Prairie Fires.

On Thursday evening last, one Of the most
terrific fres that VIC ever witnessed, ragged on the
prairies south of u.s. The wind was blowing
perfect gale, and famed the flames until the fire
rushed with the velocity of y race horse over
miles in extent, devouring everything In its path.
We learn that much damage was done, fences
destroyed, hay and grain stacks burned and that
Ar. Wolf of Waterloo township lost his entire
crop, all his stables, wagons, horse, &c. The
light from the fire was SO great as to enable us
to read without difficulty, common print, in our
streets. Many Of our citizens went out to the
fire, and represent the scene as one Of the grand
est that can be conceived, beyond description

How PENNSYLVANIA FILLMoURNERs WERE
Subtitle Washington correspondent of the
n. Y. Times says:
Pennsylvanians arrived here since the election
declare that that State would have gone for
Fremont, had not the Fillmore men relied with
nnwavering faith upon carrying Tennessee and
Kentucky, aud so carrying the election to the
House. Fearing that Fremont would carry In
diana or Illinois, and would thus be elected by
the people, if he carried Pennsylvania also,
thousands Of the Fillmore men-aH of them
who were under good discipline-went over to
Buchanan, supposing that in so doing they would
surely have chance in the House, and that in
no other way could they attain that end. They
say, also, that in all the interior and western
counties, Buchanan was boldly presented as the
opponent OF slavery extension, and as the friend
of free Kansas; and already Southern men are
preparing to make war upon the President elect
as untrustworthy of the interests of slavery
In the leading-strings Of Slidell, Mason, Forney
l. Co., it will, probably, be long ere Mr. Buchan-
an will dispel such idle fears. But we shall see

KISSING A QUEEN.-It was the custom at the
Court Of France, when Franklin was American
Ambassador there, to kiss the Queen, which
was considered in the light that an American
would view the shaking of hands.
II is said that he was reminded by one of the
dignitaries of the court, that when he was pre-
scented he must kiss the Queen, who it was said
also was very kissabe woman The Queen
approached famiary and very near-probably
impelled by curiosity to see we'll this handsome
savage, Franklin remembering his lesson,
without reluctance put it into practice, in the
only way he had ever been taught to kiss, and
gave the Queen mighty Yankee buss on the
lips, to the amazement and Modification of-the
old maids, but to the great amusement of all
others-especally the king, who was delighted
with this savage simplicity and it is said he
cried out-"E'core Bis, Da Cappo" or "Do
it again"
How many more things were said or done, it
is not my business now to relate or vouch for
Therefore only object to the print for not be
ing truly historical and especially for not having
chosen one of the most remarkable of Frank
Inns court feats. Some of the wags of Paris
had not the most implicit faith in Franklin's sim
plicity, and said that he knew more than he
pretended to know.-[Cor. Boston Transcript.

RUDENEss IN TRAVELLING" All travellers are
selfish remarked gentleman, when he saw
the rush made for a railroad car, "and all
crowds " he sententiously added, "are rude
We thought that, true as the remark was, there
was no good reason why it.shoud be SO. Gem
orally, there is sufficient accommodation provided
for Travellers in either cars or steamboats,, one
may see after the rush is over, and every one
has taken his seat. 1t is, therefore, to no pur-
pose that the passengers have jostled each 9th
er, and have done thousand rude things merely
to secure seats which were never in danger of
being lost Practically, also, those who are
least able to bear the privation, il the Seats as
will occasionally happen, are deficient, are the
very ones who are made to suffer. 1t is not the
able-bodied man, who pushes his way, like a
prize fighter, past everybody, who has to take
the sunny side, but the weak mother, with an in.
FAINT in her arms, or two or three frightened
little ones, clingng to her sides. In every point
of view, therefore, the rudeness which is exhib
tied on steamboats, and railroad cars, is indie
fensible. A little more mutual consideration
would greatly soften the asperities of travelling,
and prevent the display Of the disgraceful scenes
SO often witnessed. II every person would be
gin for himself, the reformation would be Al
once achieved.

