Destructive Fire.
Our town was visitc-il 011 Friday night
last by another destructive tire, which
broke out about 1 I o'clock in West Mar
ket street, somewhere in ihe rear of Schell's
kitchen—at what point it is almost impos
sible to ascertain, as no two persons can he
found to agree as to the precise spot.
There was sufficient wind at the time to
spread the flames with great rapidity, and
in a few minutes fSchell's buildings, Ilenry
Kulp's dwelling and front building, a small !
building occupied as a barbershop, owned
by M. Buoy, all eastward of Snail's;
and McClintic's cabinet warerootn and
lumber, and Daniel Firhthorn's brick
dwelling on the west, were mostly a livid
sheet of tlaine, and with the exception of
the latter, in a few hours reduced to ashes.
The wind fortunately lulled in the height
of flic tire, and thus enabled the occupants
of buildings across the street to prevent
their roofs from catching. Buov's brick
building occupied by Dr. N. Belford, was
burning at the roof repeatedly, as was also
the frame building in the rear, and nothing
but the most untiring exertions prevented
these from being destroyed and the flames
from spreading to the Democrat office,
telegraph office and post office. On the
other side there was also great intrepidity j
manifested in efforts to preserve Ficlltorn's
buildings, as had the flames once obtained
the mastery there, A. Ulvmyer's shop, and
probably his fine dwelling, would have
shared the same fate of those destroyed.
The hose was on the ground early, but
•we regret to say that the water was again
•Stopped off, and when let on had so little
head as to prevent the use of the pipe.
J lie hose was accordingly used to conduct
water into the engine, and almost useless as
that concern is. the strong hands and wil
ling hearts of the hoys who manned it,
ilk! most efficient service—moving from
one point to another as exigency required,
and for two hours exposing themselves to
a heat and smoke that drove others i hun
dred feet away. Lines were repeatedly
formed to obtain a supply of water with
buckets, and although ladies and even little
'boys willingly fell into the ranks, hundreds !
who might have given good aid. preferred
to stand idle spectators of the scene.
Wide from the inconvenience aitendiiiff
such disasters, the actual loss is not very
heavy, being in great part covered bv in
surance in the Cumberland \ alley Com
pany, and may he stated as follows :
Barber shop, owned by Major Buoy,
insured for $250. Criffiih, a colored man 1
who occupied the budding, lost nearly all
his stock.
llcnry Kulp, Esq., had both buildings
burnt, and a portion of his furniture, Ac
j\o insurance, hut v\ ill !• made up in part
by voluntary contributions from our citi
zens.
Sehell's house was unoccupied, and with
n bottling machine .and all the out buildings,
was totally consumed. Insurance *11)00.
Me' 'initio's warerooiu was insured for
SSOO, lumber lor s2fiis, furniture for $"'0(1,
and a general insurance of S2OO. The
furniture was mostly got out, some of
it however in a damaged state. Mr. McC.
is fully insured, hut will still he a loser to
some extent by a difficulty in procuring
reasoned lumber and a want of suitable
rooms for the sale of Ins furniture.
Mr. I iohiliorn has att insurance on his
property and furniture, hut suffers consid
erable loss by petty depredations, Are.
Dr. Belford had some furniture injured
oy removal and water. Several others,
ivho considered themselves in danger, re- i
moved various articles, probably List some,
and are put to much trouble in restoring
order.
It is generally believed that lite fire was
•the work of an incendiary, though there j
J J no evidence to show that such was the
ease. The buildings were all close! v con
nected, all of eom'-ustihle material, and of
course liable to destruction whenever a
spark, either intentionally or accidentally
applied, obtained any ht.njvv iy.
! The Cumberland Valley Insurance Com
pany lias been particularly unfortunate in
j losses by lire here within a few years, the
! amount now exceeding (including the Lu
i theran Church insurance, which thev re
i fuse to pay) #IO,OOO.
j r?T We are indebted to Messrs. Cooper,
Broil head, James C. Jones, Seward,.
! Smith, and others of the li. S. Senate,
and to a number of members ®f the House
< of Representatives, for sundry speeches.
A new rifle company, called the Bu
-1 ehanan Corps, lias been lately formed at
Lancaster. Each member is to have a
lancet presented to liitn by the sage of
Wheatland, wherewith to let out demo
cratic blood.
Lie* On the 20th January, Oov. lligler
vetoed a supplement to the act incorporat
i ing the Hanover Branch Railroad, because
no limitation as to lite amount of the bonds
or obligations had been fixed in the hill ;
I and on the Ist of April, Co v. lfigler
signed a hill for another company con
taining the very clause he had vetoed in
January !
