GENERAL HEWS.
Mr.s. Sarah ■VA»p*« l ii*r, who died In Trenton
on th© COth of November, o few months short ot the
a«o of ninety-five, was one of the company of young
maidens (then Miss Moore) who sang the ode oT
welcome to Washington when he passed through
Trenton to New York. April 21, 1789. This estl
iahle lady never lost the enthusiasm of that day,
imd within two weeks of her doath reolted with ani
mation the song she had learned seventy-five years
ago In honor of the first President of the United
states. Is there now a single survivor of the
throngs that, on that day, followed the Illustrious
visitor oyer the Assanplnkl
Thu narrative of Edmund Kirke detailing his
visit to Libby has been oontradloted by Major
.Tarver, the keeper of'the prison. He says “ Elrke’s
statements are not only filled with falsehoods of the
grossest character, which must be apparent to every
reader, but in every particular, save the single one
of his being at the Libby, Is utterly without founda
tion. The whole story is a Jlo, and as well, If not
better, known to ho such by ‘ Kirke ’ than anybody
■lie, I have conferred wlttr Judge Ould on the sub
ject, and hejolns me In stigmatizing it as a shame
less publication.”
A wix,x> boar was killed a few miles from Bridge
ton. N. X, a few days ago. His appearance Indi
cated an age of about fifteen years. His‘Skin was
half an inch thick, and several loads of buckshot
were required to despatch him. The carcase
weighed MiOpounds, and tusku were BJf Inches long.
It Is supposed that there are others in the same vi
cinity. Ahont a year ago a pedestrian of that neigh
borhood was pursued by a wild hog, supposed to bc
the one just killed. ’
.THExebel Longstreet Is said to bo still suffering
greatly from his wounds. The ball went In at the
base ofhls .throat, just below Adam’s apple, and eat
Its way- out through the right shoulder, just below
the ciaviole. As It passed out it cut the nerves of
sensation and motion of the right arm. The arm
still remains paralyzed as far as motion la concern
ed, but the nerves of sensation are somewhat in
volved in the cicatrix, add are morbldlyand acutely
sensitive and irritable. He has taken oceans of
morphine, and 'ls gTeatly reduced, but the pain
seems to remain as great aa ever.
Superstition still exists in Prance. Lately, in
an interior town, a young mason dug up a body In a
cemetery, out off one hand and burned it to ashes,
which he mixed with gunpowder In the belief that
he wonld then be able to shoot game Without his
gun making any report to attract the notice of the
police guard.

BBPAIBS TO PAIRMOUITT DAM,
Mr. Üblek (TJ.} presented a communication from the
Chief Engineer of the Water Department, which states
**The low tides ofMonday and Tuesday hare enabled
the department to make an Inspection of Falrmount
dam. A portion of .the eastern end of the dam is found
to be in a dangerous condition, requiring immediate
attention. A portion of the crib- works, u son which this
part of the dam was built, has been washed out, leav
ing about thij ty -two feet in length by about fifteen feat
in depth without any support. The depart stent is now
making arrangements to strengthen this placer From
the nature of the work and the season of the year, it is
Impossible to make any reliable estimate of the cost.
, /n appropriation of ten thousand dollars will pro
bably be sufficient. ' •
Dr. TJhler (U.) presented an ordinance appropriating
SIO,COO for the purpose of making the necessary re*
pairs.
Mr. EbightiiY (0.) said that the state of the dam is
so bad that it would netd entire rebuilding, and that
probably if would be necessary to rebuild it next stun
mer, but that in the meantime it was very important
that these repairs should be immediately made.
Dr. KambrljY (O.) thought that this ordinance should
have come from the Committee on Water. He said the
committee ought to have called together, and the ordi
nance should have been prepared by them. He moved
to refer It to the CommitUe on Water.
Mr. Hodgdqk (II.) said that this was a matter that ad
mitted of no delay; that the dam might be carried
away, and then the cost of repairing it would be very
much greater/
Dr. Uhxißr (U.) said that the first freshet which oc
curred would inevitably carry away the dam. unless
it was repaired. The ohief engineer, he stated, deemed
these repairs so urgent.that be had already commenced
making these repairs at his own expense.
The.motion to-iefer to the Gommittee on Water was
Dr. Kamjrly (0. ) then moved the ordinance be post
poned for the present Be said that if the repairs were
bo necessary as was stated, the chief engineer would go
on and make them, and that he could then refer the
matter-to Councils, when all neceisary work which he
might have done would be recognized.
Aftera spirited debate, in which the necessity of the
repairs was foicibly urged, a vote was taken upon Dr.
Kamerly *s motion, but no quorum voted.
A call of the House was then made, when a quorum
Was found to be present.

A callrof the House resulted in the obtaining of a quo -

FINANCIAL iHB COIffMKKOIAL*.
Tfce fold market was considerably excited yesterday,
consequent upon ike intelligence from the army of
General Sherman, and exaggerated talk of a prospective
entanglement with England growing out of the release
of ike St. Albans raiders. General Six’s order, urginr
a summary disposal of future raiders, and a pursuit,
of them into Canadian territory if necessary, coupled
with the introduction into the Senate of Mr. Chandler’s
resolutions sottii g forth, in plain language, our difficul
ties with Great Britain, were received with Rome unea
siness among the gold operators, who expected ito use
these official expressions of our position towards Eug
' land as indicative of a war with that Power. For a
while the bulls of the market had it quite their own
way; but later in the day, under n« ws of General Sher
man’s successful advance near Savannah, the market
took another turn; the military position was considered
much more cheering, and the hears were in the ascen
dancy. The rate for gold advanced ten per cent within
an hour, and declined to the sftmc extent the jiexthour.
There was considerable buoyancy at the Stock Board,
and the transitions were very large. Government
loans continued in demand, and the tendency of prices
was upward. The 20*40bonds sold at 103 in the after
noon, an advance of I3f, and ihc 5*203 an ad
