A:The skylight was dashed in, and after a few squirts the fire was got under. It was a narrow escape, however. The place where tho fire took was dif- Emit of access. It does appear that chimneys are not half built, even in public buildings. had the Ere caught in the night tho building must have gone to ashes.

In ,coin• psny with several others he was watching the glide in what was supposed to be, and ordinarily would be, a perfectly secure place, when n )og Jumped out of the slide some rods above him, and shot like lightning down the bank where he Stood, striking him and flinging hi:n about a hundred feet down the mountain, Ilis log was broken and Mortal internal injuries itifliOed. He trat borne to his daugbteris house, wht=re ho died about ono o'clock, in tlankternoon. Mr. Benjamin was unOersally respected wher ever known. His loss will be keenly felt by his family Snd deeply mourned by this entire com munity. His ago was about 34 years. The fu neral which was larghly attended, took place on Suhday. A man named Butler was severely hurt •by the, log whi.oh killed kr. B. t CotatTs,—The 'Novel»ber term otOyer I:Terminer end Quarter Besidetti ,eprined Monday, Nov: 30„tilt., Judge Williams presiding. Owing to the condition of the roads, not enough of the Brand Jurors were present to do business, and the panel was not made up until Tuesday, when fifteen were present. Not a very heavy business was done, most of the bills being rc turned "'lgnoramus." In the Bik/and thou due the accused was convicted, and' sentenced' o five years in the l astern Penitentiary. Tho chief interest seemed to center' in the easel of bribery" which were expected to come be fore the Grand Jury. But three true bills were returned out of the lot, and but one case—Com monwealth vs. -Daniel • Pitts—was tried, the cases of Phelps, and Powers going over to Janu ary Term. The trial of Pitti excited_ considera ble attention. The material evidence in the ease, as read to the Jury by Judge Williams, was very brief and pointed. Tho principal witness for the Commonwealth, D. 8. Peters, tertified, that on the Friday before the October elehien the ac cused called at his house and asked him what he was going to do on election day. , Witness re plied that ho did net intend to do anything, but would stand neutral.. Theaceused said he had been sontto him to get him to votefor Mackey and work for the whole ticket. He then offered Peters $5 in compensation, and asked him to shut up his shop on that day. Peters said ho would not sell his veto and would not work as requested. The accused replied that he did not want to buy witness's vote, and more to the same effect; and asked witness to go - up to his shop. After reaching the shop Pitts again proposed that Peters'should vote and work for Mackey, and again offered him money. The defence called F. W. Clark, Esq., who was Present with Pitts when the conversation-briefly related above took place. Mr. Clark's testimony differed from Mr. Peter's only in this—that Pitts asked peters to vote and work for Macke' if ho could do so "conscientiously." In other essential realm is the witness for the defence corroborates the testimony of the witness for the CoMmon wea lth. District Attorney Mitchell °Period for the Commonwealth briefly, clearly and temper ately. Messrs. Elliott and Sherwood follOwedfor the defence, making the best of a bad case. The closing argument for the Commonwealth was de livered by Wm. H. Smith Esq., end will add to his reputation as a rising man. It was clear, forcible and direct, avoiding, like Mr. Mitchell's, all appeal to partisan feeling or bias. The obarge of the Court was a model of brevity, clearness, and impartiality, as every one who heard it, we apprehend, will agree. The Jury, after an absence of aboilt • two hours, returned a verdict of guilty in marMer . and form as charged in the indictment." _Court then imposed a tine of $76 and costa u on the defendant, omitting the imprisonment, in his discretion, as the statute calls for both flee and imprisonment. We regard the sentence as being imposed with a just judgment and in good dis oration ; holding that the certainty, rat than the severity of punishment, has most rest aining effect. Wo have studiously avoided allusiop: to these bribery eases since the parties were held to answer. On the subject of frauds- upon the bal lot-box and the cerruption of electors we. have lainly spoken for years. The antic of the Court, and the verdict of the jury, ought to stand as a warning to men, without reference to party, that purity of the ballot will beprotected, without reference to the political or social posi tion, of the offender. But let ua remember another thing: Tho lic ensed in this case is not !wholly blamable.. Upon the politicians who hay taught for years that "all's fair in politics,"' he inception of anch of fences rests. is not in political; but whatever is fair in any legitimate business is fair in politics and in religion.
