About o'clock this (Thursday) morning,
our citizens were aroused from their Thanks
giving reveries by the startling cry OF. fire,
II was ascertaincd that the large frame shop
on Sandusky ST., occupied by G. |. YEAR
lex, Cabinet maker, and Mcssrs. SLACK 81
BoYEBRIGH-, House Carpenters, was on
fire. Our citizens rushed en- maSSe to the
rescue, but before the Engine could be got
out and named, the whole Of the upper part
of the building was in flames. And just at
this crisis it was asccrtaincd thatl the valves
Of the Engine were frozen up-(a piece OF
criminal neglect on the part of somebody
and some minutes elapsed before they could
! be made to work. BY means Of the Engine
and the almost superhumnn excrtions of our
citizens, the fire was confined to the large
shop and small shop adjoining. Messrs
SLACK & BoNEBRIGHT succeeded in saving
the greater portion of their tools and lumber
hut Mr.. YEARIcE loses everything. The
buildings consumed were owned by Mrs
BuLKLEY, and as there was no insurance
are /. total loss. The loss of Messrs. SLAcE
, g. BoNLBIIGHr is about $3.50; Mr.. YEAR
1cK's will not be less than $3.50 or 5000
All three of these gentlemen are men o
limited means, and their loss will fall heav
lily upon them. Mr.. YEARICK, particularly
cannot 90 OH with his business without as
sistance, and our citizens should aid him b.
liberal contributions. Mrs. DuLKLEY's loss
although heavy will not be so severely fell
as she is said 10 be in comfortable circum
; stances.
Nothing but the Engine and the cxtraor
dincry eXertons of some OF cur citizens
prevented the fire from spreading. MI

The Truth ;st Last.

1.-The New York Herald, one of the most
b bitter denouncers Of the Kansas,N ka
bill before the election, in u recent number,
says:
= ,y"The Kangas-Nebraska bill, If honestly
applied, will, we are assured, result in the
admission of Kansas as free State"
er, We told our reader tina, the hypocrisy OF
the Black Republican in dencuucing the
law organizing the territories Of Kansas and
Nebraska, would become apparent as soon
as the election was over, and they had nc
motive to mislead the people any Longer
about the purposes Of the Democratic par
ty. How soon our words have been veri
fed!

Emigration to Kansas.

has just re appeared, after a suppression Of
six moths, states that emigracts are arriV-
ing daily in Kpnsas, and in large numbers,
by way OF the Missouri river, which is now
once more opened to travellers. The Her
aid has heard OF no late violence along The
river, and believes that none exists, and that
persons will be perfectly secure in travelling
in small numbers to Kansas. if they keep
silent on the exciting issues of the day

Sccisss His Own Funeral.

A strange case of mistaken identity oc',
cured in New York, on Friday last. A man
was killed and horribly disfgdred, on the
Hudson River Railroad, who was recognized
by Mrs. Cotharine Burke as her husband,
Patrick Burke. The baked meats had al
ready been prepared, and the coffin was on
the hearse ready for removal, when Patrick
stepped up TO Mrs. 3. and tapping her on
the shoulder, anxiously inquired, "Whose
funeral is this, my dear," The only reply
the good woman could make was to faint
and all the attending mourners fed at the
sight Of the apparition. After little time
they recovered sufficiently to discover tha
Kathleen had male slight mistake in tax
| ing the dead man to be her own dear Pat
and it is said no one was more gratiied t
find out the mistake than herself.

r,,e Ncw England states.

The New England States are represent
cd as voting for the first time as unit at
the recent election. The contrary is the
fact. Every New England State went
against Dir. Jefferson in the contest OF 1871;
and in that conIest, says the New York
Express, the orthodox clergy Gas they styl'
ed themselves) were as active Us in the
late campaign. Mr.. Jefferson was opposed
from the pulpit Sunday after Sunday during
the whole canvass; was called an inhdel, an
atheist, Jacobin, dealer in human hefh'
and charged with being father of his slaves
The business, however, was overdone then
as it will be now. A reaction commenced
and at the election in 1906 every New Eng.
land State, except Connecticut, went ior
Jefferson.

