DREADFUL FIRE--BURNING OF
FIFTY-ONE HORSES!

FIFTY-ONE HORSES
T A terrific fire, threatening the
destruction of the fairest portion of our
city, broke out last night, little after
2 o'clock, on Market-street. II COM
menced in the interior of the extensive
livery stable owned by Messrs. Laveille
aud Morton, and at the time in the
occupancy of Mr.. John Calvert. The
first inlimation was given by the flames
bursting from the building, and as il
was built of wooden materials, and con-
tanned large quantity Of hay and 9TH
er provender, all efforts to save it were
fruitless. Attention was instantly di.
rected TO the rescue of the horses, but,
horrible to say, ffty-one Of these no.
bic animals are supposed to have been
burned with she building. Others were
let loose, wild with agony and fright
their names on fire, and presenting a
terrifying spectacle /: to relieve them
from suffering, several we're shot down.
From the stable, the flames COM
municated to the old catholic church,
which, having been abandoned, was
temporarily occupied as warehouse.
The walls of this building alone, are
left standing. The goods-from eigh-
ty TO one hundred crates of china,
queens and glass were--are all destroy
ed. Mrs. Perry's row of buildings,
running from Second TO Main street,
were in imminent danger, as was, in
deed, all the property in the neighbor.
hood-a brisk wind prevailing at the
time directly from the west. But for
tunately, no other damage was done.
The new catholic church, having q fire
proof roof, was uninjufed, except in
the burning oftwo or three windows.
The loss cannot now be accurately
estimaled.-Morion g. Laveille, John
Calvert, and r. D.. Watson--the latter
the owner of the goods-are the ,prin-
cipal sufferers. The loss of the hor-
ses will be very heavy, but divided a.
mong their several owners in the city.
Altogether, the damage cannot be less
than fifteen thousand dollars. 1t is not,
as yet, known how the fire was COM
muaicated.-St. Louis Rep. ApriI7.
Ono AND MIcHIGAN.--The Della
ware (OhIo) Gazette of Saturday last,
mentions the arrival, at that place, of
two ofthe Governors staff, Oh their re-
turn from the Northern Frontier. These
officers state, that, although Michigan
does not acquiesce in the RIGHT OF Ohio
to establish the line in question, the Com
missioners ofthe latter were not to be
moested in running the Boundary Line.
The understanding is, that neither party
will pursue hostiIltles, or resort TO any
criminal prosecution, leaving it 10 Con-
gress at their next session, to settle the
whole matter in controversy detinltiyely.

ult. states that few arrests and no new
ual danger has passed end that no just
apprehensiops need be entertained OF :he
few scattered remnants OF the abolition

But il contains q s.a,Jar narrative oC
a proceeding under the Lynch code, in
| Livingston county, whittier two brothers,
William and John Earle, bad been sent
by tie committee Of safety at Vicksburg,
in order to be tried where they were best
known. They had been implicated by
DR.. Cotton, as intended leaders Of the
esnspiracy in Warren county Judge
Lynch's committee sat in trial on the
brothers, conGning and examining them
separately and each without any hope,
fear or compulsion, confessed a know
ledge Of the conspiracy some months pre-
viously y-but denied having taken any
ther, and they both accused Boyd, who
escaped at Vicksburg, and singularly es-
capped pursuit in Madison county, where
he was chased with track dogs for 95
mies--when he jumped on horse, ho
escaped in the woods, and has not since
been detected.
Towards the evening Of examining the
brothers Earle, William Gas being the ell
dest, most cunning aud most strongly sus-
pected) was taken from his confinement,
and resort was had to the lash to force
confession He amused his executiona-
ry Judges with lies for time, but finding
the Iynchmen would not be cajoled, l,e
promised to make confession next morn
ing when more composed. On going in
the morning to the jail, they found WIN.
composed and deaf to their inquiries
he had hung himself during the night
Johu was again put on his trial. lie
felt glad that his brother had gone SO for
he himself would have been killed for
turning iniormer. Such was tho oath Of
the conspirators. lie then stated more
minutely the facts duplicating Boyd ard
his having himself been compelled at
Nicksburg by his own mother as we'll as
brother, to prove an alibi when Boyd was
lrcd. He also narrated several matters
concerning the conspiracy, which proved
him in the opinion of his Judges, to he

| THE CoMEr, AT LAsr.-The following
statements, copied from the New Haven
Herald Of yesterday, will be interesting,
10 doubt, to many Of our readers. 1t has
10 connexion with the Supplement to
the Edinburgh Journal Of Science p
Halley's Comet.-Y esterday morning,
.\ugust 3lst, we had the satisfaction Of
first observing this interesting body, in
the field Of Clark 3 great telescope. The
possibility of coniounding it with nebu-
Ia, induced us TO wait for smother obser-
vation, in order to ascertain whether il
changed its place among the stais, in
which case no doubt would remain Of its
being a comet. The approach ofthe twi-
light preventedour asceuaining this point
yesterday, but observations repe ated tbis
morning plainly indi cate proper motion
and being very near the place assigned
to Halley's comet, we recognise il as the
long-expected vistant.
Its present position is north Of the
BULBS horns, little below the vertex Of
an equilateral triangle, formed with those
two stars. 1t is nearly in line between
the planet Jupiter and the Pleiades, or
Seven Stars, and nearer to the former
Or, more particularly, at O'Clock this
morning, its right ascension was 5h. Sim.
and its declination N. 95 deg. being a.
bout degree less than that derived from
the elements of Pontecoulant, which are
given in the Connaissance dcs Tens for
1888.
The appearance in our telescope is
that of dim cloud, or halo, far less lu-
mnous than the planets. Its magnitude
is such as to render it visible to smaller
telescopes, provided they afford sufficient
light. We employed only our lowest
magnifer (55) /; but the fine ligh. Of this
instrument, having an object glass Of five
inches, gives it great advantages over or
binary telescopes in observations of this
kind.

ARE YOU INSURED This may be an
important question TO many of our read
ers, and we are greatly surprised that so
lew can answer in the affirmative. In
several places in Massachusetts it has
been resolved, Mt meeting. Of the inhabi-
tants, that where people hereafter neglect
to get their property insured against fire,
that IN case of IA loss by fire, they will not
contribute towards their relief. The
reason they give is that as the rate of in
suranec is so very low aud the expense
SO trfling that all ought to be insured
The Philadelphia y. s. Gazette, in re-
marking upon this subject Says" A
chew Of tobacco day will insure "A barn
full OF grain" BE wise then and guard
against accidents, which in moment
may reduce man in Comfortable circum-
stances to beggary and want.
