fruit throughout this county has every appearance
of being an abundant one. We have heard Of but

A friend who has lately passed through several
counties confirms our previous reports but he
says there IL sign which has heretof6re been
deemed unerring as TO the corn crop. The locust

GREAT FIR IN BALrIMoRE.-We learn from the
Baltimore American that at an early hour on Sat-
urday evening our city visited with one Of the
most destructive conHagrations that has occurred
for some years, and which, but for the indomita-
BILE perseverance Of the fremen, and the interpo-
sition of some freproof walls, not built with the
mortar and bricks Of the present day, would have
laid waste considerable portion Of one Of the
most active business sections Of the city.
At about halfpast seven O'Clock the smoke was
discovered issuing from the warehouse on Bslti-
more street, second door east Of Howard, occupied
by Messrs. Daley Massey, & Co., as wholesale clio
thing establishment The building seemed to be
on FIRE in all parts, from the cellar TO the roof and
on breaking open the doors, the escape Of gas was
so great that Il almost sunocated all who attempt
ed to enter. One Of the safes and portion Of the
goods on the lower floor were taken out, but the
freinen were soon compelled TO retreat by the APP
proach Of the flames, which spread through the
building, and burst forth with an intensity that
lighted up the streets for many squares
The FIRE spread 10 the adjoining buildings, OF
which several were destroyed.
As q rough estimate, We would presume the
amount Of loss TO be about as follows;
Value Of the buildings destroyed $4,000

On the 10th instant number Of Englishmen

rich merchant Of London, then at Lyons, who
has Just completed residence Of eleven months
In the prison Of Frankfort, Germany, In which he
had been placed under the following circum-
stances About twelve month ago Mr.. Fleming
chopped for two days one Of the principal hotels
ut Frsnkfort-on-the.M Maine, and on the third day,
whom about TO leave, called for his bill, which, TO
his astonishment amounted to 250f Indignant
st this exorbtAnt demand, he rendered one-half Of
Il, but the landlord persisted and threatened to
send bis customer 70 prison. the Law Of the place
allowed him 20 do. The Englshmsn, however,
was obstinate and suffered himself 10 be arrested
and locked up. Although the laws Of Frankfort
give this power 10 creditors, they at the same
time impose on them the necessity Of supporting
their debtors while In prison. and Of furnishing them
with clothes and other articles suitable 10 their po-
sition In life. This the hotel keeper was compel
cd 70 do In Mr.. Jennings case, and 30 little care
did the Englishman take Of the articles supplied

endurance over German ertortion and spite, imme-
distely on HE release gave sum 70 the poor OF
Frankfort, amounting 70 double that expended by
the hotel-keeper.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN KANsAs--Lynch Ldw.--
The Rochester Democrat has the following account
Of another outrage in Kansas:
On the 18th instant, Mr.. Phillips, lawyer, was
decoyed to the banks of the Missouri river, where
he was suddenly seized and forced into skif, and
carried across the river into Missouri-thencc he
was taken seven miles to Weston.
An old warehouse stands just below the town
he was taken there, his head was shaved, his face
blackened, he was tarred and feathered, and then
ridden upon rail through the streets Of Weston,
while music horrible and hideous accompanied the
procession.
Before the hotel they exhibited him; and then
a negro was compelled to sell him to the lowest
bidder, and they offered to him every insult in
their power.
After OBTAINING him several hours in this man
ner, repeatedly telling him that If he would not
leave the Territory, or give them his promise in
writing that he would leave, they would hang him,
he having steadily and firmly refused, they let him
loose. His brother, who had come from Leaven-
worth after him, took him into carriage, and late
in the afternoon started for Leavenworth.
It seems that the offence of Mr.. Phillips is that
he is frce-soiler. And it Is pretended by the
pro-slavery men that he handed McCrea the revolt
yer with which Malcolm Clark was killed. This is
probably false, as responsible men declare that
PHILIPPE did not at all interfere in the matter.
