FILLMORE AT HoME.-The Buffalo
Courier thus announces the glorious VIC
tory achieved by the Democracy in the
very home Of Willard Fillmore:
eve are proud to announce that Hon.
Israel I. Hatch, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress, is elected by very
handsome majority Mr.. Hatch will
have the honor of being the first demo-
cratic representative in Congress from
this district for many years.
awe take pleasure in congratulating
the Democracy of the country on this
glorious result. The neck Of Know
nothingism is broken, and Black Re-
publicanism, with its train of odious
isms, is repudiated. The prestige Of
the once powerful firm Of Fillmore, Hall,
and Haven is destroyed; the defiant
boasts of the sectionalists arc proved to
be mere gasconade. We have met the
enemy, and they are ours"

LANCASTER County The Know
nothings who, upon the assertions of
their reliaJe organs, hazarded their
money upon tue position that Mr.. Buch-
anan could not carry his own county,
hare lost. The home Of Buchanan,
which rolled up some 5000 for Pollock,
has now given her favorite son a hand
some majority over all forms of ISM
The official vote stands thus: Buchanan,
S,731 Fillmore, straight, 677; Fusion,
6,60S, of which the tickets headed Fill
more get 3,6l5, and those headed Free
mont the remainder, or, 2,903. The
Fusion ticket was composed OF IL Fill
more men and IL Fremont men. The
understanding was that he CFillmore or
Frcmont) who appeared to be preferred
by the fusionlsts Of the whole State,
should be united upon by all the electors.
TO determine this, those who preferred
Fillmore put his name (Which made up
the number of ~ electors) upon their
tickets, and those who preferred Fremont
put his name on their tickets.

TREMENDOUS FIRE AT SYRACUSE, New
YoRK.-Loss About ONE MILLION OF
DOLLARS. -Syracase, Norember Sat
three o'clock this morning the largest
fire that has ever visited our city broke
out in the first ward, and, in the short
space of three hours, over twelve acres
were burnt, and about one hundred
buildings consumed. The fire originated
in the barn back of Grants hotel, which
had not been occupied for three years.
1t Immediately communicated to Grants
hotel, occupied by Barney Grant, which
was consumed The loss on the building
is estimated at $4,000. The store of
MIR. McGuire then caught fire and was
soon burned down-loss IS, 900. The
flames then spread to the new and mag
ni6cent building owned by Mcssrs. Stat
terly 4 Ford, and soon it was in mass
of ruins. 1t was occupied by the Messrs.
Lynch Bros. who had just got in an en-
tire new stock of goods, The loss on
the building will be about $40, 000-in-
sured 1000 The Lynches will lose
about $40, 000-insured $4,000. A
large number of wooden buildings in the
rear and adjoining block were consumed
The Avery block, owned by l.. G..
Avery was entirely destroyed, Loss
$40, O00-insurance not ascertaincd.
The Bank of Salina was also consumed
loss on the building So, 600. All the
books and papers of the Bank were saved.
The Post Office and Telegraph Office were
destroyed, but we learn that all the let
tiers and papers were saved. The water
at the Reservoir was turned off and con-
sequcntly the hydrants were useless.
A strong west wind was blowing at the
time, and our citizens were compelled to
stand and see their property consumed
with nothing to stop its progress. The
entire loss can fall little short of one
million of dollars, and may reach more.
Over one hundred families have been
rendered homeless. The fire was un-
doubtedly the work of an incendiary.

An OssIFIED MAN.--In a quiet little
village on the Western Reserve in Ohio,
says the Prescott Transcript, there lives
a man who, physiologically considered,
is certainly oneef the wonders of the
world. His joints are completely os-
sified, turned to bone, and he is not
capable of making the slightest move
ment, except alternately opening and
shutting two fingers of his right hand.
His body is as rigid as iron, and it
could not be bent forward or backward
without breaking some of his bones.-
This singular process of Justification has
been going on in his system for more
than twenty years. He is now about AZ
years old, and has not had the use of
his limbs so that he could walk since he
was nineteen. Ossifcation commenced
first in his ankle joints, gradually ex-
tending itself through his system until
he was entirely helpless. Since that
time he has been entirely under his mo-
theirs care, and she watches over him
with an anxiety which only mother can
feel
When about twenty years old he be-
came entirely blind, and has remained so
ever since. At about thirty he suffered
greatly from the toothache, and finally
he had his teeth all extracted. A year
or two afterwards his finger and toe nails
all came off, and were supplied by others
growing out from his fingers and toes at
right angles, and presenting the appear
ance of horns. What is still more sin
gular with regard to his nails is, if the
end of the nail is cut off it will bleed
freely.
Such is the condition of this remark
able man at the present time. He has
been visited by great number of scen-
tific men, from all parts of the world,
but all have failed to give any plausible
reason of the cause of his transformation
from flesh to bone Singular as it may
appear. although his jawbone is firmly
set in his head, he not only talks freely,
but huently converscs with his friends
and those who visit him, on all ordinary
topics of the day, and he shows himself
well informed and of good mind He is
always cheerful, appears contented and
happy, and it seems probable that he
will live many years to come.

IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.-I is
stated in the Philadelphia American that
private letters, received in that city from
the Hon. George NJ. Dallas, United
States Minister at the Court of st. James,
by his confidential friends, convey the
important intelligence thai he has sue
ceeded in negotiating a treaty between
the United States and England, which
covers and settles all the points in dis
pute between the two countries. 1t has
been the earnest desire of President
Pierce aud Secretary Marcy to accom-
plish this difficult task before retiring
from office, so that all possible troubles
might be smoothed away for the incom-
ing administration. The instructions
given to Mr. Dallas, when he entered
upon his mission, have been zealously
acted up to by him, and the result has
been most happy as above noted.

DEATH OF SENATOR CLAYTON. 1t is
with profound regret. (says the National
Intelligencer) that we have to announce
the death of the Hon. JOIN NJ. CLAY
TON, the veteran and distinguished Sen
ator of the United States from the State
of Delaware. A Geographic despatch
informed us yesterday that he died at
Dover on Sunday evening at 7 o'clock.
We were unprepared for this melancholy
event, as we had recently understood
from several friends who had visited him
that the illness of the eminent statesman
had ceased to wear critical appearance.
In intellectual power and craftsmanship
Mr.. Clayton has left no superior in the
exalted body of which he was so long a
conspicuous member; and in his decease
his immediate family and friends sustain
a loss not greater than that which is
suffered by the whole country We
shall wait for more competent hands to
commemorate the public career and use
fulness and the personal virtues of the
lamented statesman.
