From the Cincinnati Com. .adrcrfise .7rg Z.

gain. The fact was, the fire was Tagging in
the interior Of the building, but had not yet
burst out. IL was the new and SPLENDID Ho-
tel, called Pearl Street House, owned by
David Griffin, Esquire, and occupied by
Major HenrIe. The building vas i've sto-
ries high, and the flames burst Simultaneous
ly from the cellar, through the first floor, aud
from the 6fth story through the roof, thus
sffoFding incontestible evidence OF ITS being,
the work OF an incendiary. What loss Ma.
jor Henre and the numerous dodgers 0for the
House was fuii) sustained, we have not been
able to learn, but 1t must have been very
considerable. We are happy TO learn that

should judge, could not be restored 10 us

thousand dollars. This was also insured.

He was colonel during the last war, and did the state much serviee His re-aPpoin,men was urged by the almost entire voice of Florida, and the members of the bar.

Just as a boat freighted with iron and other
articles, had turned the summit of the inclin
ed plane, on her descent at Boonton Fills,
the cham broke. and The car being thus freed
from the restraints Of machinery, descended
TO the foot OF the plane with great speed,
giving the boat such a hasty plunge into the
water, that when she rose on the swell thus
created, 1t carried her over the tow path at
the bend Of the canal near the plane. and
precipItated her down a rocky precipice Of
about 200 feet. where she now hes a heap of
runs not worth picking up-so high was she
raised by the swell, and so rapid her flight.

any thing else, until she struck upon a rock

aud broke in two near the ceotre-the two
parts then continued to descend among the
rocks where they now lay, The mo>a n

is, the opinions of the Medical faculty are SO va

tending the mortality so contradictory. that we
have been apprehensive Of giving inaccurate re-

ing official reports from the Board of Health in

5 or have been added to the number. In Nor

tins new and alarming epidemic, which is gene

same fatal disease which has prevailed in New

the deaths have been. So far, entirely confined to
the colored people. In most OF the cases IN
Portsmouth, we understand the blacks are known
to have eaten of West India or Domestic Fruit,
Pine Apples, Water Melons, SC and in Nor
felix, some who have died have eaten heartily Of
Water Melons a short time before their attack.
