DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-
A destructive lire broke out on Sunday
afternoon a iitde before live o'clock, at
the leather store of W. W. Keen & Co.,
near the corner, of Chcsnut st. and Straw
berry alley. It is probable that the flames
had been smothering for several hours, as
when first discovered, the smoke burst
forth in dense, black volumes front the
windows of the store and drying-houses
in die alley. The State House bell was
run?, .iiid in a few minutes several en
nines were on the spot, and every exer
tion was made to subdue the lire. It had,
however, previou.-ly obtained so much
headway, that the flames soon blazed
through the upper windows and roof, com
municating at the same time with the
front premises on Chcsnut street. At
half past 5 o'clock, a portion of the front
wall and a side wall in Strawberry alley
fed with a tremendous crash, partly out
wards, while a portion tumbliug on a
frame building back, crushed almost to
the earth. The scene for a few moments
was a fe arful one the rush being general
to escape from the still falling ruins. A
fireman in the midst of the alarm, while
standing on an engine, took off his hat
and waved it in the air, by which; action,
the assembled crowd were apparently as
sured that no live had been lost.
Several portions of wall and roof con
tinued to . fall during the next hour, but
without injury to any one. Before six
o'clock, tiie torrents of water that were
poured upon the burning mass, produced
an evident effect, and the conflagration
was soon after subdued, although at one
time it blazed many feet high above all
the adjoining roofs, and over a considera
ble extent of ground. We have since
learned that on the first falling ol the wall,
several firemen were injured one seri
ously; but ahhough rumors were circula
ted to the c fleet that one or two lives had
been lost, yet we could not ascertain that
they were well founded. The building
in which the fire originated was wholly
deslroyed, and several of the adjoining
houses were more or less injured, cither
by fire or wafer. Great credit is due to
the firemen for their active and efficient
exertions.
The Chief Surgeon of the Fire De
partment was on the ground, and. render

On the 1 0th of November last, when

foggy and cloudy weather. The birds
have the distinct characteristics of their
race, but bore no note or label about
them. These adventurous travellers were
no doubt blown off t'leir direct course,
by a heavy gale of wind, and in the wild
waste of waters of waters over which
they were wandering, they gladly came
down on the first object which offered
them a restiug place. They are now in

LOSS OF TIIE BRUNETTE.'
Letters from New Orleans, dated Jan.
23d, give an account of the loss of this
fine boat, Captain Smith, at Tunica Bend,
on her way up to this port, with the fol
lowing cargo:
52 hhds sugar, 200 bbls molasses, Bag
aley & Smith 150 do, 52 hhds sugar,
Burbridge, Wilson & Co. 30 do, 115
bbls molasses, Hutchison & Co., and
some other small items not mentioned.
She struck a "Polk Stalk" about 1 o'
clock in the morning(datc not mentioned,)
and was immediately run ashore where
she sunk in shallow water. 50 hhds of
sugar had been got out in a flat,' but was
damaged by a raiu falling at the time.
.Most ol ncr cargo would oc saved in a
damaged state. Her Engines, Cabin fur
niture, and upper works generally would
also be saved; ?
The boat and cargo, were fully insured
in this city and one or two Philadelphia
offices. The Wyoming took the clerk of
the Brunette from the wreck to New Or
leans. Pitts. Gaz.
FROM SANTA FE.
The St. Joseph's (Mo.) Gazette con
tains the following extract of a letter from
Santa Fe. The St. Louis Reveille places
no reliance whatever on the rumor. It
says: "We place no reliance whatever on
the rumor. A city has never yet been
occupied by an invading force without si
milar panics being spread. A strange cli
mate, confinement, and a lack of usual
comforts, we think, will sufficiently ac
count for any illness which may prevail."
There is a rumor in the city fo-day tnat
the Spaniards have poisoned the Hoar and
meal used by the army, which is said to
be the cause of so many deaths. The
poison consists of some vegetable sub
stance, with not enough strength in it to
produce instant death, but just enough to
derange the digestive organs, and prevent
medicine from operating on the system.
If the rumor should prove true, it will be
difficult to prevent acts of violence. If
true, the wretches must die.

31) JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT.
Lewis C Levin, Esq , the distinguish
ed advocate of Temperance, slated at a
meeting of upwards uf three thousand
persons, that he should not have been a
ble to address them, but for the use of
Jayne's Expectorant. He said that he
had been laboring under a hoarseness and
severe oppression of ihe cl.est, that he
had purrhaed some of the Expeciorant
the day before, which had relieved him
in a few hours and he now found him
self, conirary to his own expectation, a
ble to address the multitude.
The Proprietor could add hundred of
other names equally respectable, who
recommend Jayne's Expectosant as su
perior to jill other medicines for the cure
of all the various Pulmonary diseases.
Prepared only by Dr D JAYNE. No.
8 south third street. Philadelphia, nhera
all his other valuable preparations may
be obtained.
J V N E'S EXPECTOR A NT We
j esteem it a pleasure to be able to recom
mend this medicine as the best calculated
tor the purpose of curing coughs, colds,
sore iliroat, asthma and al! affections of
the lungs. From a long personal acquain
tance with Dr Jayne we know that he is
no quack and his medicines are not nos
trums of the modern cry up; but are the
result of his long experience as a practi
sing physician and the expense of great
labor. Hartford (Conn.) Daily Review.
30) JAYNE'S VERMIFUGE has glad
dened the heart of many a mother, who
had experted soon to follow her child to
ihe grave, but found it lestoted to life
rosy health by this celebrated specific
It expels worms without irritating the
coats of the stomach and bowels, and
combines the virtues of a tonic with,
those of an alterative. Neither the Ver
mifuge nor the Expectorant hasa rival
in the whole range of the materia tnedi
ca, for diseases to which each is adapted-
THE MONEY is always returned if
Jayne's .Carminative"" does rot produce
ihe most decided bene-fit in Cholics, sick
Hpa-Iaehc, finding Pain?, Diarrhoea." &
all derangemeoiof the s tomach & bowel?.'
IT NEVER FAILS. The American
Hair Dye never fails when used as dr-.
ret ted, to change the hair from any col
or, lo a beautiful auburr. or jet black.
PILES Half the cases .f Piles are'
caused by the irritation of smalf worms.
Jayne's Vermifuge cures all such cases
by removing the worms and imparling a
healthy tone to ihe bout's;
ASTHMA or PHTHISIC is rarVsrd
by a lodgement of ihe pli'ern or murn
in the air-cells, wuirii obstruct Hie pas
