On the 96ih ult., at Newberry, Lycoming

EXTENSIVE CoNFLAGRATIos IN New Or
LEANs.-About half-past o'clock last even
ing fire broke out in the store No. 81 Old
Levee, next door 10 the corner OF Toulouse
street. We fastened to the spot immediate.
ly, and found so rapid had been the progress
of the flames, that the two adjoining build
ings were already enveloped in the devour-
ing element. The building in which the fire
originated was closed al the time, and it is
supposed, therefore 10 have been fired by an
ncendiary. In short time the cofee-house
on the corner Of Toulouse street, and No Sc
occupied by MIR. Burseno as grocery, were
almost completely destroyed, and the flames
soon spread to No, IS, occupied as clothing
sloIe by Mr.. Dandullo. The upper stories Of
this building were completely consumed, but
the lower portions were not so much injured.
Of Nos. SO and 81 nothing is left but the
walls, while not much more remains of the
coffee house of Mr.. Santa Marina. All these
buildings are the property Of Mr., Philip
Avegno, who estimates his loss at so5, 200 to
$4,000. The loss on the stock contained in
the stores we have no means of ascertaining
at present, but presume the total loss will not
fall much short Of 5000. On the buildings
there was no insurance.-E, o, Crescent 2sd Wit,

~ An account Of the recent riots in
Canada will be found in another column.
The difficulty proceeds from bill passed
to remunerate the persons whose property
was destroyed during the rebellion some
years ago. Those who are to be benefited
by the bill are the French inhabitants, who
are said to have been the instigators and
supporters of the Rebellion. The English
population are opposed to its passage, and
by them the riot was melted. They rebel,
not against the Queen, but against her Co
vernon, Lord Elgin, whose recall they de-
mand. In case the Queen does not COM
ply with their demands, and veto the bill,
there will be exciting times among the Ca
nadians. The previous outbreak was pre-
mature, and from present appearances they
would not be more successful now.

makes this remarkable distinction between
the two, In Canada, settler may be as
successful as in the United States, so far as
individual exerions go, but in the latter, he
gains not only by his own exertions but by
the activity of those around him How true
this is. Many man has grown rich by

ACTION OF THE KENTUCKY CONVENTION.
prrreprpc Mo-,

fITTsBURG, May j.
The Convcuton assembled at Frankfort
Kentucky, for the purpose of considering
what course il becomes those who are oppos-
ei 10 the increase and perpetua,ion of slavery
in that State 10 pursue, has adopted sundry
propositions.
First-Believing slavery as it exists by law
in Kentucky injurious TO the Commonwealth
inconsistent with the fundamental principles
Of free government, and contrary 10 the ma
tural rights Of mankind, and therefore that it
ought not 10 be perpetua,ed.
Secondary scheme of emancipations
ought 10 be prospective, operative, upon me-
sroes born after The adoption of the scheme,
and therefore the following points are re-
commended TO be inserted in the new con-
siiiution:-
lst. The absolute prohibition of the impor-
tation of slaves into Kentucky
I'd. To confer the complete power on the
people of Kentucky 10 perfect under the new
constitution system for the gradual prospec.
tive emancipation Of their slaves.
THE framing PRIvILEGE.-Mr. Cist, OF
the Cincinnati Advertiser, has the following
fact, which is only one among number OF
the same sort, going to show that the Frank
ing Privilege ought TO be abolished dit is
within my knowledge that Senator from
one OF the Western States has franked during
the last session OF Congress packages of books
and pamphlets TO single post-office, weigh
ing, as ascer,ained by The postmaster, 1876
pounds. Among these was the Congressional
Globe, in -four volumes bound. This excels
the impudence of Senator of Mississippi,
who, in 1885, flanked from Washington City
home, complete set Of the Waverly Novels
in 2s volumes, and weighing a5 pounds, as
public documents.

20 WINTER has departed at last, and
Spring has come, the more welcome by her
long delay. The trees are covered with
blossoms, the tender leaves are Just putting
forth, and the fields in every direction che
quered with various shades Of green. The
country is the place to live in the summer.
Who does not prefer the fragrant grass, the
pure breeze that has just swept over beds of
flowers, the bright sunshine stealing through
the newly leafed trees, the songs of the
birds and hum Of busy bees, to the stony
streets, the tainted air, the glare and suffio-
eating heat reflected and radiated from
brick walls, and deafening rattle of thou
sand carts Of our citiese The country is
the place TO enjoy life purely and there
is no part of it which offers so many in
ducements 10 those fortunate ones who are
able to leave the noise and hustle of the
city, as this neighborhood, situated as it is
on the banks Of the beautiful Susquehanna,
and surrounded by such magnificent scene
ry. Look in which way you will, the eye
never tires of the agreeable variety that
presents itself. The massive grandeur Of
the mountains, the green slope of the hill
side dotted with cattle, the broad fields of
waving grain, the waters at one place calm,
broad and deep, at another rushing and
foaming among innumerable rocks, the
dark shade of the woodland, and white
walls of hamlet and village, are presented
at one oeulade. We have lived here for
years, yet each day we see new beauties
fresh attractions about our village home.
Then too, the glorious beauty OF our
sunsets that rival those Of Italy in splendor,
are enough in themselves to repay the ia
tigue of the journey and all the pageants
that ever dazzled the eyes Of the Philadel-
phians are as nothing when compared with
the awful sublimity of a thunder storm
among the mountains.
Our streets are .as clean and neat as the
paths of well directed garden. The
Hotels are the very best. Without any
pretension, no parade Of columns and por-
ticos, but quiet, and plain in appearance; ;
and such salmon, trout and mountain NUT
ton, such white bread, rich cream and yell
low butter, as grace their tables, would
throw an epicure into ecstacies. Those
who prefer boarding houses, Miss Morris
charming residence, and Mr.. Lazarus de-
lightful mansion, could not fail to please.
