FIRE.-The usual quiet of our town was
disturbed on lest Sunday, about noon, by
the startling cry of fire. The barn of Judge
RUeGLEs, situated short distance South
of town, was discovered to be on FIRE, and
in few moments was wrapt in sheet oi
flame. Our citizens, with their usual prompt
itude, were on hand, and endeayoring to the
utmost to save the adjoinging buildings, but
the flames spread so rapidly that it was
found impossible to save the stable, which
was in close proximity to the barn, and it
was also destroyed, together with wagons,
gears, plows, barrows, and other farming
implements. There were two horses in the
stable, which were removed with consider
able difficulty. The loss is pretty heavy
The fire is supposed to be the work of an
incendiary.

FL RE.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. l3.-Yesterday after
noon at O'Clock fire broke out in the ex-
tensive buildings of Phelps, Carr & Co.,
coach and wagon manufacturers, Manches-
ter, two miles below this city. ..
No fire companies in the town, and but
few, facilities for checking the fames. The
fire spread rapi 'ly, involving the destruction
of the whole block, including above Hall
and Speers large plough factory, and sever
al dwellings and buildings occupied by
Phelps, Carr g. Co., owned by Cyrus Town
send, valued at $40, 900, were entirely des-
troyed. No insurance.
Phelps, Carr & Co.'S machinery and
stock, valued at $4,000, insured in two
Philadelphia offices for $4,000.
A large amount OF Hall & Speers' finished
work was saved, but the destruction of the
machinery, patterns and tim5ers involved
considerable loss. Stock and buildings in
sured for $4,000 in the Lycoming office.
The total loss will probably reach $75 900.
About one hundred and fifty hands are
thrown out of employment. The fire was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, sew.
eral attempts were before made to fire the
building. '

Iowa AND MlssoURr.--The St. Louis
Democrat complains very justly that the
misconduct of the Atchison party in Mis-
souri, has diverted from that State almost
entirely the vast tide of emigration. The
Democrat says that while Missouri offers
the most practicable and natural route be-
tween the East and West, and has a soil
as fertile as that of Iowa or Illinois, with
every advantage of climate, mineral wealth,
position, etc., emigration leaves it untoucE.
ed, and is diverted TO neigbboring regions,

everywhere avoiding it. 1t institutes COM

Republicans Mobbed in Baltimore

BY the Baltimore papers we get the facts
as to the breaking up of the Republican
meeting in Baltimore. 1t was the joint
work of the Buchanan and Fillmore men,
and the honors should be equally divit ed
The reading ofresolutions was drowned by
cheers for Buchanan and Fillmore, and the
voices of the Republican orators were
silenced BY the noise of these enemies Of
free speech. Finally there was a yell to
"turn off the lights" star and feather them,"
&C., &c. The officers of the meeting were
hustled out of the room, and upon reaching
the streets cry was raised for rails upon
which to ride them. Mr.. Corkran was
knocked down, and his coat cut from his
back, and then cut into pieces and distri-
buted to.the crowd. Mr.. Corkran, who is a
Quaker, had his Quaker hat also knocked
off and trampled in the street, and was final y
received into house and eluded his pur-
suers. The Buchanan and Fillmore men
then attacked the office Of the German Fre-
mont paper, and were prevented from de-
stroying it by the interference of the police

The REPUBLICAN MEETIKG.-On Thurs,
day evening, October cd, the Court House
was crowded to Republican speeches from
DR.. J. T. UPDEGRAFF, OF Mt. Pleasant,
and MILLER PENNINGTON, Esq. The speech
of DIR. u. was one of the most telling
speeches we have heard during the canvass.
Every shot was seventy-four FOUNDER, and
scattered the opposition ranks like bomb.
The Doctor showed BY Democratic author
ity alone, for he quoted more other, that
the present position of the Democracy was
regarded as undemocratic, two years ago,
by the same organs and speakers that now
sustain it. He proved from the same source,
that the Nebraska Bill did not embody the
doctrine of "squatter sovereignty" but ut
terly repudiated that doctrine. That at the
time tie Nebraska Bill was sprung the
whole North was opposed to it, without res.
pect to party. That the Democracy are
The nigger-worshippers, inasmuch as they
consider the person, the services of negro

But we cannot follow the speaker in hi:
course of argument, suffice it to say tha
every sentence was hot shot, well aimed
into the Democratic ranks. We hope ths
Doctor will make himself heard often during
this canvass. His eloquent voice will worl
wonders in awakening the People to tn,

Mr.. EDITOR: Haring been Unexpectedly

prsing town, cannot leave without Drop
ping this testimonial of the high opinion
enter ain for your citizens. St. Clarsvilie,
to my eye, is beautiful place-easy of ac-
cess, and surrounded with On exuberent
country. Her citizens are characteristic
for shrewdness and sagacity, industry and
politeness. Court is in session with all at
tendance Of 4 large number of "the legal
profession" and it is questionable whether
there is stronger Bar in the State than
that of st. Clairsville. Many interesting
and exciting cases have been disposed Of,
and there is a probability that the Court
will not adjourn until Saturday, the l7lh.-
Then, there are her Schools, (all of which
it was my pleasure to visit0 which seem to
be wisely progressing under the superin-
tendance o. Mr.. Robt. E Chambers and his
Assistants. OF the Schools, it may be re-
marked, accounts for the intelligence and
morality of the children, and, indeed, of the
community, for, in proportion to the enco1r-
agement that this institution receives from
the citizens. the scale of morality and in
telligence will rise or fall. See to it then,
friends, that you encourage yOur children
and teachers by frequent visits to the school
rooms. They will all be glad to see you,
and have you hear their recitations.
would not forget the pleasant acquain-
tances formed, and take this means OF
speaking of the attentive and gentlemanly
Lewises, of the National House. These

it were policy to do SO, but with that whole
soul heart that is due to our fellow. All in
all, leave St. Clairsville in the light OF

Connecticut Election.

The New Haven Palladium Of yesterday
states THAT the whole number of towns
heard from is 1876. OF these the friends of
Fremont have rs, the Buchana mites &c, and
there are four divided. In this list all such
towns as Waterbury, which were carried by
Buchanantes. The Buchanan papers are
publishing partial lists, embracing only ll3
towns, and leaving out several Fremont
towns, by which dodge they figure out a net
gain. But the trick will soon be exposed
The Palladium SAYS:
"The Fremonters have majority of 80
towns in all that have thus far voted. Blu
