Accident to Another Steamship,— The steamer Hammonia, which left Hamburg on the lliti, the next steamer after the Austria, exploded lier magazine, and. five of her passengers were injured, so (hat she was forced to put back. In the accident .of thtrbnrning of the ..Austria, the rapid spread of the (lames was attributed also’to the explosion of the magazine.

OiT For a long time wc have used.a window shutter by pm office for a Bulls* tin board rami we have claimed and maintained the exclusive use of it, upon which wo put a copy of all bills printed at this office, and none other. One. day last week, a boy from the News office, who has become very impudent ffom his connection with that office, came over to onr private hoard to stick up, a "botched” ’bill. Wa warned him not- to slide it there, as that was onr private board, but lie did stick it up. Of course, the next bill wo l|ad to stick up, went over their bill, ns was right ami proper. Ever since, that time, all the, pimps of that concern have been felling that ?'Wab do goes round tearingdown democratic bills!*’ We never tore down any of their bills, and .will not'; hut as fast as they stick bills on,our bulletin board,'we .will cover them tip with hills of onr own.
