DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-On Tuesday night
Sd inst, about half past twelve O'Clock, on
citizens were aroused by the cry Of Ere, an,
the bright light in the vicinity of the uppei
part of Market street indicated that thi.
time the ala,m was no false one. Upon re
pairing to the spot we found the f%urniturr
ware room of Alexander Donaldson, togeth
er with the adjoining store room and dwell.
AhS VI W.T. """es DtaCAouin, completely
enyeloped in flames. The fire soon spread
to the adjoining buildings of Mr.. Nash on
The est and of Mr.. Fisher on the east, and
backwards to the large lot of fine lumber
belonging TO Mr.. Donaldson, and also to his
workshop, the building used by Mr.. Black,
burn wherein 10 make candy, and to the
dwelling of Mr.. Nash facing 9th st. Before
the flames could be suppressed the whole
brick block of buildings extending from the
alley at Kilgore Hall to 9th street and back
ward to the alley, with the exception of a
small building on the corner of 9th and the
alley used as a store room for sugar, was
consumed.
The fire originated in the furniture room
of Mr.. Donaldson, and is strongly suspec.
ted TO be the work of an incendiary, as the
house had been carefully closed in the eve
ming, and no fire had been used about the
premises for three months. The watchmen
also report, that when they discovered the
fire, two men were seen to run from the
premises; but having too much start to give
hopes of capture, the watohmen did not pur.
sue them; but busted themselves in giving
the alarm and attempting to stop the pro
gress of the fire.
The loss of Mr., Nash is reported at about
$4,000, some $4,000 Of which is covered by
insurance. That of Mr.. Blackburn is the
heaviest, but we have not leaned the flo.
ures. He lost every thing-Ee and his
family escaping with difficulty from the
flames with only such clothing as they had
on at the time. Mr.. Donaldson's loss is al
SO heavy; having only just received a
supply of new and costly furniture. Mr..
Fishers house was unoccupied and was in
sured at $4,000, which will probably cover
his loss. The total loss is abount 500, 900.
We learn that Messrs. Nash, Blackburn and
and Donaldson will Immediately set about
rebuilding.-Steu. Union.
Rg-We direct the attention of our rea-
ders TO the following article from the New
Lisbon Aurora, an able Free Soil paper,
one that thinks more Of its principles than it
does of fusion
"The platform as said to be adopted BY
the Know Nothings OF Ohio in state %ctonven,
ton recently, in Cleveland, appears in an
other column. Ii is reported that they have
removed the veil of secrecy from their do
ings. and now pretend to act openly, 1t
may be SO, or may not; but nomatter wheth
it has done SO or not, the party is too
Indifferent and proscriptiye for men Of pro
gressive and liberal sentiments. If we can
rightfully form a political party to put down
Catholics, there is no reason why the same
may not be done in regard to Presbyterians,
Methodisto, B,ptists, or any o her sect.
But the wing ko papers are loudly boast
ing of its Antislayery character, and all we
have now to do is to fall in and march after
them to political victory. Slavery is local-
not national, say they. Is that a true An,
