FIRE. About 8 O'Clock on Saturday
evening fire broke out in one of the new
stores on the west side of Washington
street near the Old South Meeting house.
The lower story was occupied as dry
goods shop by Messrs. Shorey g. Davis
IN which it is supposed the fire caught,
by being communicated from the stove to
some cotton batting which lay near it.
The shop had been shut about two hours
when the fire was discovered, and the
whole interiour of the room and all the
goods, we understand, were entirely de-
stroyed. The rooms over the shop were
occupied by family, and were also much
injured. The situation Of this building
was very near to one of the city reservoirs,
the mouth of which was so firmly closed
with ice that it was near quarter of an
hour before it could be opened so as to
obtain the water.-Bost. C0ur.
+ A suit was lately brought in Providence

out of the water, and that the defendant
killed the animal out of mere spite. The
Jury, under these circumstances, returned
verdict Of fifteen dollars damages and
costs.
MANUFACTURING Town OF PArTER-
SON, N. ]. The Trenton American
says, that twenty years ago this place
was hardly known. In 1868 its popula-
ton was about 800. In 1920, by the in
PRODUCTION of manufactures, it had increas-
ed to 1887. Now it is computed at 5000,
the whole of which directly or indirectly
sustained by the manufoc tories. There
are seventeen cotton factories, employing
10000 spindles; one duck factory, with
sixteen hundred spindles; one Sitting and
rolling mill and nail factory, making
yearly 95I 200 pounds of nails. The cot
on factories consume annually, 100000
pounds of cotton, and the flax factory
100000 pounds of flax. Beside these,
there are ten turner's, mill wrights and
machine shops, an iron and brass foundry,
one saw mill, and an umbrella factory.
There are in the town five fancy dry
goods stores, two hard ware stores, thirty
large and twenty-five small grocery stores,
three dry goods stores, eleven millenaries,
four or FIVE hatters shops There are two
Banks, which are inadequate to the wants
Of the place. Vacant house lots, twenty
five by one hundred feet, are worth from
200 to 500 dollars, and in business streets
two thousand dollars have been paid
Such are the advantages which manufac-
lures have brought Patterson.
LIFE IN WASHINGTON. Jackson men
and Adams men, at the National Metrop-
oils, appear the present winter to agree
in one thing which is, to enjoy them
selves. At parties both can meet on heu-
trail ground and forget the animosities that
political Conflicts have engendered.
The first party, given by Miss Porter,
the lady of the Secretary of War, is said
to have been splendid affair. Mrs. P.
is very accomplished and fashionable la
dy, and has made quite an impression in
the Washington circles. Mr.. Clay's
evening parties commenced Dec. "a, and
