SAINT PAUL:
IRE m endous and Fearful COhflasratiOn!
The business Portion of our City to-
tally destroyed by Fire-Che whole
Row Of New Stores upon the District
Burnt over year and eleven days
ago, IL now in..sSmOuidering Ruins.
"WEDNESDAY MORNING, 5 O'Clock A. NJ, |
NnvauJ.r 1871


Two hours ago the alarm of fire was given
we FASTENED to the spot, and found the fire far
progressing and too far to be eXtinguished,
which originated, as near as could be ascertain
cd, over Martins saloon. Near a thousand
men Was soon upon the ground and very many
Ia ,ored with praiscworthy eXertion to save the
merchandise. The store Of Mcssrs. Stutsman
" Co., were so far enycloped in flames, that
but a small portion of its contents were saved
except his books money, and valuable papers.
Messrs Toote & jackson and Pagram d Go.
were more fortunate, and saved the greatest
portion of their goods. Five new business
houses were destroyed. Upon q hasty calcu-
laton we should judge the loss would be in the
region of $4,000. Stutsmcn was the most
unfortunate but takes it like philosopher
The whole spot is still in "a blaze, and goods
and valuables are promiscuously strcwcd over
the streets, alleys and vacant places, and arc
even piled Into the crccck.
Gloom again so soon o'erspreads our late
busy and pleasant city. The scarcity of build
ing materials, and the lateness of the season
will make it doubiy difficult to replace these
buildings for the present, but the energy of
our business men is proyerbial, and no cxcrtion
will be spared to put the wheel OF business
again in active motion.
We have the qualification to know that most
of the groceries and provisions were saved, so
that there will at least be Il plenty to eat.
The weather is clear aud beautiful-nights
frosty and days comfortable and pleasant which
will be favorable to the unfortunate. Not Il
family is left houscless by this fire, and those
who have been the losers arc men able to re-
build in more safe and permanent manner,
and VIC do hoEc that this second hint will be
acted upon and nothing but good, solid fire
proof buildings erected. We shall be able to
give the full particulars in our next. Will
those who are indebted to the unfortunate par
ties come forward at once like honorable men
and good ncighbors, and without asking, pay
up and assist them to replace the stocks Of
goods without loss of time.
The fire may have been the work Of an in
ccnliary.-Cc INCL Biufs Bugle.

TO THE PHYSICIANS OF THE IVES,

Beverage,
Physicians who prescribe Alcoholic Liquors for med
icnal purposes should give the preference to WOLFE's

l. 1t is manufactured at Schiedam, in Holland and
exclusively in the factory Of the proprietor by pro-
cesses and from material elsewhere unemployed and
unknown.
2 1t is proved, by the repeated analysis Of several
eminent chemists, to be entirely free from the perni-
cous fsl oil which remains in every kind of liquor dis
TILED from grain and which is the of the
and vsoera arrangement, serious congestion and
bid desire for habitua and Incorporate indulgence,
which such liquors invariably tend to superinduce.
g. 1t is proved by the same unerring tests that the
Juniper Gin is not favored with the coarse acrid and
ndgesti lie oil of Juniper heretofore used but with the
specifically lighter, volatile, aromatic and medic
na Of the essential oils of the Italian juniper ber-
ry, neglectedoy every other manufacturer.
1t is chemically "roved to be absolutely pure in its
rccfcaton-a quality obtained by entirely new pro-
cess, and which other Holland Gin the world has
acquired.

Value of Salvation.

In Mexico, the palaces Of The victorious
spaniards were beginning to replace the
ancient habitatons of the AIexieans, and
the magnificent cathedral was in process
of erection. The streets were filled with
Indians, some laboring to fllup the canals
others dragging along beams or enormous
stones, many of them constantly sinking
and dying under fatigues Fortunately,
however, the Franciscan monks were run
ming about to provide for the safety of
their souls and whenever they saw one
Of the unfortunate natives at the point of
death, did not fail to..sprinkle his forehead
with the holy water Of baptism.
How different plously observes Don
Juan, tswas their fate from that of the In
dams who had persisted in defence Of their
false religion. and whom demons had
dragged into the flames Of hell What a
consolation for the proprietors of these
magnificent palaces, and the founders OF
these churches and holy monasteries, to
have been the cause of the salvation of SO
many seals. s-Adrentares OF De Fareas