The DutcI, and the Irish.


sd We see by our Republican exchanges that
1,heforeigners are undergoing their usua! an
nual damnng at the hands OF the uscd-up op-
position. They receive dnmning after every
election, double damning after Congress
sional election, triple damning after Gu
bcrnatoriaI contest, and quadrupIe damning
every time Democratic President is elected!
They have become SO used to it, however,
that we presume they care very little about it;
but we should suppose that common pru-
dence, if not past experience, would dictate
to the opposition different course, for in
less than year they will again be on their
knees begging for foreign votes. 1t must
bevery gratifying for those foreigners who
voted for Fremont, to see themselves stig'
matizcd in the Republican organs as ''pau-
pers," "vagabondS," "ignoramuses," &C.,
merely because majority Of their country
men exercised the right OF suffrage without
-taking the advice of the Know-Nothing ard
Abolition leaders.

Strange StEperstition-EsuricsE, bat
Still Alive.

We discovered two coored women yes
terday, near the Grand Jury room, in the
Court House, of whom we inquired their
business; the following novel story was eli
cited: That they came there for the pur.
pose Of presenting TO the Grand Jury, Har-
riet Holiday and Mary Jane Brooks, on the
charge (louse their own langnagp) Of laying
spell uponythcm, saying that these parties
had buried them in a miniature in the Cath
olic burying- ground, since, which time they
have suffered al the pangs Of death, and did
now really feel as if dead. Since the burial,
the witches came to them and offered to re.
lieve them Of their suferDgs, provided they
would give them dollar each. According.
ly, one paid the required ransom, the corpse
was dsin+erred, und the sufferer restored tc
life. The remaining two, not being SO
credulons refused to pay for their lives, anc
are now suffering ell the penalties of the
departed.

The Albany Argus in referring to the
commencement Of new campaign BY the
Black Republicans, compliments that party
for its liberal support of its party press, and
attributes to this its great success in the
New England and some OF the Northern
States. This is as true as holy writ. Ii
the Democratic party is ever broken, it will
be through its neglect Of the claims Of its
press. 4 L kNLf tH i A
Every word of the following deserves to
be carefully pondered and remembered by
each and every member of the party; 4,
"But it is not to be denied that the Re-

CATION Of their party. The anclents had a
maxim that it was proper to learn even
from an enemy; and Democrats may profit
ably ndd to their stock of wisdom in one re-
spect, by looking at the course OF their op'
ponents. A leading reason of the succcss
of the Republicans in the Northern States
was their eurly and liberal circulation Of ne'cS'
papers and documents. In this respect they
began the campaign ahead of US. They
first gained possession OF the heid' ana were
thus able to hold it during the contest
"The best way for Democrats to recover
the States which they have lost at the
North, is TO increase the circulation of Dem

1--WE have n word to say to Democratic

The ST. Louis Dsmoeraf of Thursday,
chronicles another disastrou, cOnAsgrstOi
in that city. The particulars are asIOl. .
lows
The alarm offire was first sounded by the
boats at the landing, little after ten o'clock
last night, and soon thousands OF citizens
were hurrying to the City Buildings, being
directed there by the light of the fast. spread
ing flames. The City Block occupied the
space between Market and Walnutstreet,
the levees and alley behind, aud consisted Of.
we believe, thirteen distinct stores, five stO-
Ties high. ..r fs.. -.,,.,.......- 3, .
The block was occupied by probably forty
different firms, the names OF oil OF which
we have not learned. We are unable, at
this late hour, to give an extended account
of the fire, and will, therefore, only state
that in very short time the entire olock
was a mass Of burning and smouidering ru'
ins, the walls having fallen down in differ
ent sections. ..E H#a.t .- -E
The firms, as we wrote them down from
the sign boards on front of the buildings,
during the progress of the fire, are these:
Anderson g. Laniaroux, Belts a. Mellen
Naples, Packet g. Co.. S. Sandcrson, Scott
g. Whifelaw, w. o. Wheeler, s. j Weth'
