GREAT FIRE IN SrAuXroS 1T is with the mrs.
painfu feelings we tho awful visitation thai
has brfallcn our neghborng vagethe county seat Of
old Mother Augusta. On Wednesday night last, we
understand by traveller, fire broke out IN The large
frame stable attached to the Wayne Tavern, near The
centre of the town Those of readers " no have VI
si,cd S,aunlon will remember that this large building
forms corner of one of the principal squares in The place.
which is composed almost entirely Of old frame buildings
The Stable in which the file originated was soon reduced
to ashes and about THIRTY FIVE HORSES, the property oil
the members Of the Synod and other visitors persisted IN
the flames large number Of carriages, and vehicles
Of d. Hrren kinds aso destroyed The fire extended
with great rapidy, and in short time The Tavern and
the hole of The lower end Of the square envclopcd
in sheet of fame Some six buildings were
| destroyed, including the large Tavern building We
doubt whether $50 600 will repair the mischief done -
We hope. from The Inct that within The las, few years
several attempts have been made TO set fire TO this square,
that much Of the property was ensured.

| FIRE rs SrAUxToS We learn by slip from the Of.
fee Of the Spectator, that fire broke out in the stable
attached 10 The Wayne Hotel in Stanton, at o'clock
last Thursday morning, which not arrested until
| one half the Square including the Wayne Tavern and
four or five other houses and stables, entirely con-
sunrd The houses, however, except the Hotel, appear
to have been Of but little value. The Wayne Stable
only temporarily occupied for the purpose OF keep
ing the horses Of the members 1.-THE Presbyterian Synod,
then in session; and rrgrpt learn, that II lo Of
these horses persisted in the flames.
| VALLEY RDaD.-We are pleased to sec an effort max.
! ing 10 fill up the quota of subscription 10 the Valley
Turnpike allotted TO this county. We never doubted
that il could he dcne with moderate amount oil exer-
,nn and hence have thought il necessary to
make any fuss about it, Although important work TO
us, considered il entirely too small matter alter
our giant efforts in nvcr Of Railroad, 10 spend much
breath upon The only difficulty felt at any time, was,
as TO the suicency Of the capital authorized 10 bring
the road 10 this pnnt-and consequently whether 1t
might no! be abandoned short Of its completion, (as the
law prrmled.) to material injury. That difficulty,
however is removed; and authorized to say
that as snon MS the necessary is subscribed the
location will BE- commenced in county and the road
put under contract. This is certainly sufficient 10 sa.
isfy the scrupulous and WILL hope ensure an
immediate filling up of the subscrip,"ns
