GF In saying what we did in relation to
our papers being sent directly through to Mt.
Blanchard, we did not intend to charge the
Postmaster at Versailles with any neglect Of
duty, but did SO a; the reques of our subscri
bers at Mt. Blanchard, who say that they re
celve two or three papers at a time, frequently;
and that the papers Lave been mssent or de
layed somewhere for fve.wceks. We did not
pretend to charge any one with neglect of du
ty, but made the statement at requst. Build.
ing up one man at the expense of another is
ln'ng that we are entirety opposed to, and
haa no such Intention. But one thing is Ger.
tam, an error does exist in the mail routs be
tween this place and Mt Blanchard, and we
w'Ii not pretend to charge it upon any par
tlcuar person or Post Office.

Indian Troubies.-We learn that portion
of the Stockbridge Indians who have become
citizens, and those who are not so, have had
disturbances which are likely to prove serious.
The trouble arose in the attempt of the COL
lector to distrain for taxes. This was resisted
by the Indian party, and the collector, rein
forced by The citizen party, made second at
tempt and partly succeeded. The Indians
rallied ngain and recovered the property.
Thus the matter stands at present--both par
ties taking breath fer another attack. We
shall hear the result soon.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
about fifty Oneidas, armed, have gone up to
assist the Indian party. 'When Greek meets
Greek, then comes the tug of war.'-Green

Barbar'iy ofihe .uericans.-One of our
letters yesterday stated that Lit. Miller, an Of
ficer of the Ohio Volunteers, who was killed
at Chchroni, had his heart cut out and hung
upon bush! Ws.have since seen another
letter, stating that the body ofthe brave but
unfortunate Lit. Richie was horribly mutlated
after his death. His heart, too, was torn from
him, and afterwards stuck upon pole by the
road side. The blood boils upon reading such
worse than Indian barbar,ies.-.N o. Pic.

Who is there in this enlightened, Christian
community who would not cheerfully--nay
eagerly contribute his mite to place the word
of Eternal Truth in the possession Of every
destitute reader IN our county!
The Managers in complying v ith the res
oluions of the society, feel constrained Il
say that they have been essentially aided BY
Erastus Hlnman, Esqr. to whom much credit
is due for his indefatgable industry and per.
severance in the work of distribution, and 70,
the assistance which he has rendered to some
branches of this society, in their organization
and subsequent operations.
From the subjoined table, which has been
prepared chiefly by Mr.. Iinman, and which
is believed 10 be as accurate as the informal
and imperfect state Of some of the reports
would permit, it will be perceived that 1922
families, embracing e70l persons, have been
visited, which, it is believed, approxnates
very closely to an accurate census of the
county at this time. OF this number three
hundred and .fGy four families [more than
one fifth were found without whole Bible;
and one hnnd,ed and seventeen families. IA

found without any portion of the sacred vol
ume-a state OF destitution which it is be
ieved hut few would have supposed possible
int Christian community, enjoying so many
exalted privileges, as have fallento our in
'heritance.
There is deficiency in the reports of the
number of readers under Is years of age,
which is much to be regretted. The table
shows out of 1912, reported, 6l5 who were
destitute Of either Bible or Testament, of
their own, when visited. But startling as
these facts may appear, it is to be feared that
the desti,ution, in this respect, in our county,
is not greater than in many other newly set

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-One of the most
destructive fires with which Baltimore has been
visited Tor some years, occurred Yesterday. The
alarm was first given about one o'clock, and the
flames were seen issuing from the cabinet-ma.
kers shop Of Messrs. ]. & J. Williams, on The
alley in the rear of their extensive ive-story
warerooms on South near Pratt street. From The
combuslible nature OF The contents of the shop,
it was found impossible 10 check The flames,
which soon communicated 10 the warehouse
in front In This extensive building was stored
the finished work Of Messrs. Williams, com.
prising one Of the most handsome and extern
sive assorlments in the country, and we are
happy to say that considerable portion Of il was
saved before the tire reached that part OF the
building in which it was Stored, but large part,
embracing some cabinet ware OF The most costly
description, was burnt, together with the whole Of
the contents OF The workshop, and all the tools,
&c. Of the large number of workmen employed
by the enlerprising proprietors. When The fire
was subdued in this building, there was nothing
left standing except the bare walls, and some
smouldering raflers.
The fire next communicated 10 the large ware.
house adjoining, on the corner OF South and Pratt
streets, occupied by VIM. Chestnut, Esq. whole
sale grocer and commission merchant, some Of
the goods stored in il Having caught from The heat
Of the adjoining walls. The building was left
complete pile OF ruins, the walls of the two up
per stories having fallen in. Mos, OF the goods
stored on the lower floor Of this building were
saved by the firemen and citizens.
The fire next extended to the building adjoin-
ing, on Pratt street, occupied by Mes.rs. Middle
ton g. Dorsey, cigar and snuff manufacturers, and
by Mr. Peter Herman, cracker and biscuit baker.
The whole interior OF this house was likewise
burnt out, the occupants losing nearly all their
stock
The more destructive progress OF the flames
was here stayed. The root of the warehouse
adjoining on Pratt street, occupied by Mr.. John
Dowell, grocer and commission merchant, was
slightly injured by the flames.
The roof OF The building on South street, ad-
joining on The North, the establishment Of The
Messrs. Williams, and occupied by Messrs.
Conway & Armstrong grocery and commission
merchants, also caught fire, and the stock Of these
gentlemen was much injured by The walerlhrown
on it.
Tie origin OF this fire. which proved so de-
siructive, is attributed to an incendiary.
The whole amount of property consumed was
estimated by persons on the ground al from $780,
900 to 200 600 dollars
