~A large mill and distillery, near
West Alexandria, Preble County, Ohio,
was burned down, in the night, about a
month since, together with a turnpike
bridge near by. The building contained
a large quantity of whiskey and grain.
and the light of the fire was plainly seen
for twenty miles, in every direction. So
light was it, that the fire bells in Dayton.
eighteen miles distant, were rung, and
the engines started out in the direction of
the fire. The fire was caused by a Ger
man who went into the building to draw
whiskey for customer, and permitted
the liquid to ignite from the candle
Two men were severely burned-the one
who was drawing the liquor, has since
died.
There was no insurance on the build
ing. The loss is severe for the owner /;
but his establishment was perfect nest

victims are now experiencing . fire

A SEARcHER AFTER KEowIEDGE.-A
correspondent, who evidently wants to
understand the why's and wherefores of
everything, writing to US, speaks of hav-
ing often seen and heard it stated that
everything was created for some wise and
useful purpose--for instance, one says
that flies are intended to consume various
impure substances which would otherwise
be injurious to human health. Another
person says snakes are useful, in the way
of destroying flies and other insects
Another place, he sees it stated that some
other animal is good for killing snakes
and so it goes. He wants to know why
the first instances are created, if others
are required to destroy them; or why
the animal which destroys the snakes,
could not have been made, in the first
place. to destroy the impurities which it
is the Office of the flies to perform, and
thus dispense with long train of inter-
mediate instances? What does he ask
us these questions for? We didn't make

DEATH OF AMERICAN STATESMEN
The death of Mr.. Marcy reminds the
country how rapidly its great and emf

the last two years. and what void their

Almost all the great and illustrious

twenty-five years of the present century,

WIscoSsIS.-There is a strong pro-
liability of Wisconsin becoming dena-
tionalized. Of all the emigrants Of
Scandinavian origin, nine-tsnths settle in
this State. They may already be count
ed by scores of thousands. In addition
to these there are immense numbers Of
Germans and Irish. The city of Mil
waukee has probably greater number
Of inhabitants of foreign birth, in pro-
portion to its size, than any other city in
the Union. The native citizens form the
minority. A week or two ago thou
sand Norwegians arrived there, and it is
said that as many as twenty thousand
of their countrymen will follow in the
course Of the present. year. They are an
industrious and peAceable race. little dis
posed to NEEDLE undnly with political
affairs. With their hardy habits they
must aid greatly in the advancement Of
the regions of the north-west.-PhilaGel-

The Richmond Wing tells story OF
lady who while walking in the streets a
day or two since. was seen suddenly to
manifest alarming trepidation. A gen.
tlenan approached her. and she exclaim-
ed that reptile was crawling upon her.
He advised her to shake her garments,
and she did so several times without rid
ding herself of the varmint." The
gentleman. at her request, then inserted
his hand between the drapery of her ex-
terror skirt and the crinoline, but his fin-
gers coming in contact with the snake or
whatever it might be. he quickly with
drew them. The lady again gave her
skirts a shake, and out dropped small
red lizard, which was quickly despatched
by the gentleman who had exhibited his
gallantry. She, of course. experienced
great relief. and after pleasantly thanking
the gentleman for his attention, resumed
her walk. The story is all very well /;
but if the lizard was between her exterior
skirt and crinoline, kow in h3nder could

Doniphan County.

Our County is one of the very best in
the Territory, in every respect; and, ac-
cording to the census, the third in point
of population. Leavenworth and Doug
las Counties are represented as being more
populous; but it is our belief that, were
r the census taken correctly. it wonld show
rs to be second to Leavenworth. And,
should the Counties not be cut up into
smaller ones, we believe, in few years,
we should run Leavenworth very close. in
this respect. We have river border Of
IS miles; and width varying from to
Is miles.
Doniphan County possesses all the ell
ements to render her citizens comfortable.
There is Scarcely anything that The earth
yields, which may not be found here. We
have vast bodies of timber. sufficient for
building purposes and fuel. any quantity
OF springs and streams of pure water,
vast quantities Of stone, for building pur-
poses, large bodies Of coal. and any
amount of clay for brick. Besides this,
we have a soil unsurpassed in productive
ness, and adaptation to, the growth of all
kinds of grain. fruit and vegetables In

We have more towns than any other

Missouri ELEcrIoS.-We have but
few returns of the Missouri Election,
which came off on Monday. The returns
received. indicate tremendous gains for
Rollins, the American candidate for Gov
crnor. In Holt County, where Buch-
anan received almost two votes to Fill
more's one, we learn that Stewards ma
jority is but 10. In Andrew County,
which has always been strongly Demo.
cratic, Rollins is reported few votes
ahead. In Buchanan and Platte Coun-
ties, large gains are reported for Rollins.
If Rollins gains in proportion, in the
balance Of the State, his majority will be
over 10000! The North Western
Counties are strongly Benton, and may
do better for Rollins than some other
portions of the State. But the present
indications are decidedly favorable for
him.

WAS Texas PART OF THE ROMAN EN-
PRE- Mr.. H. d. Patrick, of Texas, has
found. at some distance below the sur
face Of the ground, near Leona, an an
cient copper coin, about the size of a
cent. The original figures and lettering
on both sides, says the Galveston News,
have been considerably defaced by the
apparent corrosion of ages. Tn one side,
however. can be plainly seen the word
Caesar" on the outer edge, and over an
image much like all such a. we see Of
the Roman Emperor on the other ancient
coins. There are visible two or three Of
the letters of the word Julius" on the
left of Cesar, and on the right some of
the Roman numerals, evidently intended
to show the date, but are too much cor
roded to be clearly made out. On the
reverse side is the image of Roman SOL
dier, with a shield in one hand and the
other elevated, but so much defaced that
the weapon held is not visible.-Nev
