FIRE IN THE PINEs-A great confla-
grafton is now sweeping through ,he.
New Jersey pines; and the extreme drv-
ness of the timber fea:fully augments 1t.
1t broke out. as we learn from the Bur
iinston Herald, in that county, on the
Martha Furnace tract. While on Long
Beach, last week, the editor saw the
destroying element, at the distance of
many miles, casting a light as though a
city were in flames. Owners of timber
lands are bnsiIy employed firing against
the consuming enemy. 1t is the great
est calamity of the kind ever known
there. From the neighborhood of Tue
kerto to Burr's Mill. the country has
been overrun. The loss is at least
100000. We learn from another
source, that one single proprietor has
lost S2O. 900. The fire sweeps on, in
Its devastating progress, in broad col
umn, twelve miles wide. Itsports with
man. too, even as with the dry twips
and consumes whole families. in lis

o. The story of the Dog Pedlar,
which we give on the first page of this
paper, furnishes remarkable instance
OF what may be accomplished by patient
industry and perseverance, and ought to
put to shame those who are blessed with
health, and the use of their limbs, and
are yet continually complaining of un.
toward fortune.-Wer remember to have
seen the Dog -Pedlar whirling along in
his tiny wagon through the streets Of
Chambersburg, few years ago.-The

Vs. We regret to state that the Barn

about four miles west of Steuntop, tens
anted by Mr.. GEORGE SHEETS, was de-
stroyed by fire on Friday night last. 1t
was large aud commodious building.
with sheds all around it, which, 1--WE
observed on passing some days ago
were well stored with grain. The loss OF

very considerable.-What adds to the

no doubt the work Of an incendiary-
though neither Of the gentlemen is a,
