DISTRESSING FIRE.

On Saturday afternoon, about five o..
clock, = fire broke out in the smoke house
OF Messrs. Pugh g. Alvord. at the corner
OF Walnut street and tho Canal, which, in
onsequences, has been one Of the most
distressing that ever occurred in this city.
The smoke house was in the rear. and
soalc what detached from the main build
ing, being connected with il only by :,
wooden door and narrow passage wav
through which the ,aea, was USUALLY
wheeled, It was thought the fire could
be confined 10 the former, and for that
purpose the Pork House was closed tight
as possible, by shutting ali tho doors and
windows, to exclude rush OF air to feed
the flames. la the course Of hall an hour
the NUN building was filled with smoke.
rariiied air, and probably some inhamma.
bic gas, from The smoke house, and when
the flames burst through the wooden door
connecting the two buildings. an instan
taneous roar OF flames was perceived. and.
IN the twinkling OF an eye, the whole Of
this spacious, Substantial building was n
mass Of ruins. The whole roof was lii:-
ted UP IN the air und thrown into the
streets IN large fragments-th second
story wall on tbs north and south sides
were thrown down, and the whole eastern
end of both stories, fronting on Walnut.
blown into the streets, from its foundation
up.
The appearance Of the explosion was
awiully terrific: and lis consequences "a
;al to severalso our most cstimable ci,;-
zens. 1t is thought that from eight 10
twelve persons were Immediately Killed.
and probably twenty severely wounded.
some OF them dangerously. Orthe num-
Der that were positively asccrtained to be-
killed, this morning, were: Joseph Bon.
sail, Caleb Taylor, OF the late firm Of
' q Company, II. S. Edmonds,
Pork packer, }. $. Chamberlain, Pattern
Maker; John Ole, a German laborer.
and two or three other German laborers:
whose names we could no. ascertain.
Of those most severely wounded, are.
George Shilito, firm OF Wor,hing,on Shil
Tito T. Co; II. Thorp, inspector Of PORK.
I. G Shelter, Printer; Mr.. Alvorl. firm
Of Pugh & AIvord; Samuel Schoolev. y
lad; Mr.. Finch, Carpenter; John Black.
more, Machinist.
And probably dozen or twenty others.
whose names we could not ascertain win
certainty.
In view Of the melancholy circumstan.
ces OF the case, the loss OF property is
hardly worth mentioning. There were
about 100000 lbs. Bacon in the Smoke
House, totally destroyed, fully insured
however We understand there was nlso
$4,000 insurance on tho Pork House,
which will rebuild il. as the lower floor
and foundations are uninjured. The sur.
rounding sheds and yards were filled with
barrels Of pork, bacon, and lard, which
was generally got on, without much in.

.BLOOMINGTON HER.lLD.n

We must decline controversy will!
our friend Of the Bloomington Herald.
We are not ambitious to excel in con-
test Of mere woSds-lor we hold the die
tionary Of the English language in too
high respect 10 make an inuiscrilnnate
use Of its contents. Nor are we ambi-
iious Of that literary fame which prides
itself in involving the same idea in col
umn and hall OF different sentences.
Nor have we time or space to devote 10
the consideration Of mere humbugs. II
that paper chooses TO amusc itself with
tho .ransitory iun OF tickling the cars Of
Bsscoas6e by the ringing Of its little bells
why we willingly givv.t

The remarks in this paper, some two
weeks since, on the subject Of the Valua.
{ ~ saw. (and objected to by the Herali)
were put forth, not so mucl, AS an edturi-
al Of the Gazette, as an address from its
Senior editor to the people Of ,h!s coun
~, giving his reasons ior voting against
the law when before the Legislature.
This he had right TO do, wi:hol. ncccs.

make it such -and in exerci<inga RICH.

be had no reason 10 expect that lie would
kc arranged by the papers or the public
Of another county. His reasons for his
vote were based upon his understanding
Of. the Constitution and for his votes he
is responsible Ito his constituents. 'Thi.
Is about the length and brcud. Of the
whole matter.
In conclusion we would barely remark
thut il We chose to 90 into this controyer
sy, such q step would seem unnecessary
until the Herald had resuted at lsas, one
OF our principal objections. So far from
this, it has not even alluded TO theu,.
The avidity with which it sezes uoor &
single CASUAL remark Of ours in iIustr.
ton Of the Effects OF the law shows how
sensibe the HcrdM l. Of the very slim
ground it stands upon SO far us argument

the editor o. that paper, asit IS with
many others IN relation 10 this law-h.
no doub, thinks it eIpedienl-but bring
him to vote undfr oath Of fidelity 10 Me
Consfitulion, and he would probably take
q ''sober second thought on the subject
Wcnow dismiss this question hoping
that the law may do all the good which
lis best friends have predicted for it-and
trusting that we shall be allowed 10 enjoy
our opinions, both Of the Constitution
and Of our own conduct, without fur,hcl
arraisnment by any one. The Herald
may readily perceive tina, both it, and
the Gazette have plenty of work before
them requiring their joint labors, which,
must suffer more or less so long as thoy
persist ina Kilkenny Cat fight against
each other. In PLAIN lords, Mr.. Herald
we move TO take q stay on the squabble
until after the next election.
