Extensive Confagration.

n lire broke out Yesterday morning be-
tween two and three o'clock, in the rear
of Mr., William Buffers dry goods store,
west side of King street, a few doors north
Of Morris street, which, from the rapidity
with which it spread, and the combusti.
LIc nature of the buildings in the neigh
borhood, for time, had most alarming
aspect, and threatened an extensive con-
fagration. AS it was, great many
buildings were burned, and an unusual
number of families left houseless, occasion
ing much Of individual hardship and
distress.
The flames were first discovered in the
stable of Mr.. Butler, and were almost
immedlately y communicated to the stables
of MIR. John Wilson, who, by extraordin-
ary excrtions, succeeded in cxtricating ten
of his horses, while u horse and mule per
ished in the flames, and all his draws, ten
or twelve in number were consumed. The
flames rapidly extended to Mr.. Wilson's
dwelling on Kingstrect and thence south
10 the dry goods store of Mr.. VIM. But
Ter, and the fine new thpoo otor, wooden
building at the corner of King and Morris
st. ec., occupied by Mr.. Levy Moses, all
OF which were consumed. All of the
foregoing were owned by Mr.. Moses. rs
was aiso one story tenement north of

ment north of Mr. Wilson's which. with.

Gardener, (colored) and story wooden
building, occupied 10y Mr.. III. Williams
and owned by Mrs. Blum, were also
consumed. The fire terminated here on
the west side Of King-strect.
On the east side, the grocery store at
the corner Of Read street, owned Ly Ms.
DAVIS; large two story wooden bilildino
owned and occupied by Mrs. Anthony'
and an extensive brick tenement in the
rear, occupied by DIR. VIM. Hummcl
and other families, also owned bv Mrs.
Anthony, one story wooden building,
occupied by Mr.. J. O'NeilI, shoernnke1
and two or three small buildings were con.
suned. The range of tcnements. sixteen
IN number, extending from King street to
the Railroad track, ard occupied bv n
large number of poor families, were rapid
y enveloped in flames and destroye T.
They were all owned by Mrs. Davis.
On the north side of Reed street the
store occupied by Mr.. Appler, at the corner
OF King, and the bakery in the rear, and a
two story wooden building, occupied by
Mr.. Tynsley, all Of which belonged To
the estate Of Bcnoist; and two small
wooden buildings, owned by Mrs. Whar-
ton, one OF which was occupied by NJ.
Desmond, were also consumed; bnt two
new framed buildings, between them and
the Railroad track, were saved.
The loss may be estimated at about
$40, 1000, Of which $4,000 were covered

Discovery Of Valuable Silver Mines,

lr IS stated that great excitement has
been created in the towns on the Rio
Grande, opposite III Paso, by the discovery
OF some very valuable silver mines on the
eastern slope Of the mountains, about sixtv
miles northeast Of Dona Ana. Tho ore 4
found in immense quantities directly ON
the surface ofthe ground, and several tons
OF it have already beon gathered. The
Houston Telegraph says
One mine is SO rich that the silver 4
extracted readily by melting il with 4
common log'fre Of pine. Lead ore is also
iound IN extensive veins, trayesine the
rocks ~ every direction. We are informed
that thousands Of tons Of lead osa,; similar
TO that obtained at the lead mines near
Gslena, canbe gathered on tho surface of
the ground, on the mountains east of II
Paso. Therei Is q large hilI near the silver
mines, that might with.proprioty be styled
the lead mountain, as Il seems ID DO An
immense nass Of galena o. lead ore. If
we may believe the accounts OF persons
who have visited these mines, they must
be TAR more extensive and valuable than
any Of the mines in Illinois or Wisconsin

BEaoERs OurwrrrED.-Many years ago
an ingenious plan was adopted by the
Grand Duke, to rid Florence of beppars,
1t was proclaimed that every beggar who
would appear in the grand plaza at a
certain mentioned time, would be provided
by the Duke with new suit of clothes,
free of cost. AT the appointed time, the
beggars of the city assembled, and the
Grand Duke causing all the avenues Of
the square TO be closed, compelled the
beggars to strip off their old clothes, and
gave each one, according to promise,
new suit. In the old clothes thus collected
enough money was found concealed to
build beautiful bridge over the Arno,
still called 'tbe beggars bridge" and the
city for the time being was relieved of
the beggars by which it had bcsn pre-
yiously overrun,none would give the we'll
dressed individuals who implored charity
not believing their tale of distress.-Pori-
land Adrertiser.
