Terrible Calamiiy Four litres
A telegraphic despatch from Wilkesbarre,
on the 28th inst, gives information of a terri
ble disaster having occurred, on Saturday
night lust, at Brownstown, Bradford county,
iibout twenty miles below Towanda. A shan
ty, used by the contractors and laborers on the
extension of the North Branch Canal, caught
fire, aud Abraham Fisher and his son Henry,
two of the contractors, Mr, Flanagan, a su
perintendent, and Goldsmith, the cook, all per
ished in the flames. Nothing was left of the
building and its contents, and the charred re
mains of Mr. Fisher and his son were brought
down to Wdkesbarre yesterday. The elder
Mr, .Fisher was about forty-eight years of
ao-e, aud leaves a wife and three children liv
ing at Wilkesbarre. The son was a ydung

had lust reiurneu irom xowanua wun ms es

and this money was probably also consumed.
Thp origin of the fire is not known; but it is
probable that it was caused by lightning,
which might Jiave exploded the stock of.pow

Singular Disease.
The Annapolis correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, gives the following account of a
fatal disease which has appeared in that vi
cinity :
A disease is now raging in the county 01
Anne Arundel, between South and West riv- .
- . j
ers, which has proved to be as fatal as the
cholera. The early stage of it is marked by '
an eruption of the skin, a swelling of the ;
muscle of the throat, partaking of the char- j
acter of scarlet fever jn ehildnm ; and attcn-
dedaPParently,withveryslightfeve, There
is nothing alarming in this stage of ii, which
continues for three or four days, when sud
denly it fixes itself upon the vitals with a vio
lence and fatality which are arrested by noth
ing that has, as yet been tried. Dr. J. II.
Sellman, a physician of a very highly valued
professional reputation, in extensive practice,
and a citizen of the county beloved by all who
knew him, fell, most undxpectedly, a victim
to the disease. He leaves a widow and sev
en children to mourn their irreparable loss.
Several of his brother's servants, whom he
had attended, had died with this disease, and
from whom it is said he thought he had ta
ken it.
Or The Allegheny Enterprise tells of a
singular occurrence which took place a day
or two since, at the house of Mr. Conlin, on
the Franklin Road, about 14 miles out.

Progress on the Eric, Canal. Up to the

The -encral appropriation bill of 1850

authorized the employment of oilier dcrl
to do this very work which Locofoco Clerics
were paid to do years azo. Whatman

Answer us, ye advocates of the by-gone
administrations! How came this about?
Why were these Clerks allowed to pock-

leave the work to be paid for again?
Why did your State-officers stand by and
