FIRE-At about half past IL o'clock, on Sunday
night, FIRE broke out in the grocery store kept by
Samuel R. Nuckols in Lyons Row, No $50 Broad
street. between Sd and 4th streets and destroyed the
entire building and its contents. The flames were
communicated to the adjoining buildings one occu-
pied by S. H. Fisher shoe store; another by John
Z. Bradley, as grocery store: one occupied by E.
Straus Brother, dry goods store and one occu-
pied by Leopold Rose, as dry goods store. Mr..
Nuckels store and the upper portion OF the house,
tenanted by John R. Eckert, where MIR. n. boarded,
were completely Quilted and nothing saved. Mr.
Eckers lost all of his furniture which not insured
and has therefore been reduced to almost entire des-
tituton. MIR. Nuckols was insured for $1,000 in the
Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company. The
adjoining buildings were damaged by fire in the roofs;
considerable damage also resulted from the water
thrown upon the fire. Mr.. Fishers loss amounts to
very nearly $780, but he has only claimed $50 from
the Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company.
By the almost superhuman efforts of Mr. T. and
friends, his furniture and property placed in
curlty until the lire was subdued. Mr.. Bradley $
loss is covered by policy in the Virginia Fire and
Marine Insurance Company, and will not exceed S75
Messrs f. Strauss Brothers stock was damaged to
large amount, but they were fully insured in the
Mutual Safety Insurance Company of Philadelphia +;
NN
Fire Association. Leopold Rose estimates the dam
age to his stock, at $780, and is insured in virginia
FIRE and Marine Insurance Company. The buildings
belonged to James Lyons Esq, and we understand
that they were fully insured in the Virginia Fire and
Marine Insurance Company.
How the fire originated, is yet a mystery. Mr..
Nuckols states that about an hour before the FIRE
broke out he left the store and up stairs putting
out the ghtin the store and leaving everything
FULLY secured. There is evidence that the fire was
the result OF spontaneous combustion SO that it must
have been the work of ncendiary The roof of the
BOOK store kept by Mr. j. R. Rockingham was slightly
scofcned and the rooms occupied by his family were
ofehched with water These houses were all ten.
antso oy families some of whose members were snf

casioned their speedy removal was source of a,es.

IMPORTANT To STONE CUTTERs.-A piece
is going the rounds of the newspapers stating
the great mortality of stone cutters from the
dust that gets into their lungs. Now no man
need ever let that kill him. A damp sponge,
fitted as a muzzle over the mouth and nose,
and kept in place, like an old lady's specta-
cles, by string, is complete preventive. A
friend from the country assures US that he has
used it several years in threshng wheat, oats,
and clover in a close barn, with the greatest
benefit to all his hands; and that he himself
can now remain in his barn for hours, whereas
without it, he cannot endure the dust for TWEEN
ty min utes OF course what keeps out that
dust will exclude the coarser, though still very
minute, particles that are Clipped off from
stone. Ii is not unpleasant TO wear, at least
not as much so as it must be te take the dust,
and can be so arranged as not to interfere with
tobacco chewing.

Mr.. WRIGHT NOT DEAD.-We copied yes.

that Dir. Wright is not Dead and probably had
not the slightest idea of suicidal character
when he wrote the letter. Without know wing
any thing of the particulars, his friends enter.
tain no doubt tina, the whole affair was a wild
and waggish conceit of an unemployed mo-

waggish leer. Letters were received from mir.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The Wing Of yesterday INDUCES in some an
;madyersious upon the decapitaiion OF Wing
Office. holders. 1t asserts that the principle o
prescription contains within itself the seeds Of
ats own destruction, and argues that if ii is un
aerstood that the control of the Federal Go.
vernment gives to its possessors the right to
plumber a great empire, the very fact that the
plunderers are less numerous than the plum.
dered, will ensure their overthrow at the next
election.
The Wing also censures the Democratic
party for refusing, hitherto, all donations OF
public land from the General Government, and
sunposes that they will decline receiving any
apnropriation or fund for educational purposes,
in tine future, and twill continue TO present the
ridiculous attitude of standing aloof while
others are helping themselves bountifully,'
crying "hands off, it's sacred fund"
The Times condemns, in strong terms, the
bill which passed the Senate on Saturday, and
which increases the vote of the State in joint
stock companies. 1t declares the object of the
bill to be to put not only the 500, 100000 that
have been invested by the State in works Of
internal improvement, but the $15,000,OOC
that have been subscribed by individuals, al
the disposal of Democratic partizans, to be
welded by them for the benefit Of the Demo
cratic party.
The Morning Mail institutes comparison
between "progressives and conservatives
and gives a definition of the peculiar and ap'
propriate characteristics of each class.
The Enquirer calls attention TO the Democra.
tic meeting to be held this evening in the City
Hall for the purpose of organising the Demo.
cratic party for the approaching spring cleo.

tion to be held at Staunton on the second day
