FIRE IN NEW YORK.

We have learned through. the kindness of
a friend that one of the most awful and dis.
astrOus fires recently occurred in New York,
since the dreadful condagration of 1885, de.
strOying property to the amount of upwards
of three millions Of dollars. We would give
the particulars of the dreadful calamity, but
do not feel ourselves authorized. It is
enough to say the fact is too conclusyeIy
confirmed, to admit of doubt.
What is to become Of us, and our cities?-
Where is our safety? What assurance have
we Of life or property? Can any man say to
himself when be retires to his bed in all the
sumptuous wear and linen OF his rank, that he
may not rise mendicant in the morningl
The times are alarming they call for prepar-
alton and arms against danger. It may come
upon US, we know not when,- and what the
consequence.-Alas! we could do nothing
more in cur present situation than stand aud
look like so many ghosts amid the devouIing
flames Of our mansions.
We throw out these hints here, because it
will be seen from comparison of dates, that
the recent fires in New York; Philadelphia,
and Mobile, all happened on the same day,
evidently showing preconcerted action of a
set of hell.hounds, who should il detected
suffer all the possible torture that human IA.
ture could endure.
Il is gratifying 10 learn from the New Or.
leans papers, that the malady is subsiding We
" rapidly, and that business is resuming its

the grim yisage of restlessness, uneasy with
its very self and all around it-whilst the
other stands forth in all that calm benignity
which seems to contemplate government as
the proper heritage Of all, and proclaims all
men to have a voice in the Commonwealth.
1t does not deal in the sophistries of opposing
factions, with the view to carry out some

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT IN
MARYLAND.

The election returns SO far as heard from have
almost unexpectedly resulted in the cause of
of government and liberty e. so far as In.
tellIgence has reached us respecting the re-
presentation of the State in Congress, there
is certain choice of Mr.. Philip Francis
Thomas, Dem. in the second district in the
place of Jas. Alfred Pearce [whig1-of the
election o: Jno. T. H. Worthington TDem. I
in the thlrd-Messrs. james Carroll and So
omon Hillen, jr. in the fourth, Vim. Cost
johnson in the fifth and Hon. Francis Thomi .
in the sixth, making SO far as heard from
FIVE Democrats and one [little1 Whig The
first and seventh districts remain to be heard
from. And judging from the revolution of
sentiment since the adoption of the late Con.
stitutien, we feel no hesitation in saying we
believe the good old democratic counties OF
st. Mary's and Calvert, part Of the seventh
district. will elect good democrat. At all
events the result affords every true friend OF
lrePubIicanIsm, much cause for gladness and
Irejolcing.-What say We state rights me q,
whose very last hope in the republic hangs
on that fated question of bank or substrea.

Congress will be in the councils of republi.

our country.

Inou predict that in n few years, FELT will be
one OF the best Stations in America. | am sure,
from the appearance of Felt's colts here and in
| England, no horse can boast OF a better or more
promising pro gcny. They will be, in my opinion,
rery distinguished on the turf and under the saddle
yes, every where. Now you have in Felt, one Of
our uery bestimportes horses, a better horse, in my
humble opinion, than Luzborough or Fylde, and
see how their colts run
1t will be seen by the annexed terms, that DR..
Merritt's hberality to this country has pei mitted
Felt to make a season here much lower priced than
he did in a country wheie he was Justly a favorite,
and had a crowded season. He will stand this sea-

it will be purchased and furnished at the eighbor-

" We brush COACSe OF 1edHH.
VXTE have the pleasure to announce to the pub
lie, that we have just received a large supply
of the above named medicines. These medicines
have obtained, both in this country and in England,
a most astonishing reputation, They have been
used with great success in almost every disease TO
which the human system is subject. The leading
principles of the Hygeian or, Morrison theory Of
disease, are contained in the following PROPOSE
tions.
Ist. The vital principle is contained in the
Blood. Cd. Every thing in the body is derived
from the Blood. Sd. All diseases arise from the
impurity of the Blood. 4,h. Pain and disease
have the same origin, may therefore be considered
SYNONYMOUS terms. 5th. Purgation by vegetables
is the only etfectual mode of purifying the blood,
and Graduating disease. We have sold these medi-
cines in this county for some time, and can give the
testimony of some of the most respectable citizens
in the county as to their good qualities. We conf
IDENTITY recommend them to the public, as a good
article in common diseases. WIN. LONG &SON.

QUACKS AND THEIR DESTRUC.
TIVE NOSTRUMS.

THE united testimony of Physicians. throughou.
i the United States, has fully proved the fact that
Petcrs's Vegetable Pills are the only true Vegetable
Pills, which will stand the test Of Anaiization-
hence the proprietor would most earnestly urge them
TO the notice Of those who have been in the habit Of
using as Cdfharfics or 4Aperients, the destructive and
ir~ratating Qudck Pills, SO generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow customers Of the vital
functions and murderous agents, even TO the most
hale. II is true, most Of them produce a purgative
effect, and sometimes transient relief, hut in most
cases they ipjure the digestive organs, and an habit.
ual resort to them must terminate in confirmed dys.
pepsia.
IL is true, that Cafborfic and Aperient Medicines
are often required, but the incest discrimination
should always be observed in the selection, and
ifthis be done nothing injurious can result from their
use.
To produce this much desired result, DR. Peters
has made il his study for several years, aud feels
proud TO say he has at length succeeded, far beyond
his expectations. The object Of his Pals are 10 su.
persede the necessity Of a frequent recourse 10 inju-
rious purgaiives, and to offer a medicine safe, csr tain,
and pleasant in its operation.

sFELT started this year, nine times, and won
sepen important races, f,e Of which were Gold
Cups, and ran second in the eighth race, being beat
by a head, and beating the winner three or four
times on other occasions. He won In cups and
stakes SIS, 600, and lost IN all his racing career,
only four times-a most extraordinary and splen.
did performance, especially when it is considered
that he frequently carried heavy extra weight"
The following strong evidence of his high char
acter is taken from the Sporting Magazine for
1880 -" Having this year recruited his stable
with Lord Worcester's FELT, his Lordship has
been a gallant winner-having with this horse. car.
ried Of both the great Tradesman's Cups at Ches-
ter and Liverpool; and a cup or two elsewhere. |

Felt" THAT Felt is a frst-rGte one, will not, |
fancy, be denied by any one."-pp. &c, 256. "He
beat more than 800 horses!"
"FELT'S career OF the turf was SO brilliant
in England, that it caused his sire. Hangar, a capi-
tal four mile horse to be brought from Ireland to
England, where he is now one OF her BEST and most
p~opular stations. The last season he had twenty.
tour winning colts, that won ~flty-iwo races, and
among them was Ellis, perhaps the best colt of tkis
year, who won the great ST. Leger, and many other
races. Hangar ia now covering mares by subscrip-
ton at about sl25, and making full seasons too.

but is a good bay, while Hangar is a chestnut. Lam
gar ia descended from the same stock as Priam,

1896. about one hundred mares at $50 the season,
and 500 to insure; among them the celebrated