CONXECTIEI T ELECTION. —The locofo
cos of this State, having in lite first place
I aided in getting up a temperance excite
ment, when the election came on turned
round and voted for their candidates with
out a why or wherefore as to liquor, and
| with the help of wiiigs who opposed all
; of their own creed who had committed
themselves in favor of the Maine Law,
succeeded in electing a locofoco Coventor
and locofoco legislature. Our neighbor of
the Democrat, we see, considers this result
as " encouraging to the democracy,"'' and
in one aspect as" esjuciaUy gratifying
While the hill authorizing a loan of
8850,000 to complete the North Branch
('anal was before the House, savs the
Independent Whig, Mr. dossier of Phila
delphia moved an amendment that the
work he commenced by the first of June
and that no part of the money should be
used J'ur any other purpose than that '
staled in the bill! This provision was
unacceptable to the friends of the hill, and
it was lost. Yeas 25—navs 51. 'l'itis,
we believe, is- the first time the Legislature
have, by any action, either positive or
negative, winked at a dishonest disburse
incut oi the public funds. The House.it
is needless to sav, has a loco toco majority
of sixteen ; the precise vote by which the
proposed amendment was lost.
Corruption on lite I'ublic Works.
The Easton Argus—a ferocious Locofoco
paper —acknowledges in a recent number the
corruption which is known to exist on the pub
lie works. It says :
" Any change af all must be for the better, 1
because the present system is as corrupt as it
can possibly be made. We do not wish to charge j
corruption to any particular otficer, but that
there is a vu-1 amount ut iSalphinisui and favor
ite is in shown, is beyond dispute. " Figures,* 1
it is said, " won't lie," hut the figures in the
published reports, do lie, when they represent
the public works a, being in a prosperous con
dition. 'A', see it here on the Delaware
Division, and we say it without fear of treadin"
on anybody's toes or corns, that Pie Stale on this
tfirision, is ROBBED —mo-t shamefully HORDED
and ru'XDKKEK, and some of the men in au
thority know it. Due ol these days we will
take occasion to refer to the figures. In the
meantime let hope that the whole Canal
Hoard will he abolished, and some honest mode
of managing our public works, substituted in
its place."
THE BEHUS COEKTT PRESS—also good Loco
foeo authority—has an article of a similar tenor,
coupled with the new j. - ."il loan to com
plete the North Branch Car.ai. We quote a
few choice passages :
" The Public Works, are in the hands of a
set of brigands who steal, and rob the pcoplo, to
the amount of millions per annum."
" Israel Painter, within a few months after
his retirement from ofliee, w ith Win. IS. Foster
and others, olfcr to pay into the public treasury
a yearly sum, ranging from our hundred and
ItJhj to three hundred thousand dollars more than the
(' u:niiivuu'i ulth frtr ret ru ed during their continu
ance in office. Do those gentlemen suppose •
that the people are so blind as not to sec by j
I this, that the state is annually swindled, and
that they know where, how, and by whom it is
done, but when in office, made no efiort to
prevent it."
" A debt, for whatever purpose contracted, is
a curse to the people, and with the experience
<d history, and our own, we arc justified in
saying that the man in power who can prevent j
it and does not, is unfaithful to his trust, re
creant to his duty, and wilfully inflicts an in
jury upon his constituents which he can never
remove. 1 his is precisely our position at
present. Why not adhere 'to the prudent and j
■ satisfactory act of ist't, in regard to the North j
Branch Canal. arid it there was no surplus in
ihe Treasury to carry out the intentions of the j
Legislature, would it not have been the. pride of
Col. IligleCs Mmiiiistralirn to have made a sur
plus, by economy, and sti ict accountability, and 1
thu- have saved his administration from the
loiil hint of having added, to our State Debt, i
more than u million of dollars."
Thompson's Reporter recommends the refu
sal of all notes corresponding to the following .
description, no matter of what denomination it
may lie, or what bank it may purport to be is
sued by :
s's. Centre vignette three females, agricultu
ral implements, sheaf of grain, ship on stocks,
Ate., with a round die containing the figure 5 on ;
each side of the vignette—on the upper right !
corner the letter V with the portrait of Lafay- j
.tte in the centre, and FIVE on the lower corn- !
cr; on the left end, upper comer, the word j
FIVE, and the letter V on the lower corner, j
with Franklin between ; anchor, Sec., between
the signatures; engraving weil done. These ,
notes originally belonged to the old Citizens' ]
Bank of Maine, but they have been altered to a j
great many banks, and will continue to be al
tered to others, and we therefore wish our sub
; .fibers to remember their description. They
are. well engraved, and generally neatly altered, ,
and are therefore the more dangerous to those
not acquainted with them. '
i Dtsim rnvf. Fire.- Twelve houses were
j burned down at Hannibal, Mo., on the 29th ult.
