FIRE.

The destruction Of Messrs Lyman &
Shomo's Black smith shop and Carriage House,
by the fire on Friday last, resulted, we happy
to say, in but little damage to these enterpr,sing
citizens. LIN consequence of the high wind pre-
vailing at the time, the destruction of large
amount Of property was threatened The con-
tiguity of so many frame buildings, gave to the
fire an unusually alarming appearance, and but
for the prompt and efficient action of the citizens
generally, much of the most valuable property
in the city, would doubtless have been LAID in
ashes.
We take advantage of the opportunity which
is here presented, to suggest the improperly of
erecting frame buildings in the density built
portions Of the city. In all well regulated
cities, the erection Of frame buildings within
the limits Of the corporation, Is prohibited by
ordinance. Ii is time that public attention
should be directed to this matter, and we hope
hat the incoming council may take it under
early Amusement Had Messrs Lyman q
Shomo's stable, or Mr. Mason's Tin shop ignit
ed, nothing short Of almost super human exer-
ton could have saved the city from almost total

SEIZURE OF SAN JUAN.

A telegraph despatch Of recent date an
nounces the seizure Of Ssan-Juan del Norte, by
the IT, s. Frigate Cyane. The particulars OF
this summary action, by the commander OF an
American war vessel, are not given; but 1t is
to be inferred, that the trouble has grown out
of misunderstanding between the authorities
of San Juan and the Agents of the Nicaragua
Transit Company, which is composed OF citizens
Of the United States.
It will be borne in mind, that it was before
this place, that one of the Company steamers
was, some months since, fired into by an Eng
lish Friga,e and forced to pay certain Whari
charges which were regarded as exhorbltan'.
Since that time, bad state of feeling has ex
sted between the Company and the authorities,
and this is probably the cause OF the present
difficulty.

GARDENING.

The spring is upon US and the wind instinc-
lively recurs, to the budding and bursting forth
of fresh life, from the dead leaves stalks and
grass, which old winter invariably brings with
it. 80
Blackwood for February speaks eloquenty
and well upon the pleasures and moral in
huences Of gardening. We extract few SEN
lances,
"Ihe Poets, blessings on theu, have done
more to awaken a love Of nature and OF. flowers,
and to cherish taste for Horticulture. than ali
the professional hcriiculturists. We like to see
taste for simple modest Hawers We have

and soping banks covered with it. How the
pets do sport with one another! and what pretty
freaks they play-of which they seem half con-
scious-in tinidly turning aside from your
ardent gaze their bright emblems Of primrose,
pink and purple We are c ,ntinually told by
certain sapent economists that they do NO, care
Tor garden and do not possess one, because
they find it cheaper to buy their fruits and veg
etables. Who doubt it! The pleasures Of gar
dening depend not upon economic considera-
tions lhe fascination is in the very arts Of
cultivaton-in the very growing of your own
fruIt and flowers. Is there no pleasures in tend
ng flowers, and watching their opening bios
fsoms-ln nursing the sickly and rejoicing over
the strong-in culling well chosen bonquet for
the edornment of your cara sposa! Is there
no pleasure in being able TO send well ripened
grapes or peaches to sick neighbor who has

ed apples On rosy checked boy--in inviting
the children of the village to partake Of your
gooseberries-in sending, at the close Of a severe

exchanging rare fowers-in getting and giving
tioral gifts? Does your heart not leap up when
the first snowdrop-bold -chider OF lingering
winter, and adventurous invader of his icy
reign-shows its welcdthe face oh the green -
Is there no transport when the seeding holyhock
burst on your astonished vision in une xpected
beauty? Thousands there are who are doomed by
di:e necessity never to have a garden Of their
own; but those who can and ought, and vet
have not, for the sake of cheapness and ffom
motives OF mean economy, ought to be banish-
ed to some desert wilderness, where the green
earth and natures flowers may not waste theif

PORK AND FLOUR.

We clip the following from the New York
Commercial Correspondence Of the Washing-
ton Union:
In some articles, indeed, in which excessive
speculation was INDUCED last fall, the decline in
prices has been large. Take pork, for instance,
which was sold on contract in November to de.
liver IN April and May at the then prices. We
compare prices now and then:
December o. March 26. Decline.

This is decline which shakes MANY dealers

''shpped up" but what prudent man would in
country like this, which is capable of any sup.
ply, buy produce on time at such exorbitant
rates Flour has also softened in the same time.

THE SHIFTS OF THE HERALD.

The Herald of yesterday attempts to hold
us to the scriptnral rule of ''retarn,ng good for
erd, in our'ooursc az parry :urnalist. We
cannotdeny that this is wholesome rule and
one which WOULD be highly Beneficial to man
kind ii they would observe i, but it comes with
exceedingly bad grace from that Suspicious
qnarer. Unlike the man of the Herald, We
claim no special exemption from the common
errors {ar they are styled sin-) Of the day,
through The medium of Divine grace but We
believe we observe the rule quoted, carefully
as he does and perhaps little more so.
Oar article OF The lst ms. upon the duty oil

ed as an evidence of our boiling propensity
taking the scriptural rule above referred to, as
test Of democracy. We deny tie justice and
prnprieiy Of applying this rule in the case.

Oar language was, that where men upon tho
