Ep1roK1AL CoNvENTIoN.-The conven-

FpIToK1AL CoNvENTIoN.-The conven-
ton of editors, held at Harrisburg on the
lst inst, adopted a series of resolutions re-
commenting that papers should be allowed
TO circulate free of postage within the con-
gressi0nai districts in which they NAV be
published, and urging upon the Legislature
the benefits which would accrue to the
people, were the laws annually passed,
published in all the papers of the State.
The resolution of the editorial convention
of Vermont, discountenancing personalities
in editorial intercourse, was adopted, and
measures taken to carry out the recon-
mendations in regard to postage, and the
publication of the laws.
We regret to say that the petition for a
more general publication of the laws has
been summarily disposed Of by the Sen
ate, that enlightened body having deter
mined to continue paying $4,000 or $4,000
year for printing German pamphlet laws,
which nobody buys or reads, when that
sum, properly expended, would publish
the laws in every paper in the State,
English and German.

F,REs.-A stable owned by Francis
Mcclure, Esq, on Water street, near the
stone bridge, was fired on Sunday morning
last. about 2 o'clock, and a horse belong
ing to an old gentleman named M'Alister,
ON a visit to a relative, taken therefrOm.-
The fire was discovered by Christian
Smith, brewer, and with the aid of his
hands, extinguished before much damage
was done. Thus far nothing has been
heard of the horse.
At one o'clock on Tuesday morning, a
fire broke out in new two story frame
building on Wayne street, opposite the
Pioneer Company's stables, which was
totally consumed. The building attached
to it, designed for bowling alley, was
also partly burnt They were erected by
Mr.. THOMAS +. SKULL, patent pump man
ulacturer, at cost of about $1,000, and at
the time of the fire were finished, with the
exception Of painting. The engine and
hose were promptly on the spot, and ar
rested the progress of the flames, saving
fully one-half of the bowling alley. The
loss is estimated at from S400 to $780,
There was no insurance, Though an appli-
cation was pending at the time. The
shavings having been removed from the
lower part of the building the day before
being uninhabited-and no fire used
about the premises-there can be no doubt
whatever as to It's origin; twas designed
ly fired.

EXPLANAToRY.-W.R II. BEALE, conduc-
tor of the burthen train that came in con-
tact with the passenger train week before
last, has published card, in which he al
leges that the accident was caused by a
difference OF ten minutes time IN their
watches. While passing Harrisburg he
took in two barrels of crackers, and not
being allowed to stop the train, he was
much hurried, and forgot to look at the
office time. Having set his watch the day
previous, he depended on It's being right,
and when about leaving Duncannon for
Bailey's station, he found that, by his
time, he had forty-two minutes to make
the distance-only eight miles-and ac-
cordingly started. Subsequently, on COM
pairing watches, there was found to be a
difference of ten minutes between them.

ARREsTs.-Three young men were az
rested on Tuesday evening, on suspicion
of having fired Shulfs bowling alley, and
after an examination before a Justice of
the Peace committed for trial. One has
been released on bail, and the others are
now in Jail, but whether they intend to re-
main in that rickety concern until the
April Court we cannot tell. The cyi-
dence against them IS circumstantiai but
strong, and unless they can show their
whereabouts at the time by good testimony,
it may 90 hard with them. We forbear
giving names for the present, as we cannot
call them guilty of SO heinous an offence
until convicted.
IN Irishman was arrested at Freedom
Forge the other day, where he was en-
ploycd, for secretly appropriating to his
own use and benefit few hundred dollars
worth of store goods. When brought 10
the Jail from the Justices office on We'd
nesday evening, he gave the constable leg
bail just as they reached the Jail door, and
the constable falling ON the ice as he al
tempted TO strike or grab him, Pat was in
a fair way of escaping, when another per-
son pursued the lucklcss wight and caught
him in d stable near the aqueduct.

More Fires.

Painful as Is the conviction, there can
no longer be d doubt of incendiarism being
rife IN our town. Life and property are
now al stake, and where all are 50 deeply
interested, the question may well be mooted
whether it is not time to adopt some NUM-
cipal regulations by which our streets can
rotng, &c, apt precursors to the state of
things now existing, for which they have
for year or two become so notorious
Various measures have been suggested to
remedy the evil, but all of a temporary
character. A permanent one, in our opin-
ion, would be much better. To effect this,
it would not be necessary 10 incur an an
nuaI expenditure of more than $500 or
500, which would secure at least two
good watchmen. Let proper persons be
selected-men who viii do their duty
and empowered with authority to arrest all
disturbers of the peace, as well as ali sus-
! plclous characters who may prowl about
| al unreasonable hours; let no mistaken
/ policy be adopted of renting fines, no
matter who the parties are, arhefher big
bugs or Ehie bugs but let all know that
Law and order shall and must be preserved,
and our word for il few months will suE
flee TO restore confidence. 4 temporary
measure, we are satisfied, will do no good,
while permanent one, even with the linn
tied force proposed, will gradually, but
surely, work thorough reform.

Gently imprisoned by Judge Shaler for ut

accordingly selected him TO office although
at the time in prison. Gov. Johnston
subsequently pardoned him, and he is now

last, and during the morning disposed of a
number of cases of rowdyism, &c. A
tavern keeper made complaint to him of a
drunken man having broken his windows,
after getting drunk in his house. As it
was the mans first offence, he fined him
G7 cents and costs, and let him go, and he
warned the doggery-keeper to beware how
he conducted his house in future, as he
was determined on furnishing as well the
men who made the drunkards as those
who got drunk. He also gave his officers
! instructions to return the names of all
proprietors of drinking. gambling and
/ other establishments, who had violated the
/ law in keeping open houses on the Sab
