The District Court,

His Hon. Judge Sewers is holding his
first Term in this county, with a docket
of about sixty causes. First impressions
are highly favorably to Judge Sewers,
and we predict that his administration

manifests intimate familiarity with the
duties OF the Bench; is prompt and de-
cisive in his decisions; and seems to hold
the scale of justice with steady and i'm
partial hand. The Judge is quite young
man TO occupy this responsible position;
but he is sound lawyer and able jurist,
and every way qualified by reading and
experience TO wear the Judicial ermine.

FIRE AT QUlNCY.--W learn from Mr..
Allen, clerk Of the steamer Prairie State,
IN yesterday morning from Keokuk that
fire broke out in Quincy at late hour
on Thursday night, which, before i.couid
be stayed, caused the destruction OF two
valuable Touring establishments and
large amount of grain. The fire broke
out in the lower story of Smiths Mill.
and from thence spread to the Eagle
Mills adjoining, which latter was soon
reduced TO ashes. The amount Of stock
in Smiths Mill was but small. but there
was about 5000 bushels of prime wheat
stored in the Eagle Mills, all of which
was consumed with the building. The
Eagle Mills were owned by Messrs
Wheeler e. Osborn, aud were, together
with the stock insured for 50, 900 about
three fifths of their value. A part OF tho
loss falls upon the Charleston s. e. }
agency of this city.
The Eagle mills have long been ceie-
brated for turning out uperior article Of
-four, and the brand will be seriously
missed IN this and other markets.--Mo.