I The fire broke out in the stable of Messrs.
! Shout &. Davis, who had twenty-five horses
I burnt up. Samuel Moss lost $2,000 worth of
| bacon.
The Monongahela river last week rose 35 feet
j at Monongahela city, the highest flood ever
I known there, and did a great deal of damage.
! Houses, barns, saw mills, grain and hay stacks,
> boats and lumber, have been floated beyond
the reach of their owners, and a number of
' bridges carried away or injured.
i A Great Newspaper.—The New York Daily
Tribune, of last Saturday, published a supple
! mental sheet of 24 columns in addition to its
usual double sheet—making 72 closely printed
columns in all—3B of which were filled with
advertisements. The publishers say they expect
yet to bo obliged to print a supplement every
day.
Gov. Kossuth and suit arrived at Washington
city on Tuesday, from the South, and took up
: their quarters al thc National Hotel. Kossuth
I expresses no disappointment that his reception
j at the South should have been less hearty and
j cordial than at the North and YVest, and he ap
j pears to bear his herculean labors without be
coming care-worn or jaded. He will remain
' here but a day or two, as it is his purpose to
' visit Boston and f'rovidenoe early in the coining
! week.
The 44 Maixe Law" iv New Brcxswic k.—
' A liquor bill, of even mote stringency thai, the
j Maine law, has passed both the House of As
sembly and the Legislative Council of New
: Brunswick, and is now only waiting the sanction
) of the Governor, which it is understood will be
! given to it. The law is not to go into effect un
| ul June, 1953, in order to allow those who have
: capital invested 111 (lie traffic to get rid of their
I stock without pecuniary loss.
Convei tktt Ei.kctios'. —-An election for
Governor and Legislature took place in Con
necticut la-t Monday, and resulted in the- choice
of Thomas 11. Seymour, the Loco loco candi
date for Governor, by about GOD majority. The
opposition have also elected 14 Senators and
the Wings 7. In the House, the opposition
have 35 majority. This gives them 42 votes on
joint ballot, and secures an opposition l". S.
j Senator to till the present vacancy. '1 iie Maine
Law entered largely into the canvass, and thc
result is held to be a defeat of that measure.
Taking the Democrats themselves for au
thority, not one of their candidates can be
elected. One says Air. Buchanan cannot get
the vote of his own State, and stands no chance
in the world for New York. Another, that
Gen. Cass cannot get a vote in thc South.
Another, that if Mr. Douglass can get Illinois,
it is as much as he can do. Another, that Gen.
lloiMou cannot get an electoral vote this side
of the Sabine. it would not become us to
question those who know more than we do.
Besides, ue are very willing to believe them all.
The IVnnß\lvanian, the great gun of
loeolocoisni in this IStaie, is at present en- :
gaged in proving that 44 ruin and deniocra- i
cy" are inseparable.

Thc Mysterious Rapfikgs.—The cause of
the mysterious breaking of windows in a house
in Vine street, in the Northern Liberties, has
been discovered, and the evil removed. Instead
of the windows breaking, as was presumed to
be the case, by some unknown hand, it has been
found that a little bound girl in the family,
aged about twelve years, created the excitement
in the house, and occasioned the destruction.
The manner in which she operated was certain
ly very adroit; and not until she confessed to
the act was it known how the damage was done,
notwithstanding Lieut. Nutt and several of his
officers, and some of the friends of the family,
were watching the house, inside and out. The
little girl stated, after being closely interrogated,
that she had thrown stones, potatoes, onions,
and clothes-hooks through tlie windows, from
within ami without. The reason she broke the
1 windows she alleged she did not know. On one
occasion, during the week, the family hccused
the iittle girl of doing the mischief, but she
strongly denied the accusation, and wept bitter
ly. From her statements it was then thought
' the missiles came from another quarter, and she
went to the kitchen, where another servant girl
1 was at work, with another person in the same
I room. Here she contained crying; and at a
moment when too others were not watching
her, she threw a stone and broke a window in
the kitchen. This added more to the mystery,
i and of course the inmates of the house were
i much frightened. The whole number of panes
|of glass broken was sixty-eight. On Saturday
the little giil was taken to the Almshouse, from
whence she came three years ago, to be bound
to the family referred to.— Philadelphia Ledger.
