DEMooRArIc vEHIcLE.-The Messrs. Cook, carriage
manufacturers Of Orangest shipped for Washington last
evening most splendid coach, which they have just
competed 10 the order of Gen Cas- for his own USE 1t
is rather of the English style, with American improve
neus making less cumbrOu in appearance and yet re-
ts;nrr ali the Qualities of richness and strength The
color Is very dark violet the panels being 50 smoothly
finished and highly polished as to present almost the sur
face Of beautiful mirror. The Innings are OF ricn oie
and gold silk reps with silk lacings to correspond Inc
carsee is hung very low aud possesses all the requisites
Of an elegant vehicle for luxurious ease, without any al
tempt at gaudy display On the center OF the panel OF
small and neat wreath. Speaking tubes, card racks &c
of course form part of the appendices Of the coach In
Its various parts whole i combines more OF the rch
ness and elegance, with substantial qualities, than any
carriage we have for long time As specimen OF
mechanical skill il reflects the highest credit upon the
workmanship of the several men employed IN IT'S con-
the Union and it well BELTS the mature years anu high
position of the distinguished statesman tof whom It was
Designed. Gen Cass may have made mistakes in his po
ica career but he has exhibited good sagtcty In order
ing his family coach from this city and from the Wen
known factory of the Messrs. Cooke. There may be
more snowy establishments in Washington this winter
than this but if Gen C. procures span of horses 10
any degree proper to be placed before it, few will eclipse
it in all that good taste VIII appreciate. 49,,

e3OOO0 Not halt the amount Of goods and merchandise
on the burnt district saved The buildings were all
OF wood and they burnt with great rapdity This is sad

Many of the buildings will be replaced Immediately we
are done for; burned out our whole place-the entro
Emporium Block, SO feet by $780, with nearly the whole
contents Only few dry goods and part of our office
were saved. We at least $4,000 losers by the fire
much than at first suppO.ed We have our head

We Lave now only to ask the indulgence Of our creditors
end the favor of immediate settlement by all who are III
dc bted TO u.s. We see timber and lumber Gready coming
in for the erection of buildings upon the burnt district
Many OF neighbors and citizens subscribing hbe
rally for the relief 81 the sufferers.
The CigarMakers Of this State arranging the pre-
minaries necessary call for State Convention, to
be held in Syracuse sometime in May june next for
the purpose of establishing uniform scale OF prices
throughout the State well considering and improving
the condition OF the trade generally Circulars are now
being sent all over the State for signature and when
they shall the call will be issued signed by the
various localities authorizing such call Every shop to
be entitled to at least delegate and many moro as
they afford TO send by paying their expenses to and
from the Convention. The smaller shops where the jour
neymen limited, viii Of course unite two more
together in sending delegate. An idea has been sug-
gesed which is thought good one to meet all conngen
ces peouniary they occur that is for each shop to
provide itself with box, kind Of savings bank placed
in conspicuous part of the shop and every workman
Saturday nights put in not less than certain minimum
toward paying that shops proportion in sending adeegate
TO Syracuse.
