complaint of theft against him, in order to
keep him at home.

A Protestant CoUNTRY.-The census in
Scotland has lately been taken, from which it
appears that in that country is the most tho
roughly compact body of Presbyterianism in
the world. The approximation to religious
unanimity is greater in Scotland than in any
other country in the world. On the morning
of the census, Sunday, there were in all 943,-
95l persons at Church. OF these, $40 900
were Presbyterians, and 100, 900 belonged to
various other sects, amounting in all to about
thirty. Scarcely more than eighty thousand
Of the population dissent from the Presbyte-
rian polity.
The number of people in Scotland, is about
2,3O0,0O0; so that the proportion who attend
ed church on census Sunday, was about Al
per cent, or more than one third Of the entire
population. So large proportion of church.
goers can he found no where else, except in
New England The $4,000 nom presbyterian
portion of the population are Unitarans, Epis-
copalians, Jews, and numerous other sects.-
The Unitarians are very few III number, con-
sisting mainly otintellectual political progress
lists of the cities. The Episcopalians are more
numerous, and consist chiefly Of the descend
ants Of the old cavalier aristocracy and Eng
lish The Roman Catholics are exclusively
lrish and are only to be found in the cities,
chiefly in Glasgow. The parish school system
of Scotland is coeval with the Reformation,
and extends from Wigton to the Hebrides--
Macaulay says, "If you wish to see the differ
ence between the influence of Catholicism and
Professionalism upon nations, first look from
the Capitoline hill at Rome, and then from
Arthur's seat at Edinburgh Italy, blessed
by God with the finest climate, most salubri-
GUS airs, and richest soil in Europe, is a fruit
less waste, and a land Of idle, illiterate beg
gars. Scotland with almost the worst eli
mate, and most ruggid, rocky soil in the world,
is first in Europe for the excellence of its agri-
culture, and the morality. thrift, energy, and
intelligence of its people. The difference be-
tween the two countries is the difference be-
tween Popery and Professionalism.

GREAT CoNPLAGRAIoN AND PROBABLE Loss
OF LIFB.-A fire broke out about half past
eleven o'clock, last evening. in the lumber
yard of Horatio A. Kempton, on the south
side of Hillman, between Foster and Pleasant
Streets. The flames ragged with great fury,
with a strong breeze from the southwest
The effect of this was to carry the fire across
to the house at the southeast corner of Hill
man and Pleasant streets, owned by the heirs
of Robert Luscomb, and occupied by Gilbert
Rowland, and Andrew ]. Dam. The whole
furniture was saved. The house, next south,
also took fire and was consumed. TWAS own
ed by the heirs of Robert Luscomb, and &C.
cupied by Capt. Philip Shearman, and Andrew
Hays. The house adjoining this, upon the
south was consumed. 1t was owned by Eph-
rain Kempton, and occupied by Mrs. Edward
Rowland, and Thomas A Rowland. The fire
also spread to the opposite side of the street.
Here, the Carpenters Shop, owned by MIR. IL.
A. Kempton, and occupied by Mr.. John X.
Cushing, was col sumed.
The fire, also, about the same time, crossed
north to the corner of Hillman, and Pleasant
Streets, spreading west to Foster street, con-
Stunning all the buildings from street to street,
as follows: The first house on this square,
which took fire, was on the northwest corner
of Hillman and Pleasant streets, owned by the
heirs of Robert Hillman land occupied by them.
The house next west was owned by Capt.
Charles West, and occupied by the widow
Kempton; The next house was at the corner
of Hillman and Foster, and was owned and
occupid by Aaron Upjohn, all of which houses
were destroyed.
All the furniture in these houses was saved,
except in the house on Pleasant Street, oceu-
pied by Mrs Edward and Thomas A. Rowland.
In this house portion of the furniture was
saved, and all might have been saved if it had
been promptly removed.
Nearly all the lumber in the yard of H. A.
Kempton was destroyed The estimate value
of the lumber was about $l7 900, insured in
two Springfield offices for SIS, 500, and So, 500;
and in the Metropolitan office, in Boston, for
$4,000. The loss on the lumber was about
$4,000.
The value of the whole property destroyed,
including the buildings, lumber and furniture,
is estimated at, from $50, 900 to $4,000.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an
incendary.
Several dwelling houses, and other build
ings were saced By acet blankets.
Mr.. Jethro Hillman, worthy citizen, and
well known naval architect, during the fire,
experienced such fall as will probably prove
fatal. He was, at the time upon the roof of
one of his sheds, in his shipyard, extinguish-
ing the falling sparks. His skull was fractured,
and when we left him this morning, no hope
was entertain of his recovery.-Neao Bedford
Mercury.
P. S.-Mr. Hillman died on Thursday
night aged IS.

and the resemblance to that variety is very
great with this difference, however, that they
will average more than twice the size, and the
quantity is said to be in no way inferior to that
