Destructive Fire in New York.

New YORK. Aug. "a.
A fire broke out about len o'clock last
night, in the Pearl Street House. The
lower part of the building was occupied
by Manley & Co., as store room for
liquors. There were nearly three hun
dred persons in the house-most Of them
in bed-and many Of them had to escape
in their night clothes. One lady lost
every thing she had. An agent named
Brown, lost money and notes to the
amount of $4,000, which was in a trunk
in his room. A fireman named Tibbetts,
fell from the fifth story of the building,
and was taken up dead. Another fire.
man was injured by the falling OF por
ton of the building.
The cause OF the fire is supposed 10 be
leaky gas pipes.
The whole block OF buildings was
burned. The Pearl Street House was in.
sured for $4,000, and the remainder of

A RUsH.-On Tuesday last, we had
occasion to visit the Steam Mill of the
Messrs. Bum, Walterhouse & Bum,
and were really gratifed to see the bu-
Sness aspect of that portion of our town.
There were in the neighborhood of fifty
wagons, ladened with wheat, containing
on an average, some twenty bushels each.
This, at 80 cents per. bushel, would a.
mount to over $1,000 cash. This GER
tainly speaks well for our town. Who
says Railroads are of no use to the
farmer. Bring in your grain farmers,

Mr.. EDIToR:-Permit me through your
columns, to advise some of the "would-
be-ever-so-nice, to clear their own skirts
of baseness, ere they undertake to ca
lumniate the character Of their neighbors.
There are some who will despise their own
virtues, and censure their own vices, in
others. Nobody laughs at the folly of
another so much as a fool; no man be-
lieves another SO little as a liar; no peo-
pie censure the talkative more than great
takers. Misers daily condemn covetous-
ness; and squanderers rail at extrava-
gance in others. If one lady calls the
chastity of another in question, she gives
suspicion of herself.

MANS Likings and Dislikings.

There is nothing more strange, and at
the same time more common, than for
one man to judge of another, by his own
taste. We hear every day one neighbor
censuring another for bis manner of life.
though nobody can determine which Of
the two leads the best, whilst each Of
them follows his own inclination. Wesay
to proverb, every man as he likes
And whoever lives according to his own
liking, always lives happily, though in
his neighbor's eye he may appear to live
miserably. He who follows his own in
clination is happy. When we censure an
others manner of eating and drinking,
his studies or labors, his solitary or So
cial life, &c, it is no better than saying,
Regulate your appetite according to
mine; and though your taste and consti-
tuition may be different, yet live as l and
others do" This is downright tyranny,
and making one man the tormentor of
another; for to deprive me Of what like
is robbing me of my choice, and natural
liberty.
