FlRE-About o'clock on Monday
evening, our villagers were startled by
the unusual cry Of Fire, and at the same
instant asheet Of fame was seen issuing
from the roof and windows in the rear
part Of the building owned by Messrs.
Clock and Grannis, adjoining Wheeler's
Hotel, in West street. Our citizens raj
lied promptly, and, by great exertions,
succeeded in arresting the progress of
the destroying clement task which for
a time seemed hopeless. The damage
to the building and its contents is con-
siderable-not so much from the fire it.

val of goods. DC. The building was oc~
cupied by Mrs. Daniels. Milliner; I. H d.
Richards. Merchant Tailor; DR.. E. w.
Blake, Dentist; Judd's Daguerrean Gal
lery; S. Clocks Boot and Shoe Store J;
and the Republican Printing Ofice--on
the premises of which the fire originated,
apparently from defective chimney.
Had there been violent wind, the
entire corner would in all probability
have been destroyed. There is not a more
combustible Place in any town in the
state, than from the point where the fire
originated to Baldwin's store in South st.
We hope the community will be aroused
to the Importance Of procuring an En-
CINE, and organizing Fire Company.
We have in our midst an abundance of
active. public spirited young men, who,
if properly organized, would make an eff
fective and useful "Fire Department.
We have at present half dozen Fire
Wardens among our borough officers,
but we have no Chief Engineer, whose
duty it is to direct in case of fire.

Eg- Judge Dick Claiborne, under the
old cooked hat and enormous preroga-
tives of parish Judge, swayed the sceptre
of Northwestern Louisiana. with poten-
tiality and vigor hardly equaled at the
present day by the Gar of Russia
Among the multifarious duties and pow
ers of the parish Judge was that of auc-
tioneer. He sold all the property of sue
cessions in his parish. It happened on
one occasion, on selling out the property
of deceased grocer, that an unrul,
parishioner disturbed the order of the
proceedings. The judge fined him fifty
dollars, ard sent him to Jail for contempt
of court. An application was made to
him by an attorney to remit the fine and
release the prisoner. on the ground that
it wac no contempt of court, as the judge
when fulfilling the duties of auctioneer
was not court, and therefore not an OBJ
icct of contempt. The judge immedi-
ately drew himself up with all his dignity
and conscious power, and replied, " Sir,
I'll let you know that ! am Judge Of this

UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.-We have been
informed upon what appeGrs TO us TO be
correct aulbority.) ihala young man by the
name of EphrIam Beeman, was shot near
Skiff Mountain in, Kent few days since.
The particulars. as far as they have been
communicated by our informant, are as fOl",
lows:
ltappears that party Of frolicksome and
inconsiderate young men had been ont on
spree, beyond the mountain. On their res
turn, they stopped in front Of The house Of
one Nodlne, near the base Of the mountain
The occupants being within: and mistrustS
ing that their designs were Tiolous, locked
the door against them. They went forward
and demanded admission, at the same
time threatening 10 stave the door in, If res
fused. They were told to leave the premis>
es or they would be shot. They then seiz~
ed rail, burst in the door pannsl, and att
tempted to force an entrance. when Nodine
thrust his gun through the opening in the
door, and fired. The bah lodged in the
knee>pan of Beeman, who felLand was corr
veyed home by his comrades. So painful
was the wound, that the. lock- jay ensued.
The unfortunate young man fingered about
a week, and expired. Another sad proof Of
the destructive effects Of intemPerance ~

A SOUTHERN CoNFEDERAcY.-Mr. w.
J, Grayson, formerly member Of Con
gress from South Carolina, has addressed
a letter to the Governor Of that State,
pointing out the dangers and difficulties
of dissolution of the Union of these
States. He contends that if the present
Confederacy is broken up, the formation
of another would be difficult, and its con-
tinuance impossible. No future confed-
eracy can be sancti6ed like the present
by the memories Of the past; by associ-
atoms with the great men and great
events Of the grand epoch of American
history: by the wisdom and virtues of
the Father of his Country. If this Un-
ion cannot stand, there is no hope for the
continuance of any other.

California emigration having changed
their couse to Oregon. They report
great deal of suffering and sickness a.
