Kill Destroyed.
On Friday morning last, about 2 o'-
clock, the valuable Flouring Mill of
Dairn Drain, on the Turnpike, half a
mile west of New Oxford, in this coun
ty, was destroyed by fire, with all its
contents, consisting of probably 1000
bushels of wheat, 100 barrels of flour,
and large quantities of corn and oats.
Indeed, the Mill is said to have been
full of grain—and not a dollar's worth
was saved ; nor was there any insurance
on building or contents.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
There was no work done in the Mill
after 8 o'clock, and no fire in the stove.
The fire was -first discovered by the
Miller sleeping in the Mill, and such
progress had the flames already m‘de
that hwtas compelled to jump out of a
second story window to save his life.
The loss falls heavily on the owner,
Mr. Diehl, and the renter, Mr. Joseph
Stough, whose books wore burnt, with
a number of papers of some value.
Lecture&
The Lecture before the Young Men's
Christian Aseociation, on Monday even
ing last, was delivered, by Rev. R. S.
Gams, of Emmitaburg.
The last Lecture of the series will be
delivered this evening, at 7 o'clock, in
the German Reformed Church, by D.
WILLS, Esq. Subject—" The North West
Passage—its Votaries and its Victims."
iiiirßev. J. R. Wassrza has consented
to preach a Sermon before the Chr.
Ass. to Young Men, on Sunday evening,
the 28th inst. The Young men of the
Borough, and elsewhere, will make a
note of this.
Disorderly Condiust.
On Wednesday night lust the citizens
of the lower end of Chambersbu rg street
were annoyed to rather a serious ex
tent by A party of hungry, and we sap
po-se, drunken rowdies. We understand
that Mrs. Foulk, in the absence of her
husband, was frightened from her house
rear midnight, and sought shelter and
protection from her neighbors. Tho
provision house of Mrs. Potter Was
found miss* a ham, and a neighboring
hen-roost was broken into, but the
scamps found it vacant. This is rather
a high-handed game, and we hope the
authorities will see that there is a stop
put to it.—Sterr.
ifirThe common ity generally hope so.
The Pure Article.
There is so much eariay of liquors
now-a-days—so much of the spurious
turned out, even at prices which should
secure the good—that comparatively
few persons know where to purchase a
genuine article. Still, there are estab
lishments where reliable brands 'of
brandies, wines, whiskies, &e., may be
bad, and among those we confidently
class that of E. P. MIDDLETON & BRO.,
No:s North Front street, Philadelphia,
—espital business men ,of obliging dispo
sition and high integrity. We commend
their advertisement, in annther column,
to the attention of our readers. Their
stock embraces numerous varieties and
grades of liquors, inan3' of them old and
pure as the best. judge in that line could
wish—with, of course, the kinds which
enter into more common consumption.
Messrs. E. P. M. & Bro. will fill any
number of orders from this county.
State Capitol Bindery.
Attention is directed to the adver
tisement, in another column, of Gr.o. A.
Baooaa, " State Capitol Bindery," liar

execute all orders in his line with taste
and haste, and as cheaply as any other

A Good Peat
On Wednesday morning last it was
communicated in Heidlersburg that
some Will Geese had settled in a field
of Samuel Gilliland's, about a mile and
$ fourth distant. That indomitable
Democrat, Isoob C. Pittenturif, seized
his rile sad ran the entire distance un

The election in this Borough on Fri
day last passed off very quietly, and
resulted in a much i‘ closer shave" than
usual. It will be seen that several
of the Democratic candidates came
within an inch of being elected. If the
Opposition majority shall continue to
dwindle away as it has for several years,
the natural result must be a Democrat

The BaltimoruSun of Friday week says
officer llndgins, of tho middle district
police, yesterday arrested a man named
John Bodzman, on suspicion of selling
puddings made from the flesh of dogs.
The officer was walking up Gay street,
when he met a boy named Kalb, who
had two dog skins in hie possession.—
Suspecting something wrong, be took
the lad before Justice McAllister, where
he stated that be obtained the skins
from Mr. Bodzman, of No. 12 Walker
street. In answer to a question froin
the magistrate, he said that, the flesh of
the dugs was made into puddings and
sausages, which were sold in the Fell's
Point Market. A warrant was then
issued for the arrest of Bodzman and
placed in the hands of the Meer who
arrested him. In the house he found 2
pots of dog lard secreted in the fire
place, and in the cellar he found two
hindmlnartera of a dog. On being ta
ken before the magistrate he said that
he had the consumption, (although he
looked very little like it,) and that ho
eat four dogs within the last. four weeks.
He denied that he sold the puddings.—
The magistrate held him to bail in the
sum of $BOO for a further hearing.

good share of bodily as well as mental
vigor, the gentleman parried off the
blows, retreated to the house, armed
himself with a good shilkdah, and being
re-inforced by a couple of reverend
friends, one with a grin and the other
with a pitchfork, oompelled the
ante to return without effecting the
settlement in the manner they had
proposed.

