Daemon OCCURRENCE.—The Buffalo Republic
leans that a few days since a house in the town of
Northbush, in Erie county„was entirely destroyed .
by tire and two children burned to death. Thu Is.
they and mother of the family, whose names were
Murk, went out its the evening to a neighbor's
house to see a sick person, leaving at home a ser.
yam girl and three children asleep. Shortly after
their departure the girl went to bed, thinking the
parents would soon return. On going to bed she
placed a light ed tallow candle on the rail of the bed
where the children were asleep. She was soon
asleep,and in the mem time the candle had burned
down, the grease 'tinning in every direction, and,
it is supposed, set fire to the bed clothing. The
girl was awakened by the flames, and jumped up
and took one oldie children out of the room and
pieced it iu safety ;but when she returned to get the
other two, the flames had so spread as to render •t
impossible to reach them, and in her unsuccessfdl
attempts to rescue them, her own clothing took fire
and she was so badly burned that her recoVery is
doubtful. The house was burned to the grour.d,
and in the ashes scarce a vestige of the remains of
the two children cObIJ be found.

Another Fire!
Several months having passed, without a visit
from the incendiary torch, our citizens were begin
ing to congratulate themselves upon the fact and to
hope that the last fire had °marred. On Saturday
night last about 12 o'clock, however, the stable in
the rear of the dwelling of Col. S. S. BAILEY was
dtscoiered to be on fire, And by the time the alarm
was given, was completely enveloped in flames,
communiceting to Dr. D. L. Sccrrr's barn and from
thence to the dwelling of N. J. Kzgura, on State
Street.
The two adjacent buildings, occupied by Wm.
Baines an I C. T. Swim, were entirely at the mer
cy of the flames, being built of wood, and in close
proximity. The dwelling of Major Cots, way
saved by extraordinary 'exertioda, favored by the
wind.
The wind, which blew almost a gale, was from
the North, and placed the buildings on the opposite
side of the street in much danger. The dwelling
of J. E. Gmuza was much scorched,as was the cor.
ner dwelling owned by Mrs. BULL. The wind
carried a perfect shower of coals, cinders, aid bla•
zing shingles, upon the root of the latter building,
and filling the air, and covering the ice in the river,
as far down as the Ba idge.
,The loss by this fire is considerable. Col. Rai
ley's bans contained a quantity of lone and plaster
which was damaged by the bre.
Mr KEILLEII was not insured—and the rapidity
with which the flames spread, prevented the remo
val of all his furniture, &c. The house next to Mr.
Keeler, was lately occupied by Wm. Anharober
lin, who hut partially disposed of the properly to
Wm. Briggs, who had that day moved into it.—
Mr. Briggs it will be recollected, was a heavy los
er by tire tire in October. He was nut insured, but
most 01 his geode were removed. Mr. Chamber
lin has an insurance upon the building in the Ly
coming Company.
The household goods in the next dwelling, own
ed occupied by C. T. Smith were mostly removed,
but in such haste as to cause great damage. Mr. S.
has an insurance upon both dwelling and goods
If this tire was the act of an incendiary, and , the
object was to cause the greatest possible amount of
damage the place to apply the match was well
chosen. North of the barn where the fire original
ed is a compact square of barns, dwellings, &c.,
and had the wind not been favorable, or bad it
been in the s opposite direction, there can hardly be
a calculation formed u to the extent over which die
tire would have ravaged.
Off' Our "consistent" neighbor, the Argut at

issues involved in the Gubernatorial contest in this
State We shall not stop to attempt to controvert
the position• taken in the lecture,becanse they seem
to be based upon one assumption, which is histori
cally Islas Before that paper attempts to convict us
of anconcistency, it should be certain that its state
ments of facts are true, even if its logic is lame. It
lays great stress upon the assertion, (•peaking of
the action of oui Stile Convention)"that the friends
of the Missouri Compromise in that convention of.
feted a resolution condemning Douglas' bill. Did
he forget that this resolution and its friends were
hooted out of the Convention r"
Now the facts show just the reverse of this. It
was a resolution infaoor of Douglas' bill, that was
" hooted out of the Convention." If then the logic
founded upon the misstatement of the Argus has
any force, we have a right to say that the action of
the Convention was hostile to the Nebraska out-
rage, and if an-expression at all, is a committal of
the party against it.

.yotettes Veto.
Go r.
Gov. Seymour has vetoed the liquor bill lately
passed by ,he NSw.Yorlt Legislature. The veto
message is long arid ably written. The objections
urged by the Governor to the bill are, in substance;
these : •
That the right of the citizen to be secure from un
reasonable searches, which is guaranteed to him
by the constitution, is violated by the provisins of
the bill, which authorizes, merely for the sake of
discovering evidenee of the possession of intoxica
ting liquors, intrusions sad searches in domicils,
biah it is not now lawful to break open and en
ter, 01/11111 in cue of murder and other heinous
IMIIII
That the seizure of liquors, followed by their for
feiture and destruction, as directed by the bill, is
contrary to that provision of the constitution which
forbids-the taking of private property ""'Without
compensation and due process of law."
That, contrary to the constitution, the bill com
pels persons suspected of offences against its 'pro
visions to become witnesses against themselves.
That the bill provides for pronouncing sentence
against persons suspeeseJ of being concerned in
the sale of intoxicating liquors, without the com•
plete proof, which, in other ctiminal cases, is al
ways required by law.
That the extreme severity of the provisions of
the bill will prevent its due execution in many
places, make it difficult everywhere, and finally,
in all probability, lead to the general neglect of its
enforcement.
An attempt was made in the Senate, to peas lb
bill by a constitutional majority, which tailed, and
the measure is now considered dead for the sea-
Edon
Small Pot.
This disease seems to be prevailing in several
townships in ibis County, causing great alarm and
consternation among our citizens. In Athens town
ship them have been many cases, and several
deaths. In Pike township, several cues have oc
curred, one family having lost several members,—
In;Rome we also learn there are several cases. In
Burlington, on Wednesday week, FISHER Loco,
an old and respectable citizen, lather of John F.
Long, Big , tell a victim to this disease. Mr. Lon°
had teen at Elmira, a short time since, and soon
after his return s was taken sick. Not being aware
of any exposure to small pox, he was not treated
for the disease, until too late.
Hitherto this place has escaped. But.ii is clear
ly the duty of our citizens to provide all possible
means of protection against its approach. Those
who have neglected vaccination, should at once
see that every member of the family is 'accinated,
while those whci have been should be re-vaccipat
ed, because it is an established fact, that in some
subjects, after a lapse of years, the virtue of theop•
elation appears to be lost.
