which, though partaking somewhat OF novelty,
is only rivaied in fact by the narrative OF So

brought up, apparently leless, st'li cingng to
his iug. Animation was happily restored al
ter much difficulty, and the man snatched, as
il we're from the car Of the demon Bacchus,
whose pathway to eternal ruin is not clrcuN-
scrihcd by fire or flood. This event readily
elected the benevolent interference OF those
ucood Samartans,n the friends Of temperance,
and throuoh them he was induced to attend
meeting of the Washington Temperance socie-

self to total abstinence, in future, from all that
intoxicates. The incident was embraced as
matter of rejoicing, and, added to the remarks
Of Messrs Curlett, Meeks, Matchett, and Hy-

extensive building, large stock of wool, and
most of the goods in the store were entirely

also informed that there is an insurance on the
= building and stock Of $40, 900 in the Merchants
Office of this city, and $4,000 in the Equitable
Society. The fine woollen factory, a short
distance from the buildings consumed, was
saved nv the hands on the place assisted by neigh
bors who attractedto the scene by the light

firenen from the city, with their apparatus
proceeded some distance into the country, op'
