Great Fire in New York.

1t becomes our distressing duty TO give the
particulars of very destructive fire, which took
place in the city of New York on Sunday morn
Ing We furnish various details from the New
York "Journal of Commerce. The "New York
Pos" OF Saturday evening furnishes variety OF
other particulars. The latest date in the Post
appears TO be l o'clock; which states that s'lhe
large buildings, corner of Broadway and Morris
street, and also corner of fMarkeliield and White
hall streets, fell with tremendous crash. 1t
VIII be seen by notice in our paper, that the
capital of the Bowery and City Insurance Com
panles are unimpaired, owing to the large sur
plus they had on hand. The Jefferson Insurance
Company have ascer:ained losses TO the amount
of $l6O,OO0. The National Fire Insurance
Company have only lost S2s,000. These Com
panles at least will be able to pay one hundred
cents TO the dollar.
"We have just been informed that the explo-
sion was heard very distinctly at the Highlands,
which are forty five miles from the city Thirty
stores were destroyed, in which goods entitled
TO debenture had been stored by the officers OF
the customs. There were also four large stores
belonging to the custom-house, filled with IL
quors, destroyed

This aggregate surpasscs the loss by the great
fire in New York in 1885. Then about twenty
millions of dollars worth of property was destroy

In addition TO these there have been dozens
offifes all over the country, which at any other
time would be considered large, but they now
sink into insgnifcance.

that these "nce young men, the associates of

YOUNG MEN, BEwARE.-Mr. Potter, of
Yale College, in temperance address late
ly at New Haven, says:
''My heart bleeds as | remember the fate
of three Of my early companions who start
ed in life with myself. One of them pos
sessed the finest mathematical mind ever
knew. He would takethe ledger and 60 up
with three columns at time with perfect
ease. He was the first man in America that
beat the automaton chess player, and he
told me that he had every move in his head
before he entered the room. That man fills
a drunkard's grave. Another, who was an
excellent accountant, and could command
almost any salary, met the same melancholy
fate. Another, possessing the same brilliant
capacities, has gone down, not 10 the grave,
perhaps, but is sunk clear out of sight amid
the mire and filth of intemperance. '-Hart-
ford C0urant.

ed to puzzle Peel, sit with gaping mouths
and open ears At last a soft voice issues
from those wreathed lips-solt yet perfectly
distinct, and very harmonious. Gas he pro-
ceeds, the manufacturers, whose stern faces
are made up for burst of dlsapprobation,
begin to relax the rigidity of their features
as the importance of their interests are adj
verified to. Then the agricultnrists, whose
visages had been growing lengthy, are tick
led by the knowing hand of the Minister,
like so many trout, and they are smilingly
taken in the snare. Cheer after cheer bursts
forth, and Sir Roberts face is radiant with
smiles No decided answer has been given,
but promises have been made; the very
soul of candor seems to have possessed the
Premier, who now becomes earnest and
eloquent-he finds way to the hearts OF
his hearers which way, like road to a
certain place which shall be nameless, is
paved with good intentions. He at last
sits down amidst ''cheers from all parts OF
the house." Not a question is replied to
not an explicit statement made-not a
person satisfied, but all, saving few know
ing ones, cleverly humbugged. No-Sir
Robert Peel is not 10 be caught; you may
as we'll try to fix shadow. Nay, the pin
ming of the Premier would he the least
difficult to accomplish of the two.

this last, tho best, gift to man: God bless

charity-always ministering to the sick

ed but once, and if that error had been

near Market, which she had reason 10 suppose

had lost anything, 10 which he, with some sur

declared himself ruined man, for he had lost
his pocket book. The book was then handed
TO him by the lady On recovering which the
gratitude of the stranger was unbounded. and
on the young lady's positively refusing 10 ac-
cept portion Of the lost money, he insisted
upon presenting her with gold watch which
was declined. The strange merchant, howev-
er, forced upon the lady two notes Of twenty
dollars each, being all the loose money in his
pocket The pocket book contained $4,000.

We would call the attention of some of our
subscribers, and especially certain Post Mas
ters, to the following reasonable, and well set
tied rules Of Law in relation to publishers, 10
the patrons of newspapers.
THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
/. Subscribers who do not give erpress no.
tice to the contrary, are considered as wishing
10 continue their subscriptions
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance Of
their papers, the publishers may continue TO
send Them till all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse TO take
their papers from the officers TO which they are
directed, they are held responsible ill they
have settled their bill, and ordered ;heir papers
disconined.
4. If subscribers remove 10 other places with
out informing the publishers, and their paper is
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
s. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspaper or periodical from the Office,
or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is 'pri-
ma facie" evidence of Intentional fraud.
