Destructive fires at Manchester, NJ H. Two
destructive fires occurred OF Manchester n.
H.. Sunday morning. by which about balf Of
one OF the largest Mills on the Manchester
Corporation, and between thirty aud forty
buildings IN the business part of the city
were consumed, involving loss of property
which is stated to reach 100000 dollars.
The two fires were half a mile Distant from
each other, and one broke out while the other
was at its height -Four hundred persons, It
Is said. are thrown out Of employment by
these disasters.
Destructive Ere.-.The extensive saw
mills of Messrs. Fay g. Fassc,t, situated in
Glastonbury, this county, were destroyed by
fire on Sunday night of last week, together
with large quantity Of lumber fitted for tho
market. BY great exertions, the machinery,
we learn, was mostly saved. This is the
largest establishment Of the kind known in
this part of the country, and its destruction
will be deeply felt by the entcrprising pro-
! priotors, and the community where its was
! located. The loss, we understand, was in
I the vicinity Of twelve thousand dollars. No
/ insurance, we believe. 1t was supposed to
have been fred by some "human devil"
who, for this transaction, deserves to be nov
gibbetted, and made to smell birthstone here
after. good reward should at once be Of
fered for his apPrehension.-.B bennington

mates that the increase OF the crop Of wheat
this year will be twenty-five millions of
bushels more than in 1850, and forty millions
more than last year. According to this CAL
culalion, the yield will be III 100000 bush
els in the grain growing States. In this
connection II must also be remembered that
the exhaustion of wheat last year was at
tributable in large degree to the failure OF
other crops as well as to that of this grain.
There was not full crop Of any cereal, and
in addition to this, there was not more than
one-iourh of crop Of vegetables. Con-
sequenlly, wheat was consumed TO a much
greater extent than It would otherwise have
been. Tais year, we have not only an av-
erage crop Of wheat, bat the crops OF other
grams, and all kinds of vegetables, promise
to be unusually large.
There must be an abundant supply of all
kinds OF provisions for home consumption,
and large surplus for export if requircd.-
