There was an alarm of fire yesterday F. NJ
adjoining Mr.. Mccasli's Livery Stable, the upper
portion of which was well afrc. 1t seemed very
probabic that the fire would communicated to the
two livery stables and most of the other build
ing's on the block, all beingof wood, and stand
ing SO close together, as to render it impossible
to save them, should the FIRE get well to going.
The consequence was that there was general
stampede of horses and carriages and household
goods, several families finding themselves in the
street in little less than no time But a few
gentlemen were engaged with buckets and sub
dued the flames. Little damage was done.

- REPEAL OF THE PRouIRIroRY LAw.--Wef have
almost came to the conclusion to advocate the
repeal of the ,Prohibtory Liquor Law, not, from
desire Of being elevated to Office, as our friends
and enemies know that such ambitious aspira-
lions have long since been displaced by the
wish to see our town the foremost in the State,
nor would we advocate IFS repeal for the purpose
OF regaining the influence ofweathercock friends
of easy principles, nor yet that we have, any
longing to indulge in the interdicted article, but
because we find in the absence of every provo.
cation to crime in the shape of gr0g shops, it il
a difficult matter to obtain suiiiciency Of local
items. In those localities where liquor laws are
in full blast and the privilege to foster the appe
tite is encouraged and the temptation is held
out on every side, we observe that our cotem-
poraries have every advantage over us and their
sheets abound with the most interesting deserip-
tons of fights, rapes, murders, and all the rich
category OF crime, the daily recital of which gives
such spicincss to q newspaper and tends so
much to the moral improvement of the family
circle. s's''is@"1i ~ ~
Oh, but it would be rich to see the staid old
Gazette go in for liquor law! To hear the man
OF easy principles say to his son as he patted
him on the head. Now there is a man after
my. own heart; soon, my son. we shall have 'sa-
looms in abundance then you can go II with
looseness!' r.z.t @ b = l3,ur8
ana why not Have not these men turned
from us reviled and abused us because we sup
ported a Prohbtory Law. Would It not be
perfectly consistent for them to turn back aguin.
take our hand and call US friend, if We adv coated
The cursed traffic. Are they 80 selfish as not to
regard the weliere Of their own children; and If
they deemed the ubolit on Of saloons detrimental
20 their children, should they not rejoice afor
th cir sakes to see them restored? a Is there any
thing inconsistent in all this!
The inconsistency would be in not rccogniz-

A Story FOR CoSGREss-Thc wolves and the

npon n certain old quarrel that was between
them, and the wolves that they might knowth
strength OF the dogs before hand, sent forth q
scout. The scout returned, and informed the
wolves that the dogs were more numerous than
they. Nevertheless, he told them moi 10 be dis
couraged, for the dogs were not only dividedinto
three or four bodies, which bad little disposition
to help one another, but also they were, very
quarreisome among themselves. One partS was
for having the army formed one way, anothcr
party another Some were not satisfied in their
commanders, and commanders themselves had
their emnlations; nor did there want among them
that accounted il more necessary to lie down
where they were, and hunt and kill fcas than
march forth and subduc wolves abroad. In
short there was nothing among them but snapp-
ing and snarlng at each other. And, therefore,
said he, "Messieurs, let's have at them; weshall
easily play thewoh upon them that play the dog
