FRE-A carpenters shop situated on Marshall street.
between 9th and 18th streets, occupied by Mr.. VIM. Fl.
Woodward was fired by ncendiary yesterday morn
ing about2 o'clock The shop being filled with COM
bustble materials was enveloped by the flames before
the alarm was given. The tiremen as usual turned
out with aacrity but owing to scany supply OF wa
ter unable conne the flames to the carpenters
shop. A couple Of wooden tenements, belonging to
the heirs of George Richie, deceased, situated few
yards West of the carpenters shop took fire. and were
destroyed. These tenements occupied respective
y by the Misses Richie and Mr.. Robert Muirhead. The
furniture in both tenements saved, though portion
sustained damage by the hasty removal.
Mr.. Woodwards loss has not been accurately ascer-
tanned, though We learn it is not heavy, there being
only small quantity of finished work in the shop t
the time 1t was fired No insurance on either shop or
contents.
The tenements destroyed were insured for only $500
in the Richmond Fire Associaton--a sum, we fear, IN
sufic lent to cover the loss.
The scarcity of water experienced at the fire attr
butable to the fact that the Reservoir of the City Wa
ter Works is present undergoing alterations for
the purpose of adapting it to the increased supply OF
water which will be forced into it when the add
onal pumps shall be put into operation. We under
stand the Watering Committee expect to complete all
their Improvements by the 1st OF July next, when we
shall not only be blessed with clear pure and whole
some water but, what is better still, we shall, all
times and under all exigences have abundant supply.

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

Kanawha District-A correspondent of the Wing

majority over Carr, D., in Cabe about 100 in Wayne
and about 345 in Logan and Wyoming. According to
returns given by the Kanawha Republican he gets 139
in Kanawha, and 50 in Mason and Carr gets 1l9 in
Putnam and about 65 in Jackson. These results sum
up a net majority for Ward so far, of 552. Boone,
Fayette and Nicholas yet to hear from, which will
scarcely reduce Wards majority below 500]
1t is very strange that Notwithstanding the majortes

The Bed-Bug GuillOtine.

Much PLEASED to find we've not been sighted,
By those whose custom we've invited,
And grateful thanks we make to all
Who've bought and PAID made CALL
Encouraged thus, again We'll show
The aforesaid shop of jim u co.

To Stevenson's or Snglesbaugh
One.up the hill, the other below,
And thus attempt TO jump Jim Crow
For if you do we'll let you know,
We'll not admit you TO the show.
We've bought the patent-the county's mine,
We mean the bed-bug GtallotiRe.
Then come We all who love sweet mapping,
Without such t,Citclting, Jerking, scratching,
As found with bed-steads poorly made,
By such as learn but half the trade.
Whose pins, and holes, and points attest
All will compose the clincher's rest,
From whence they rally at dead of night,
And pierce your veins with venom bite.

Your shelves and blankets from the Bugs,
Come buy of us and you shall find
There's nothing like the GlHHOtlle.
But what's the mode? come, tell your plan,
Well buy your bedsteads to "a man!
We've bought the patent, as said to you
Called the PerGnlbtjGiiRg ScrelC.
So close they press the bugs together
You'd sell them well fer harness leather;
And if YOU get Van DorenS price
You'll pay for bedsteads in II trice;
For three and twenty cents together

But our liquid fadge is best of all,
A bottle give to each that call;
Its easily given, easy to take
Sure TO kill and no mistake.
By pressing gently on the pate
The mouth flies open like gate:
There, drop one drop-cnough is said
And I'll ensure the creatures dead.
Good law! ha massa, what Ounce,

So easy done just by a squeeze,
Just do good lady as you please. %
