FIRE! FIRE

BY accounts from Cincinnati It appears that
on the first of this inst a remarkable fine house.
nearly finished, owned by Judge ]. C. Symmes.
at North Bend, was consumed BY ERE, together
with all his papers, which were Of immense con.
sequence both to himself and the public. His
loss is stated at s 10000. An act was passed
during the last session of Legislature for the
preservation of the original field notes of
Symmss purchase" the intent of which is, in
ell probability, frustrated by the aforementioned
calamity.
1t also appears from an account IN the Sprcta-
tor, OF Marietta. that on the Sd INST through the
mismanagement of a negro, in accidentally FIR
ing some hemp, dreadful conAagration ensued,
which consumed the buildings on B,ennerhas-
sett's island. together with large quantity of
hemp. furniture, apparel. tools, &c including
$50 bushels of hempseed. That elegant seat, so
beautifully described by Mr. Writ, on Burr's
trial. is now ruined waste, and (says the Mari
eta Editor)" all human probability will ne
yer gain be resusciia ted."
A plate of silver, apparently very pure, weigh
ing 3 doll rs IS grains, has been made out of42
