FIRE.


On Tuesday morning last, about o'clock,
the alarm of fire was given. 1t originated in
an old house in the rear of DR.. John A. Davis
bar room, on Market Street. The flames were
arrested before any damage was done. We
are informed that pieces of lightwood were
discovered in the lof: of this old building, evil
IDENTIFY placed there for the purpose of setting
the building on fire. Several attempts have
been made recently, to fire the square In which
this fire was arrested.
.4''ofher.-On the next "wednesday morn
ing, at The same hour, our citizens were again
aroused from their beds by the fire bell. On
looking out of our window, we found the street
lIumlned by the ruddy glare of the flames.
kitchen belonging to, and in the rear of Mr..
Grants dwelling house, situated on Boundary
Street, caught fire by some means, and was
completely destroyed. Fortunately the wind
was blowing off the dwelling house; other
wise, it, too, must have fallen prey to the
devouring element.
we would here remark that we think the
hrst duty Of the members of fire companies, is
to proceed directly and instanter, when an a.
larm OF Ere is given, to their Engine house,
and not, as is too often the case, rush to the
hre and leave the engine and hose carriage to
ind their way. to the scene of action, as they
best may, on their own ''hook.'' This re-
mark Is suggested by seeing an Engine STAN
ding stock still, on Market Street, with some
half dozen individuals around it, whose
force was entirely too weak to drag 1t through
the sand. This, we think, is wrong state
OF things, and ought to be looked into by the
WaTdens.

|, Kidnagping.-In the New Orleans Picay,
Iune, of the Goth Sept, we see it stated that a
man by the name of Boswell, from Granville
county in this State. had been arrested at s.the
Lake end of the Ponchartran Rail Road, on
charge of attempting to sell free colored
man named Hilliard Evans" We have seen
letter which was opened, through mistake,
at the Wilmington Post Office, directed to
IS Green Evans, man of color, Wilmington,
N. c." This letter purports, truly we think,
to be written by the mother of Evans, who
lives in Granville county, and asks her reIa-
tive. q Green Evans" to persuade her SON,
IL. Evans, to return to ''his distracted mother"
1t also states, that the writer has heard that
Boswell was trying to sell Evans as slave.
Boswell it seems came to this part of the State
with Stud Horse, and carried Evans with
him as servant. We hope this may throw
some light on the matter.

Faculty as exemplary and competent
as any who have heretofore adorned

We point to these facts, as they af-

Judge Story's disease is an internal strangu-
lation. 1t will be recoIlected that this is
the same disease with which Mr.. Legare of
South Carolina died in Boston two years
since. Judge Story has resigned. his seat on
the bench; the resignation to take place

A FAIR OFFER-Make full estimate of
all you owe, and Of all that is owing to you.
Reduce the same to notes. AS fast as you
collect, pay over to those you owe; if you
can't collect, renew your notes every year;
and get the best security you can. Go to
business diligently, and be Industrious
lose no time, waste no idle moments-be
very prudent and economical in all things
discard all pride but the pride of acting just
ly and well-be faithful in your duty to
God, by regular and hearty prayer, morn
ing and night-attend church and meeting
every Sunday, and "do unto all men as you
would they should do unto you" If you
are too needy in your own circumstances
to give to the poor, do whatever else you
have in your power to do for them cheer
fully-but if you can, always help the wor-
thy poor and unfortunate. Pursue this
course diligently and sincerely for seven
years, and if you are not happy, comfort
able, and independent in your circumstan-
ces, come to me, and will pay all your
debts.-Dr. Franklin.

PEACH PoT-PIE.-Cover the sides of a
Dutch oven with common pie-crust; lay in
as many pared peaches as will cover the
bottom; or more if you please spread over
them thin covering of pie-crust; then put
on another layer of pared peaches, and so
on, putting peaches and crust alternately,
until you have put in all you wish. Stir
together three parts of wafer and one of
molasses; make crosscut in the middle
of the pie, as you would for Pot-pie; pour
the molasses and water into the opening,
cover the Dutch oven, and bake it with a
brisk heat (not fierce enough to scorch.) !
should think three-quarlers of an hour
would be about right The quantity of mo-
lasses must be judged by the acidlty of the
peaches. For peck of good peaches, of
the usual flavor, about half pint of molas-
ses would be needed, and three times as
much water. This pie is excellent

THE GULF STREAM.-A new theory for
the Gulf stream has lately been preached, to
wit That it is caused by the waters of the
Pacific Ocean, which are higher than those
of the Atlantic, being poured through an
underground aperture, at the lsthmus of
Panama; aud that in passing through that
volcanic region the waters become heated
tic the extraordinary temperature they al
ways possess.

The following are the proceedings of
meeting of shareholders of Anne Arundel
county, held at the Oak Tree, about ten
miles from Annapolis city, and near Col.
Boyle's farm, on Saturday, the 3Oth ult.
We learn that the meeting was conducted
with the greatest propriety, decorum and
moderation
At highly respectable meeting of citi-
zens, assembled together almost spontane-
ously for the purpose of considering let
ter of DIR. Richard S. Steuart, published in
pamphlet, and recommending the emanci-
patton OF slaves, and the establishment of an
Emancipation paper in the city of Balti-
more.
A committee composed of the following
gentlemen, viz John S. SelIman, Joseph N.
Socket, Philip Pindle, Samuel Fl. Dorset,
Thomas Welsh, Jacob Bird and David Nc
Brogden, were appointed by the chairman,
VIM. O'f1ara, Esq, to take said letter into
consideration, and who, after due delbera-
ton, reported the following resolutions:
ResotUed By this meeting here assembled,
That the impression calculated to be nude
by the language of DR.. Richard S. Steuart's
letter to John L. Carey, Esq, of the city of
Baltimore, on the subject of the emanci pa
ton of slaves, does not meet with the ap-
probation of the members of this meeting
is contrary to their views of propriety, as
they deprecate all agitation whatever of the
subject of emancipation.
RESOLVED, That this meeting discounten-
ances the course of any newspaper that at
tempts to connect the subject of slavery
with the politics Of the day.
Reso1ued, That the above proceedings
be published in all the newspapers Of the
State.

BY the new postage law of Congress,
newspapers are carried free through the mail
in any direction to any post office situated
within thirty miles of the place where pub
lished. This makes, by the terms of the
law itself, an area of sixty miles in dame
ter, or about one hundred and eighty miles
lin circumference. But practically this is
not all. Post offices are some distance apart
from each other. In some parts of the
country they are situated ten miles distant;
in other parts more, and in others less, &C
cording as there may be dense or sparse
population. If we estimate the average dis
lance at ten miles, subscribers to news
paper residing at a distance of So miles from
the office, are included within and Can en-
Joy the benefits of the law. This forms
an area, within which subscribers can re-
ceive their newspapers free of postage, Co
vering seventy miles in diame,er,or upwards
of two hundred miles in circumference

BITTEN BY RAT.-The Boston Post
says young man named Hays, an assistant
in the provision store of Mr.. Bancroft, went
home to his house, and, putting his hand
into closet in the dark, felt it seized sharp
Iy. Upon Withdrawing it, he found large
rat adhering TO him SO firmly that he could
not shake the creature off till he had killed
it. The wound left was inconsiderable,
and Mr.. Hays thought nothing of the mat
ter until his hand began to swell. Upon
calling medical aid, it was found that the
virus had spread through his system, and
he now lies in very dangerous state. In
the opinion of the physician amputation
would be useless, and he can live but
short time. The swelling in the hand has
now subsidized, and it appears as if Hithered.
