fifty feet 10 length, and two stories high.
The shops consumed, were occupied for

the different branches of hardware, All
the machinery and tools were entirely
destroyed. A very large quantity ofsad
dlery hardware was in the buildings
which now lays in heaps among the ruins.
A large quantity ofsaddle>lrees and hames
was also consumed.
Our excellent Gre department was soon

from consuming the building occupied as
carpet and cooper sLops-which building
is some three hundred feet in length
This building was on fre several times
but was readily extinguished. All was
saved that ii was possible 10 save, after
the 6remen arrived. Many cords Of sea-
soned timber for making saddle.tr trees and
hames we're stacked up 10 the buildings,
which were all destroyed. The loss Of

An honest man, remarkable for the
singularity and doggedness of his opin-
ions, had been several times on jury,
and always entertained notions Of law
and justice totally at variance with the

that he always gave so much trouble 10

gravity, 81 don't know how it is, but il

JOHN WADLEIGH'S TRIAL.
SLEEPING IN MEETING.


Justice Winsiow. What do you know

no secret l guess.
Justice. Then tell us all about it ;
that's Just what we want to know.
Understanding his head -
Well, the long and the short of it is,
John Wadleigh is hard working man ;
that is, he works mighty hard doing
nothing; and that's the hardest work
there is done. 1t will make Teller
sleep quicker than poppy leaves. So it
stands to reason that Wadlcigh would
naturally be very sleepy sort of a per-
son. Well, the weather is sometimes
naturally considerably warm, and Parson
Moody's sermons are sometimes rather
heavy-like--
Stop, STOP" said Justice Winslow,
" No reflections upon Parson Moody !;
that is not what you were called here to
testify"
Witness. l don't cast any reflections
on Parson Moody. was only telling
what know about Wadleigh's sleeping
in meeting.
Justice. Well, go on, and tell US all
about it. You weren't called here to
testify about Parson Moody.
Witness. That's what Pm trying to
do if you wouldn't keep putting me out.
And it's my opinion in warm weather,
folks is considerably apt to sleep in
meeting, especially when the sarmon-I
mean especially when they get pretty
tired. | know l find it pretty hard
work TO get by seventhly and eighthly in
the sarmon myself; but if | once get
there, | generally get into kind of a
waking train again, and make out to
weather it. But it isn't SO with Wad-
leigh; I've generally noticed that he be-
gins to cape at seventhly, and eighthIy !;
it's a gone goose with him before he
gets through tenthly, and he has to look
for another prop for his head somewhere,
for his neck isn't stiff enough to hold it
up. And from tenthly to sixtcenthly
he's as dead as a door nail, till the Amen
brings the people up to prayers and
Wadleigh comes up with jerk, Just
like opening a iack-knfe.

LORENZO DOW.

Some years since, Lorenzo preached
at Charleston, S. c., and in the course of
one of his sermons, attacked with some
severity the character of a citizen who
had lately died, and whose death, he al
legged, was In consequence of his vices.
For this, he was at the instance of the
relatives of the diseased, prosecuted and
found guilty by jury. The court sem
fenced him to pay small fine, and en-
dure a short Imprisonment. The Gov
ernor of the State, however, pardoned
him and paid the fine himself
The next Sunday, Lorenzo preached
10 crowded audience, commencing as
follows:
lhere was, we learn from the New
Testament, cert' in rich man who lived
| think, in Jerusa ZEN. and his name was
Dives. He WAS clad in robes of purple
and linen ,.ari Jared sumptuously every
day. That is, he lived high, or what
might be called diSSipaied. Now there
was also, / think, in Jerusalem a certain
beggar named Lazarus, who asked to be
fed only with the crumbs that fell from
the rich mans table. He lay down at
the gate of his rich palace, but the rich
man would not hear him, and set the
dogs on him. So this poor beggar died,
ana then his sorrows ended, for he was
carried by angels to Abraham's bosom.
YES Lazarus went up aloft, his spirit
scared up TO heaven, where all good men
will go when they die. But, nv breth-
rem, you will ask what become Of Dives
the rich man. Why, my friends. he
died also, and don't know but he died
drunk will not, however, say so
positively, for don't know but he has
some relations among those who now hear
me, and may be prosecuted for detam-
