capital 1t Washington was discovered to be on
fire in the library. The alarm was Immediate
" given, and in short time most Of the mem,
beers Of congress and many others were on the
ground doing their utmost TO extinguish the
flames, but on account of scarcity Of water
this was not accomplished until about two
thirds of the library was destroyed. including
most OF the historical records. The fire origi.
mated from the furnaces by which the library
WIS warmed. The building being FIRE proof
little other damage wac done.

McCORMCK's REAPER.-Since Mr. Ms re-.
turn from England where he had enjoyed the
greatest triumph which had been achieved
by American skill and genius at the Worlds
Fair he has turned his attention with great
or degree Of perseverance and zeal than ever TO
manufacture his now world.iamcd reapng ma.
chimes. Every new improvement which the
invention of the proprietor can suggest is be.
ing added to the machines; and they are be.
ing turned out from the hands of the workmcn
and the machinery of the factory in a better
and more durable and highly finished style
than eyer.-Chicd1o Democrat!
There is one fact connected with these
famous reapeis which is perhaps not generally
known, and tina, is, the sickle used in the one
which took the premium at the Worlds Fair,
was the cut.edged sickle, which was invented
in this county, and first manufactured by Mr.,
Slack OF this town and is the only one capa
bic Of performing the work well in wet gram
The invention is claimed, VIC believe, by seyc
raj citizens Of this county, and has, therefore
never been patented.

CAUSES OF THE FIRR IN 1HE CArrAL-There
are several causes given for the recent fire in the
Congressional Library. One is that it originated
from the furnaces; another is that some nsendu
airy documents had secretly been deposited there
The most plausible reason, however, is that Mr.
Hale had been in the library preparing som,
fire.brands to throw into Mr.. Foote's resolution:
upon the Compromise Measures, and that be had
mixed up with them n little too much locofocism
and that they ignted prematurely.
