Our attention was called yesterday to n
fire in the yard Of one OF the buildings be-
longing TO the Tonro estate on Canal street
near the corner Of Bourbon, which are to
be torn down to make room tor sever | new
and splendid stores.
In an old brick wall in the centre ct the
yard was pile of burning faggo's mixed
with old account books, in which the de-
tails %! Mr. Touro's business have been re-
corded for the last forty or fifty years. The
process of burning had already continued
two days, and there was still a cart load
left. Amongst them was /" Corrcspon-
dence with his friend Shepherd" which
hisfriends might desire to have preserve ed,
unless destroyed, like the rest, by his posi-
tive orders.
These numerous books, extending over
the transacticnx of so many years, were
suggestive OF the assiduous business habits
of the deceased philanthropist. 1t looked
somewhat Vandal-like to see the flames de-
sroying what cost to him and his clerks
such immense labor. They are, however,
but the scatfolding over which the fabric of
his princely fortune was reared, and that
fortune only part Of that with and which
a noble life was built. The books and 9th
instruments Of The fortune perish; he who
accumulated it is moulderirg in the tomb
the bcquests and charities he bestowed will
soon be lost in the common mass but the
example and magnanimity will remain in
the memory OF unborn gencrations.---N. o.
