The dwelling house of Hy man "Wcstbrook, Esq. two miles below Ding man's Choice, Pike county, Pa., together with every tiling in the house, was destroyed by fire, on Saturday laEt. We learn that tho fire originated from the bake oven. Mr. W's house is insured in the Monroe Mutual for $2,000. We had the pleasure and honor of a call this morning from his Excellency Gov. Curtin, and tho Hon. "Win. B. Man. The care and anxiety consequent upon a faithful and conscientious discharge of the duties devolving upon the Gov. for the last four eventful years, have made somewhat of an impression upon his health nod looks. But we were much gratified to find him in possession at present o both good health and spirits. The coun Y 1 - - i . try nas Jong since learned to loot upon liim as being in every respect a man and a patriot. May he live long to enjoy his well-earned honors. Win. B. Man has long ably discharged the duties of District Attorney of Phila., and is again the Union candidate for re election, and we have no doubt that he will be triumphantly successful, as he do Ecrves to be.

Should the werze trial not progress faster then it did last week, several months will be consumed id bringing the proceedings to a close, as only .half a dozen of the more theri 130 witnesses have, as yet been exam ined. The Commission give the defense the greatest latitude for axamination. Robert H. Xellogg-, who was one of the prisoners in Andersonville, testified as to the loathsome condition of the prison, when he, with 4000 others, arrived there, in May, 1864; the men were almost skeletons, dirty, half-starved and diseased ; that firingat men for approaching the dead line was frequent. He also states that he had gone to the stream to wash his hands, when a shot was directed at him, but luckily missed ; and that nearly ann nut. of the 400 who were taken himself to Andersonville, died in a few days after they were paroled.

EEurder at Easton. We learn by the last issue of the Jour nal, that a man named John E. M. Steen, was murdered at the house of Wm. Smith, in Easton, about 10 o'clock, by rcter Wellers and Geo. Hutman. It appears that the murdered man was a gambler, and visited Easton for the purpose of wit nessing the trials of speed at the Institute grounds on Saturday next. Wellers asked Steen to tako a drink, which the latter refused, to. do. Wellers urged the matter and Steen again refused. Some other conversation took place, in which Wellers asked him whether he had not called him a son of a b : Steen an swered that he had, and that he did not take it back. With this Qeorge Hutman arose from a seat onlhe porch and among other things told Wellers to knock down or strike Steen or he would knock him (Wellers) down. Steen told Hutman to let him and Wellers alone ; that the affair was no business of his. With this Hutman struck Steen a very powerful blow, which knocked him sideways tow ard the corner of the house, at which .. ttt i j i- w.i time iveiicrs rusnca upon miu. urn Mere was seen to kick at the man. bteen died, in a few seconds after being struck, on the front steps of the house leading : i 1 ! 1 1 L I J 1 III. 1 1 i I -1 I M 1 1 1 1 mi. - -ii 1: u .i r 6""" 1 " J tor the perpetration of the deed and have not as yet been apprehended.

On the same day he arrived at and dined in Port Stanley, but fiiidiug no vessel there which answered his propose, he took the lake-shore road westward, intending to spend a few days harvesting among the farmers in the neighborhood. Before clim bing the bank he, being hot, resolved tore fresh himself by a bath in the1 rippling waves of Lake Erie. He fo.lt sick ip the water, and the next thing he remembers in finding himself naked on the sandy shore, with a consciousness of having drank rav enously of water to assuage his great thirst.
