Hi re.

On Friday last, the residence Of our
friend WILLIAM J. SINGLETON, Esq, was
entirely consumed by fire. The fire was
first discovered in the roof of the house
where It is supposed to have been com
muncated by spark from one Of The
chimneys, in which fire was beng used
for ironing purposes. The building was
30 dry and the progress of the flames SO
rapid that but little Of the furniture was
rescued and it was with much difficulty
that the ou:Lullings were saved.

sixty thousand dollars, which is the
largest ever sustained by fire in Texas.
SO late spring as the present has
not been known in Texas for thirty
years past. Both corn and cotton
have had to be rc'plantcd, on account
OF the bad stand of the first planting.
IN many instances planters have plouh.
eu up their ground entirely, and re.
planted their entire crop. But the
drouth continues. and there is now
scarcely moisture enough to sprout the
seed. The prospect is indeed disc ur.
aging. Never befure have the rivers

now, at this season of the year. So
