The Legislature.

It's now generally believed that the
Legislature will be able to complete it's
business and adjourn by the fifteenth Of
the present month. A great many very
silly paragraphs have appeared in the
Locofoco papers, abusing the Legislature
and accusing it of doing nothing No
person who is acqainted with the facts.
wonld make accusations Of this sort, un-
less determined to misrepreSent, and gain
some small party advantage thereby. The
present Legislature has wasted as little
time as any deliberative body we have
ever known any thing Of There has been,
and there still is, great deal of business
before the Legislature. Many important
bills have been passed. and there are sew
eral others partially matursd or in pro-
gress, and the Legislature ought not to ad-
journ. and probably will not adjourn until
their whole work is completdd.--O. s.

Fire!

Our usually quiet town was aroused
on yesterday morning, about 3o'ciock. 8
by the cry of FIRE. and the ringing of
bells. The FIRE took place in the old
FIGURING Mill, of Mr.. John Davis d Bro, I,
which, with it's entire contents, grain,
-four and machinery, fell victim to the
devouring element. The dwelling and
adjoining houses, and stables Of Mr.. Da.
Wis, we're also entirely consumed. Some
household furniture was saved through
the exertions of our citizens, who were
upon the spot in short time after the
alarm was given. We have not learned
the probable loss of Mr.. Davis, but II is
considerable, both to him and the coun-
try around, as this mill was constantly in
operation. and done the principal part Of
the gristing.
