A very careless man iu Scenectady
threw a kiss to bis little daughter in
the street. Another man's wife Btood
in range, and thought the kiss was meant
for her; so she made a similar demon
stration. Her husband just then, un
luckilly, came upon tbe scene and wit
nessed the transaction. lie was very
mad and his anger caused him to thrash
the father of tbe aforementioned little
daughter. The result is an assault and
battery case, which bids fair to furnish
food for gossip in Socnectady lor some
time to come. Ex.

The Army Retiring Hoard. The
board for examining the records and
efficiency of army officers, organized
under tho act of Congress of July last,
of which Gen. Hancock is President,
has not yet got to work, owing to the
non-arrivnl of one of its members, Gen
eral McKensie, of Texas. The rapidity
with which officers are going out under
the provisions of the act allowing a
year's pay will probably reduce the
numper of supernumerics to one hun
dred and fifty by the ISth. of Jan
uary. As the latter number will be
required to fill the vacancies occasioned
by caasualities during the year, it is
thought that the President will recom
mend to Congress the propriety of ex
amining those remaining in service at
that time from the operation of the Act
mustering them out.
Extf.vsivk Fire. Oa Wednesny
night the reflection of what appeared
to be a large jonllagration was visible,
in a direction north west from this
place, and gave rise to many specula
tions as to what it might be. On Thurs
day we received information that it
was a large quantity estimated to be
in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 feet
of lumber, belonging to Messrs. Iles-
ser & Iliietnan in Clearfield county, the
lumber alone was consumed, as the mill
had been reiuoved to some other point
sfiine time since. It was evidently the
work of an incendiary, as there appears
to have been no buildings inhabited
near the spot. It was inshured for

A Historic Craft. Tho Detroit
Ptxt says: The Revenue cutter Andrew
Johnson whilo on a cruise uorthward
from Milwakeo, on the 27th of October,
rescued the stranded schooner Harriet
Ross, and towed her to North Bay.
The Harriet Ross is undoubtedly the
oldest vessel afloat on the lakes, and has
a historic interest, as in 1812 she was
flagship to Commodore Perry, on the
lake. Since then she has been length
ened and rebuilt eevcral times, and is
now a staunch craft, supplied with an
excellent outfit, and having a carrying
capacity of over 150,000 feet of lumber.
