STEAMER ST. LAwRENCE.-We had occasion
few days since, our return from Boston,
to take passage in the Steamer st. Lawrence
Capt. Sturdivant, for Portland and so well
pleased were we with her fine accommodations
gentlemanly officers, and the swanlike buoyancy
with which she rode the sea, that we cannot
refrain saying word or two in her praise
Capt. Sturdivant is thorough seaman, careful
and attentive to the wants of passengers, as all
who have placed themselves on board his boat
are ready to testify. Mr.. Moore, the clerk, and
Mr.. Weedman, the steward, are both gentle
men of eminent qualifications for their several
departments, and are particularly assiduous in
their efforts to secure the comfort and conve-
nience of travellers.
Our citizens who have occasion to visit Bos-
ton, will find this a very pleasant route. The
ST. L. runs in alteration with the Atlantic, lea
wing Portland and Boston every evening except
Saturday and Sunday, at o'clock. We are
pleased to learn that these steamers are now
doing first rate business.

Destructive Fire in Rockland.

We learn that the town of Rockland was on
Sunday morning last the scene of one of the
most destructive conHagrations that ever oc-
eurred IN this state. Fire was discovered at
about O'Clock in barn in the rear of S. Pills
bury's store, Main street, which, together with
the store OF w. A. Farnsworth, were soon in
flames. "A fresh breeze was blowing at the
time, and the fire was soon communicated to
the mass of wooden buildings surrounding. and
spread with fearful rapidity. correspondent
OF the Tribune says the entire mass from Lar
kin Shows store to Lime Rock ST., and up that
to Holiness Block, inclusive, were utterly de-
stroyed. Thence the flames crossed to the
easterly side OF Main ST. and swept everything
parallel with the foregoing Among the lat
ter were Messrs. Berry's stable and lumber
yard, and Dennis & Thorndike's stable. The
Commercial House, the only hotel in the vii
iase, was among the first destroyed, most Of
the boarders in which had not time to say
their clothes. The aggregate Of losses cannot
now be ascertained it is estimated from $780,
600 to $4,000. There were burnt % Stores
s dwelling houses, law offices, dentists and
2 physicians Offices, daguerrean rooms,
2 BARRIERS shops, livery stables, and other
small buildings. More than one quarter of the
village is in ruins

An extra from the Office of the Rockland Ga
zette estimates the amount of property de-
stroyed to be 100000, upon which was insur-
ance to the amount Of about $780, During
the fire, John Spofford dislocated or broke the
bones of his shoulder by falling through the
scuttle of store. The wife Of DR.. Frye also
was injured, though not seriously, it is thought,
by getting from platform in the rear of her
flames had driven her, as she left the house the
second time. John Bennett, also, in rescuing
a quantity Of hose, had his hands and face
burned, though not dangerously.

The Lame Girl of Crowland.

DR.. w. B. Sloan-Sir: My daughter, of about
ten years old, had been very lame, and had suffer-
ed wonderfully for year more with bunch or
swelling on her knes, which was produced by an
injury she received IN falling. Her knee had got
to be full double its natural size. and nothing
seemed to help it or make it any better. Besides
blistering, we tried many other remedies prescri-
bed by the physici ans, without any benefit or re.
lief to the girl. then heard of your Ointment.
and in September last procured one box of it at
Sloan's Medicine Depot in Buffalo, N. Y. We
used it rather sparingly. but she received such
benefit from it that procured another box, and
by the time the second box was half used up the
girl was we'll of her lameness, and the bunch or
swelling had entirely disappeared. We used the
Ointment rather faithlessly at first, and doubtless
it we had used it more freely and constantly, the
cure would have been accomplished in less than
half the time. Yours,
JACOB WADE.

For very fine specimen Of peaches
and pears we are under obligations 10 Mr.

By tie way, il has become rather dan.
gerous for US to notice the reception oi
fruit. II seems that q set Of bad boys,
about town, take advantage Of the infor'
nation thus furnished, TO steal apples,
peaches and pears from those persons
whose fruit we may notice as being partic
ulariy good. We don'tknow but it would
be good idea to publish the names o.
boys guilty Of such conduct. Wonder

Emigration from Ireland.

The emigration from Ireland still con-
tinues. The Limerick Examiner writes:
1.-The rage of emigration is not only not
abated in this port, but seems on the in
crease; every other day ships are depart
ing with their fullest complement of pas
sengers. and many are disappointed for
the want of shipping accommodation
There are about half dozen fine emf
grant ships now in port rapidly filling.
most of which will sail next week, full
freighted with human burden" London
derry, Cork, Sligo, and Waterford, are
sending out vessels with emigrants TO A.
merica. The high rates of wages which
the peasantry have been receiving since
spring have enabled them to raise suffi'
cheney of money to pay their passage to
America. Those who are remaining in
the country declare that, after harvest, they
will follow the train of so many Of thei'
countrymen.
