what weapons were agreed upon We have not
learned, but presume they were various. In all
probability the first was mixture of mint, sugar,

FIRE AT GAINESVILLE VA.-Quite . destructive
fire occurred at GAINESVILLE, Va, on the night of the
18th inst. The Tobacco PUNT sums up the damage
done as follows:
BLANKS, Dabbs & Co.'s store house, valued at
$1,000.
A. j. Cheatham's store house, at 81, 500.
r. C. Spencer's store house. valued at 81 900.
These three the two latter owned by Jas. NJ Blanks
partly insured
A. D. Doggett Co.'S store house, valued at
81, 900, owned by E. A. Holloway.
A. B. Davis, store house, valued at 5000.
Robert Boyd's store house valued at 81, 900, the
two last owned by Overbey Jefress, and partly
insured.
Robt. H. Bugg's store house, valued at $500,
partly insured.
John j. Daniels Prizery, loss small
Joel Metzger's store house, valued at 81 500, own.
ed by G. w. r. Averett
George A. Harris store house, valued at s., 900,
partly insured
John Cardwsll's Prizery. owned by Darlington &
Moss. 81 900.
It is impossible this morning. in the confusion
which PREVAILS to form any accurate estimate of the
actual loss sustained but it is necessarily very great
and cannot fall far short of $35 OOO about half of
which was covered by insurance. A large proper.
ton Of the goods in the different stores were carried
out and saved, of course much damaged in the re-
moval
No injury to life or limb was received on the &C.
casion-except that faithful and valuable dog be-
longing to Mr. R. H. Bugg was burned up in bis
store, refusing to leave it. although both doors and
windows were open and efforts made to induce him
to leave. Indeed the dog frequently followed his
master out he carried out the goods but finally
returned and was consumed"
RExARKABLE-It will be found on reference to
the figures in the official vote in another place, that
in the eleven counties Of this District running from
Halifax to and including Pasquotank, DR.. Shaw
and Mr.. Smith were tied-each Of them having
ceived the same number Of votes (4575) in those
counties Thus we're the two champions looked
during the through eleven counties. and Cam
den and Currituck were left to settle the question
The combined vote for Dr.. Shaw in those two coun.
ties was just 80 more than that for Mr.. Smith-and
that is the precise majority by which Dr.. Shaw is
elected His majority in Camden and Currituck
combined is SO votes-and his majority in the Dis
trict is SO votes So that these two counties decid
ed q drawn battle between eleven counties.
The idea (which was already very popular) that
the candidate who comes over the Float Bridge
ahead is bound 10 beat will now become . positive
conviction with many. At oil events, there has
never been an exception to the rule.
