BRocKpoRT IN RUINS IA fire broke out in Brock
port on Sunday the 22d inst about IL o'clock M, in
the store adjoining the American Hotel on Main St
Aided by strong northwest wind, it ragged with al
most unparalleled force, running to the southwest
ward, consuming the greater part if not all the build
ngs in that section of the village, to the street
ming east and west on which stands the Baptist cha
pei. AT O'Clock, p. NJ the church had taken fire,
and was gently crouching beneath the power of the
mighty element. We have not heard any estimate Of
the damage or who the sufferers are but il must be
very great for that the most compact part Of the

that time the river was high The vessel was ground
ed l5 feet above low water mark at point very near
the position OF the obelisk The party landed took
possession of the palace of Amenophis which they
found tsnaned by jackals prov ded for their comfort

operations The obeisk was first projected by CO.

it over on one SIDE This object effected the 3lst

the seamen and in part by the Arabs. The 18th of

THH ART OF PRINrING-Before the art of printing
books were of incredible price From the sixth to
the thirteenth century, many bishops could not read
and kings were scarcely able to sign their names;
and hence the use of seals and sealing. These were
the ages in which superstition, wtchcraft, and PRIEST
craft, obtained so universal an ascendency. From
6OO to 700 all learning in the hands of the Arabs,
Saracens, and Chinese.
The first printed books trifng hymns and
psaers with images of saints and being printed only
on one side, the leaves pasted back to back
One of the first was the Blba Pauperum, with forty
leaves, which, pasted together made twenty. An en-
tire psalter was printed in 457 by Faust and Schof-
fer; and bible in 637 leaves, in movable types, was
printed at Mentz between 1850 and l455; but the
most important part of the invention (tha of movea-
bic types) is uncertain both as to name and date
The first characters Gothic Roman types were
first used in 1867.
Caxton was the first English printer and his print
ing Office in the chapter house of Westminster
Abby. He learnt the art in Germany, and was hber-
ally patronised in England The first book printed
by Caxton in l47l, and bore for its titls-Wil-
lyam Caxton's Recuyel of the Hisoryes of Troy, by
Raoul lie Feure." While the Bblomania prevailed
copy was knocked down by auction for l060t.

AS WE EXPECTED.

A correspondent in the last "Danville |
Intelligencer" has attacked the official in
tcgrity of John Fruit, Esq. and published
a st"tement of his accounts, as Treasurer of
Columbia county, for the years 1892, 1894,
and 1895. BY this exhibit of his transac-
tions, Mr.. Fruit is made defaulter to the
amount of So 1913 SO; and from the face Of
the account, persons not acquainted with
the manner in which business of that de-
nomination is conducted, would readily in
fer that he really owed that amount, and
retained it in is own hands. This, how
ever, is NOT THE CASE; and, as the promul-
cation of the statement is only intended to
affect his nomination as candidate for
Sheriff, we feel in duty bound to give a
direct contradiction to it, from an Gamma
ton Of his account. AS EXHIBITED BY THE
VOUCHERS OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL. We
are aware of the tate hOur--of the impossi-
bility to spread this DENIAL before our read
ers in time to have effect upon the Dele
gate elections, which are held this day; but
as an act of justice to the abused, ,ce pro-
nOonce the aOhOle statement incorrect IN
point IF fact, and only calculated to an
swer political purpose. We subjoin a
statement from HUoH McW1LLIAMs, Esq.
the present County Treasurer, as published
in the last 'lntelligeucer," from which ii
will be seen that our own examination is
ratified, and that Mr. Fruit is not Only free
from the charges of being delaulter, but
entirely free from any responsibility OF
censure on account of his official transac-
tions.

THIS DAY

The Democrats of Columbia county will
elect Township Delegates, to meet in Coun-
ty Convention on Monday next in this
place. Let every one turn out, and thus
give the primary expression of the sentl-
ments Of the party as to whom they wish
placedupon the ticket for the various ofll-
ces. Let FAIR PLAY dictate the nomlna-
tions---let UNION and HARMONY induce a
consolidated support from THE PARTY-and
our opponents in Columbia county will al
ford more cause for amusement than any
thing else. We go for UNIoN-ior SUCCESS
and we hope the same spirit may actuate
every democrat who either attends the
Township elections this day, or appears as
aDelegate on Monday next.

ON MONDAY NEXT

The Democracy of Columbia county
will place in nomination the different can
tidates for office. For Assembly, there
have been but three individuals named
DANIEL Gross, of Bloomsbury, WILLIAM
S, DAVIS, of Washington, and EVAN D.
JACKSON, of Berwick. The two first are
"fresh from the ranks fthe people" never
having been candidates for Office, although
Underwriting supporters Of the men and mea-
sures of the democratic party: the latter
was the representative of this county, III
the last Session of the legislature. For the
other offices numerous persons have been
named; and as we take no public part for
any individual, we can only hope that such
only may be nominated as will secure the
united and actiUe support of the party
In fine, we wish FAIR MEANS TO be eXercl'
sed in eflecting the nomination of our whole
ticket-we wish ''good men and true" to be
mony generally manifested by the Demo
crats OF this county, we cannot fail to Sc
cure glorious triumph over all opposi
ton. Our next number will raise thu
names of the Democratic candidates to it
masthead, and we confidently believe tina
il will be such ticket as will demand sup
port and ensure success. May our wishe
be realized.
