FIRE.

Abou, noon on Tuesday the roof Of tn,
West wing Of the National Hotel was dis
covered to be on fire. by the prompt
action Of our citizens the fire was
checked before any great amount of damage
was done, but had there been the least hesita-
ton on the part af bystanders in going to
work the damage would have been immense.
A high wind was blowing at the time, and
this, together with the scarcity of water
render 1t probable that the whole building, il
not the adjoining ones would have been
entirely consumed.
An organized fire company is very much
needed here; and we presume the matter will
be talked of now for Il dny or two. and then
forgotten until--another fire!

DEATH OF Mr.. ATnERToN.-The Presi-
dent is suid To be much distressed at he death
of his personal friend, Mr.. Atherlon, one of
the u. s. Senators from New IIampshire.
Mr.. Atherton is we'll known throughout the
nation as the author OF the celebrated "Ath-
erton Gay" resolution which prevented the
reception OF Ablitiun PETITIONS in the House.
On the expiration of Mr.. II lr's term in the
U. S. Senate, last March, Mr. Pierce used his
influence in New Hampshire Ia secure the
return nf Mr.. Atherton, and succeeded: but
in 50 doing he murtally offended Edmund
Burke, who was candidate for the same
place. Mr.. Burke, in revenge, commenced a
crusade against the Administration, and has
contributed no little in fnmenting the demo.
cratic troubles in New York and Massaehu.
setts. The President thus nor only sees his
party distracted in consequence OF his efforts
to procure the return of Athertou 10 the Sem
ate, but loses, at very important period Of
his administration, the personal friend for
whom he staked so much.
Mr.. Atherton was not brilliant or pow
erlul man intellectually, but his personal in
tmacy with the President qualified him, above
others, FOR leading in defence Of the Admin.
istration in the Senate. The lead will now,
probably, fall to the lot Of Senator Cas-
Pits Gas. ''''

PAYING RENT.

In consequence of The very high rates of
taxation levied this year, some amusing scenes
occur. The farmers, however, feel in very
good humor on account Of the high prices
they are receiving for their grain, A day or
two since farmer from the Southern part of
the County stepped into the Treasurer's Office
and inquired the amount of his taxes. On
being told, he was reminded, we presume. of
the time when he used to call on his landlord
to pay his annual rent. sand are you not
going to allow me something for repairs!"
was the witty reioinder. A good idea-if the
State will charge reat let them either allow
for repairs, or make the repairs itself. Re-
pairs in the laws we mean.
