broke out betwySa ! and 2 o'clock this
morning. in sheN building occupied by
Messrs. Lapgtree and O'Sull,van, and
Thomas Allen, as printing Offices for the
Democratic Review and Madisonian. Be-

hope Of saving the building. or any consid.
cradle portion Of the printing materials in it.
Messrs. Lang,ree and O'Sullivan saved
most Of the stereotype plates Of the Madison
ian papers. and about 1000 copies of the first
volume Of the work the other two volumes.
we believe. were entirely destroyed The
edition was 1900 copies three volumes to
each. valued at from 10 to $4,000. They
were insured for $4,000, and their property
destroyed is estimated at from IS TO $4,000.
The materials Of the Madisonian Office were
all destroyed and no insurance on them.
They were worth. we suppose, from $4,000
10 5000. The roof and the upper floor OF
the Medical College was burnt: insured
for $4,000 and it will require that sum. it
is supposed, TO repair it. The Baptist
Church was injured TO the amour, of $500
or 5000. A frame. soap-tactory was entire
ay destroyed. worth, probably, between $500
and 8 900.
Il is not ascertained how the fire origina-
ted Some Of the hands in the Madisonian
office were al work until after IL o'clock,
and the FIRE had made great progress when
discovered. about half after o'clock But
abe prevailing opinion is, that it occurred in
Messrs. Langtree and OSullivan's office.

DR.. HoLMEs.-Our readers will recol.
lect that this man was arrested within the
past year on acharge of having perprlra,ed
in the Canada lines, one of the most afro
cious murders ever recorded-and no doubt
has ever existed in respect TO his guilt.
But question arises whether the demand
OF the Canadian authorities, to have him
given up for trial. should be granted or not,
In the mean time he has been kept in prison
awaiting the decision Of our government.
The Vermont Watchman Of the 18th, con-
firms the statement published a lew days
since in the Boston Post. and which seemed

PLoUGHING.-Let not road OF land be
ploughed in the field, nor yard be turned
by the spade in the garden, while the earth
is wet. or before it will fall and crumble

as soon as possible after being moved; for
the action OF the air is to produce fermenla-

cause it to germinate. If planting is delay
