Yesterday afternoon. commencing a;
bout 9 P. NJ. occurred one of the largest
fires which has happened here in several
years. The fire broke out in the smoke
house of Lot Pugh g. Co. corner of Canal
and Sycamore street. The FIRE at first
was small, and might have been control
led by the men in the house, aud probably
would have been, but for an unfortunate
mistake. One OF the men was directed
to slut some open windows and hatches
instead of which they were opened, and
the flames burst out at once. When we
arrived on the spot. the immense building
was complete conhagratior, and the ad-
joining one below of Stagg & Shay's
threatened. 1t seemed possible to save
THAT. but part only of the Engines had
arrived, and those were i'll supplied with
water. The result was that the building
of Stagg & Shay was also soon wrapt in
flames. These two buildings immensely
large-occupied about a block Of them
selves, being about 234 feet on Sycamore
street, and extending back TO the canal
The building next the canal was occu.
pied and owned by w F. johnson. The
next was occupied by Stagg & Shay,
We are informed that there was very
large amount of Lard and Pork and

we do mol know; but tit can scarcely be es-

We learn that $4,000 insurance was
effected on Pugh &>Co.. and $4,000 on
Stagg & Shay. The insurance is sup.
posed to be about half the loss Of the
merchants. We epresume the buildings

Keep The Lnmd-nlarks in Sight

Keep the Landmarks in Sight
Should there be any persons who get
confused and uncertain about the merits
ofthe controversy now waging in the
Ohio Senate-who scarcely see where to
find truth among the contradictory re.
ports and arguments which abound, they
have only to look to the landmarks of the
controversy, aud all will be clear. so
Remember, that no man ID entitled to
his seat in the Senate who is not elected
according to some law. ..- -.. s....
Remember, that Mr.. johnson has de.
clared in the Senate that in his election
The law was disrogarded. , s..s
Remember, that those who now claim
that Mr.. Johnson's election was in accor.
dance with The law, are contradicted by
Mr.. Johnson himself -...sJ ISL.
Remember, that those who now accuse
the wings Of violating law, and who claim
themselves to regard il as sacred, are the
very party who, less than two years ago
resolved that there was no law by which
a legislature could be held. al.
Reminder, that they are the same par
ty who one year ago, having no conf
dence in their claims. and unwilling tc
submit them to the arbilrament ofreason
took stealthy and violent possession oflhe
State House, and kept it from day to day
by force. - Is. Hla' s4,#
Remember, that after this proceeding
on their part, mode, deemed fair by
both parties, was devised. by which ,hei,
rights were submitted To vote, and the
House was organized. ..t. r, p
Remember, that the same mode wa,
agreed on this year in regard to the
House, by both parties, and the House
was organized without delay or trouble
Remember. ,ha, the wings of the Sen
ate offered to arrange Tho controversy il
the same way it has been twice arranged
in the House, and that their proposition
was rejected by the other side.
Remember, that the wings have alwayi
stood ready 10 ACT upon the same basis
and are still ready, aud that when the 10
coiocos get ready TO accept it, the Senat,
can be organized in an hour. .H
| R"mcmber, that all the nice argument
you hear from that side of the question
TO show that they are acting according t,
law, ure made by persons who in ls4S
declared there was no law in furce, ant
who are now conlradicted by the claim
ant himself, who says he was not elecle,
according to law, Er H.#
Bearing these things in mind, tho trull
will be clear. no matter what amount o
persuasion aud Misrepresentation the,
use to obscure your vision. Keep tn,
landmarks in sight.-OhiO State jour
