On Sunday night, another fire broke out in the yard of Mr. BorI0n's tasc,o. which consumed athe upper story of that building and three Brick stores adjnining.

He grapplrd his paddlc with the energy of desperation--set the boat. Tn proper direction by single stroke-and de- scended the rapids in safety. The canoe was dashed in hundred pieces before he reach ed the shore, but he succeeded in saving his own life and that of the child in his hand.-- 'fhe other was lost.

 Public Calamity,-A distery in New.Ca- naan has been robbed of it's worms. The aw- fnl deed has been imputed to the agent of some Temperance Society. who. regardless of the cries ofihe widow and the orphan, has cut off the tap, and at least for time depri- yed them of laying out their money to the best advantage, as the old man said, who thought twenty-five cents laid out in New England Rum would go farther in his family than Tn meal.