QIIINDARO, Kansas, Thursday, March
11.—The election of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, so far as
heard from, has passed off quietly. In
Leavenworth county a Douglas Demo
cratic ticket was put in the field, but
was beaten by five to one by the regu
lar free State ticket. In Jefferson coun
ty, a "bolting" Free State ticket was
run, because the regular ticket was too
radical to snit some parties; but the
latter was elected. In nearly all the
other counties there was no opposition
to the regular free State ticket, the
pro-slavery men refusing to go into the
election. There being substantially no
opposition, the freo State vote was not
quite as heavy as on the 4th ofJanuarv.
It is estimated at about nine thousand.
Sr. Louts, March 17.—The Leaven
worth correspondent of the Leader
says that the free State vote for dele-
Fates to the Constitutional convention
in that, city, amounted to 650, against
1,196 polled for State °Moors on Janua
ry 4th last..
Descent upon an Aristocratic Gambling
House—Row the Officer went is —SettP
with tJ&e Keeper—Elegant Apparatus
Seized, &c.—Sergeant Crofts, of the
Mayor's office, with is squad of men, last
night made a descent upon a first-class
gambling-house, kept by Charles Ran
son and Geo. Cohan, at No. 61 Walker
street. The place was a private resi
dence, fine in external appearance, and
elegantly_ furnished.
The Sergeant placed seven men in the
street, ready for any emergency, it:d
rang the bell. The door was opened by
a negro, and. Mr. Crofts walked into
the hall.
" Wbat do you want ?" demanded
Comm
" I want to see Mr. Ranson," replied
the officer; " I have a little business
with him."
Caesar goes to a door at the end of
the hall and gave throe raps. No re
sponse. Caesar raps upon the glass
three times. Tho officer now goes to
the door where Caesar is, and in a mo
ment Mr. Ranson steps out. On per
ceiving whom he had to deal with, ho
immediately clinches him, and there is
a scuffle of short duration, in which Mr.
Ranson is seated in the chair in the hall
by the sergeant, not in the most gentle
niunr.er, and then Crofts and Birney go
into the next room.
Upon entering the next room they
found all they expected to find, only
upon a more elegant plan. Thu place
was furnished in n luxuriant manner;
the tables were loaded with wines 4ml
refreshments served up in the best
style, and a faro bank, and various
gambling operations were 111 full blast.
- There was a scene as soon as the offi
cers showed their stars. The men pre
sent were all well dressed—apparently
respectable; some of them grey "mired,
and all of' them terribly . frightened.—
They begged not to be arrested ; their l
standing in community would be un
paired ; their families would be degrad
ed. Some of them said they had never
before been in againbling-house,and all
protested solemnly that if the officers
would not arrest - them, they would ap
pear at the Mayor's office this morning,l
and give an account of themselves. On
this promise they wore allowed to go.
• Ranson, the only proprietor present,
was arrested. The faro batik and other
apparatus were seized, and arc said to
be the most costly ever taken - by the
police. There were two boxes of solid
silver; and, among other things, the
officer found 820 in money in the drawer,
but every one present disclaimed the
ownership.
Ranson this morning gave bail in the
sum of 81,500 before the Mayor. Only
two of the persons present redeemed
their promise and appeared nt the City
Hall to give an account of themselves.
One of them was a New Haven man,
who was found in a front room. Ho
declared that he did not know that it
was a gambling-house, "though," added
he, " 1 might have had apresumption of
what was going on."—N. Y. be. Post.
Almost a Swindler.—A short time
since, a man by the name ofSchlessing
or was trying to sell steel pens to some

rested by Sheriff Brown, on two Bench
Warrants from Clinton county. lie
had a bearing before Squire Llamman,
who held him to bail for the sum Of

paid the money and cleared out. But
ho was afterwards arrested by another
party, and brought back to town ; when
he came back there were about a dozen
warrants and constables from all parts
of the county. lie was committed to
jail till it was decided who had the best
right to him. He has had several hear
ings, but nono have been satisfactory,
and ho is still in jail waiting patiently
to see what is to be done with him.—
Wo understand that not one of the
many charges against him can be fully
sustained —Oh a athersburg Spirit.

" uneasy lies the head that wears a

no doubt thought that uneasier lies the
