DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

This evening, about half past nine O'Clock, our
citizens were alarmed by the ringing of bells and
the cry of fire. The flames were first discovered
in the centre of long range Of wooden stores,
situated in Butfalo-st. near the centre of the vii
lase, and contiguous to several dwelling houses,
and other buildings of extensive construction
The only source from whence ,oaler could be
drawn being at some distance from the confagra-
ton, the engines could not commence quelling
the ravages of the element until three of the stores
had burnt to the ground, and several others par
tally enveloped in flames.
The whole range of stores, consisting of ten,
some of which, however. were not occupied, were
entirely consumed. Two families resided in the
upper stories of these buildings.
A dwelling house, occupied by Mr.. Seymour,
as a boarding house, was also destroyed. A build
ing, the ground floor of which was occupied as
store, and the chambers for the printing office of
the Ant-Masonic Enquirer, was likewise burnt
to ashes.
Most of the furniture and merchandise, and
all of the printing materials of the Enquirer Office
were saved. The loss we have not been able to
ascertain. The buildings were owned by Mr..
Marcnant

Mr. Sao,cdsn:-You published, last summeI,a
very sensible communication on the subject OF a
Swimming school. thought the idea good one
and as the season for that wholesome, agreeable
and useful exercise is now approaching, it has &C,
Cured to me whether such an establishment could
not, in some way, be attached to the new Steam
Ferry at the lower end of the town. The mate
rails for building float need not cost much: Tor
j have noticed, in my walks in that quarter OF
the town, vast quantities OF Susquehanna and
other lumber,-and, from the liberal manner IN
which it is strewed about the wharves, streets,
lanes and alleys, one would naturally suppose 1t
was not the property of any particular individu-
al, but might be safely used for such.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT

Mr.. EditOr-There is perhaps no local subject to

and none in which their aid would be of greater
principal or Main Street is, without question one
of the most muddy spots, for its distance. to be
found upon any of the public roads from Northamp-
ton to Boston, and this is in fact, the common OBJ
servation or remark oftravellers Why is this suffer-
ed to remain so Is there no remedy Is there no
such thing at the present day as REFORM or have
our citizens such dread of the sound of the word
not pay attention to ascertain the application in
which it is used We have heard much of late 'uo-
roads and reforms )" but as this is beyond
doubt local" road, we will only ask the atten-
ton of our local" citizens. Can any one observe
our fine side walks, and our "to beh lamps and
not be surprized that something is not done to i'm
prove the roads ? | highly approve of our walks,
and the lighting of the street, and thanks to our en-
terprzing Inhabitants for these two great improve
ments which we are to enjoy this winter and the
coming spring; but would rather wish something
might be done to prevent travellers from getting
into almost inexerable situation than to afford
them any light aid to get out again. Believing any
remarks upon the state Of cur street road are en-
tirely superfuous as all will concur in the propr:e-
ty Of doing something to make them more easy for
travellers, AS we'll pleasant and convenient FOR
ourselves, will drop the subject with strong de-
sire and hope, that some of influential citizens
will make strong effort to " amend their acGvs I"
and certain am our wealthy and liberal Inhabit-
ants would literally second their efforts, and thus
prove themselves worthy of the thanks of all friends
to GOOD ROADS.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

A NARROW ESCAPE. In the administration of
criminal justice, we are informed, that the fol.
lowing circumstances occurred. A young man
had been arrested, on charge of knowingly
passing a counterfeit bank note, the grand iury
had found true bill against him, and he was
placed on his trial. The evidence in support
of the prosecution was strong the note had
been passed in a way to create suspicion the
prisoners explanations were embarrassed and
unsatisfactory; and little doubt seemed to re.
main of his conviction. The evidence was
closed excepting the examination of clerk of
the bank, on which the forgery was supposed
to have been committed, for the purpose of
showing that the note was spurious. The court
were detained short time, he at length ar
rived; the note was was placed in his hands,
he examined it carefully, and pronounced ii

OBITUARY NoTIcEs. We find it again nee
esaary to inform our readers, that, in all ord-
nary cases, any notices of character or other
remarks accompanying notices of deaths, if
published in the Spy, must be paid for. We
were obliged to resort to this rule, in justice to
our readers, as our columns would, otherwise,
be overrur with such articles, which are rarely
interesting to but small portion of the COM
munity, to the exclusion of other matter of
more importance to the public at large. 1t
may, perhaps, be said that we might admit,
gratuitously, such as we think worthy of pub
lication, and reject all others. But in SO deli.
cate matter, affecting the most sensitive
feelings, we do not wish to put ourselves in
situation, where with the best intentions, and
in the exercise of a sounder judgment than we
lay any claim to the possession of, we should
certainly fail to give satisfaction, and where
we should subject ourselves to the imputation
of making invidious distinctions. Under our
rule, all will enjoy equal privileges, and the
responsibility, both of the authorship and pub.
LEGATION of such articles, will rest, where they
ought, with those who procure their insertion.
Notices of deaths, with the age of tho do.
ceased, will always be published gratuitouslv
with pleasure, and we feel particularly obliged
to those who furnish us with them. And where
either the life or death Of the person was ac.
compapicd with any peculiar circumstance 10
make Is worthy Of note, we request commu-
nication Of the facts, that we may make such
use OF them as may seem most conducive to
the objects Of our paper.