Review of the Burlington Market fol
the yyeek ending Nov. 18th.
There has been no marked change OF quota
tons since our last review. Transactions in
country produce, except for home use, have
been light. Very few shipments have been
made in the last week, owing mainly to the low
stage OF water and the high price Of Freghts.
Mr.. A. s. Fear, yesterday, shipped a quantity Of
Wheat to st. Louis at 10 cents per bushel, lit
tie lower figure than previous rates. Up
Freights from IS to 10 cents per 100 lbs.
There is considerable doing in hogs eastward
per Railroad. 80 cars on the Chicago and
Burlington Railroad, loaded with live hogs,
left yesterday morning, destination New York
City We learn that 5000 Hogs have been sent
in the same direction from this city during TIE
week. Beside this, our Packers are doing an-
active business, notwithstanding little depres-
sion in prices, being about 81 gross.
In Wheat Corn and Oats, but little doing,
aud prices range low. Potatoes are taken at so
to SIS cents for home consumption. Butter
keeps up, and little more Sc. Farmers will
not sell at less than 25 cts, and consumers have
to pay so to SS, at the shops.
From the best information we could get the
following is fair exhibit of the prices of such
produce as is in greatest demand:

a Very Polite Judpc.


4 Very Polite Judge.
Governor Ford, of Illinois, tells a very rich an
ecdote of one OF the early judges of that State,
but the Governor does not put upon record the
name of the sensitive and considerable magis-
trate. ~
AT the court over which this judge presided, a
man by the name OF Green was convicted Of
murder, and the judge was obliged to pass sem
tence of death on the culprt. Calling on the
prisoner to rise, the judge said to him
"Mr. Green, the jury say you are guilty of
MURDER and the law says you are to be hung. l
want you, and all your friends to know that it is
not who condemn you; it is the jury and the
law. Mr.. Green, at what time, sir, would you
like to be hung the law allows you time for
preparation"
The prisoner replied, 'may it please your hon
or, am ready at any time, those who kill the
body have no power to kill the soul. Ny prep.
aration is made, and you can fix the time to
suit yourself it is all the same to me, SIR"
-"Mr Green" replied the judge, sit is a very
serious matter to be hung !; it can't happen to a
man but once in his life, unless the rope breaks
before his neck is broke. and you had better
take all the time you can get. Mr. Clerk. since
it makes no difference to Mr.. Green when he is
hung, just look INTO the almanac, and see wheth-
err this day four weeks comes on Sunday"
ported that that day four weeks came on Thurs
day.
''1hen," said the Judge, "Mr. Green, if you
please, you will be hung this day four weeks at
twelve o'clock"
The attorney general, James Turney Esq, here
interposcd and said,
''May it please the court, on occasions of this
sort, it is usual for courts to pronounce q for
NAL sentence, to remind the prisoner of his per-
ious condition, to reprove him for his guilt, and
to warn him against the Judgment in the world
to COME
sob, Mr.. Turney," said the judge, "Mr. Green
understands the whole matter; he knows he has
got to be hung. You understand it, Mr.. Green
don't you?"
"Certaiuly," said the prisoner.
''Mr. Sheriff, adjourn the court"
Four weeks from that day Mr.. Green was
hung, but not so much to his own satisfaction as
his appearance promised on the day of his con-
viction.

FAST THEArRIcALs.-The Philadelphia Ledger

FAST THEArRIcALs.-The Philadelphia Ledger
Of this morning says:
g wager of $1,000, we learn, has been made
in New York, by Brougham that he and his
company will perform in both New York and
Philadelphia the same night, the distance being
nearly one hundred miles apart.
The arrangement is to perform on Thursday
evening next petite comedy in New York, fin
ishing by eight o'clock, then to take special ex-
press train and run to Philadelphia by ten, and
perform at the Circus the extravaganza of Poca-
hontas. The arrangement will require the loco
motive to travel about fifty miles an hour; to
prevent any accident, it is designed to have a
man with fambeau stationed at every mile
along the route, and bGnfres every three miles.
The performance is to conclude with a banquet
at the Girard House to the New York guests
This is certainly one of the most extraordinary
wagers ever made. and will require very nice
calculation and exact time to enable the task to
be accomplished successfully"
