to administer the oath, to all Senators. ' • Mr. Hendricks argued that it was inherent in a' Court to judge of its own qualification, and that it was not for a Senator to present that question:lt was for the Court itself to determine whether a member claiming a seat in the C,ourt was entitl-0, to it, and therefore the question was not initm turely made.
