barge was then cut loose and large fiat boat
dashed alongside of her, and the two boats put
in charge of pilot to bring over. In coming
down the shore channel the barge struck a
rock and sunk. 1t appeared in evidence, that
it was most usual 10 bring boats of that kind
down the shore channel-the pilot was one Of
the best known at the rapids-and that two
boats were frequently brought over together,
in that stage of water. But it was also shown
that two boats lashed together were not as e.
silly managed as one; and that there was moIe
water in what is known as the steamboa.

ion among witnesses about the safety Of the

*Nore-BY THE EDlroR.-In giving plac 9
to the above communication, as it avas aurit-
ten, we deem word of explanation due TO
ourself. that we may not be supposed to sane
ton such meaus of injuring fellow man.
On a previous occasion, when the name Of
Mr.. Parvin was so written, we made the cor,
rection, not however. as it appears, to the sat-
isfact,on of the writer, as he still insists upon
that mode Of spelling his name. We doubt
the success Of such plan for casting ignomy
upon the name of man, as If man is IN
worthy the use Of capitals in spelling his name,
the reasons which render him thus unworthy,
should be plainly shown, that the ''littleness''
may not recoil npoa the author.

FIRE.-The residence of Mr.. Thomas +.
Israel, on the hill at the west end Of town,
was consumed by FIRE on Thursday morning
last, together with all its contents, with the
exception Of the parlor furniture. At about
3 o'clock. the brother Of Mr.. l., who with
lad was sleeping in the middle room of the
building, was Weakened by the bursting of the
flames through the door that led into the east
room. There being strong breeze from the
cast, in few moments the middle room was
too hot to admit Of entrance, SO it was aban-
doned, and their efforts directed to the west
room, or parlor. By great efforts they sue.
ceeded in saving its contents, though the prin-
cal part Of the clothing of the family, being
IN the middle room, was consumed. Upon
visiting the scene of destruction in the morn
ing, we could no. suppress smile at seeing
the lad above alluded TO, bareheaded and bare.
footed, with nothing bu. his shirt and "trow
eerloons" on, busi'y engaged in raking up re-
lies, who, upon being asked why he did
not put on his coat, as the breeze was raw
and keen, replied. "by jngs I'm jst hun,in'
't-right here's where left it, and it must be
under these ashes" through which he was bu.
silly engaged in plying rake.
How the fire originated is a matter of doubt,
In small cellar under the room in which the
fire took hold, small fire had been kindled
on the previous morning. for the purpose of
smoking few hams. but was supposed to
have died before night After the roof and
walls had fallen in, the cellar door was omen.
ed, and the hams were still hanging, and
might have been saved, but for fears that the
floor might fall in. The house stood at some
distance from any other, so, unless it occurred
from the cellar, 1t must have been the work Of
an incendiary.
When the fire was discovered. the flames
had spread so far as TO prohibit the idea of sa-
wing the building, no time was to be lost in
sounding the alarm, and it being an hour Of
the night when people sleep soundest, it was
d'scovered by but solitary person in town,
and remained unknown TO all but three fami.
lies until daylight. What sleepy town:
