wolves claim notice. On Wednesday night last,
as Mr.. Mitchell was driving y mail wagon on
the back Calais route from Bcddineton 10 the

city, being without passengers, his team was be-
set by pack of wolves. They were about a
dozen in number and came on fierce and noisy
Mitchell, however, drove up smart, which he
had no difficulty in doing, as the horses were
quite as much frightened as himself As they
pressed hard upon him and slared their eycballs
and gnashed their teeth about him, he let go
the contents of rifle, which laid out one Of the
hungry crew and for the time checked their
pursuit. This was providentially near the stop
ping place, upon arriving at which, the driver
is said to have been pretty we'll overcome with
excitement and fright. Wolves and bears are
very plenty on the back route and very auda-
cious.-Bangor Onion, Dec. 5.

MARKEr HoUsE.-The improvements upon the
Market House are going on again, and are being
prosecuted with renewed vigor. The new struc-
ture, we are Informed, will be comp letcd at the
earliest possible period, and from the energy Of
those who have the work in charge, we opiue the
day is not far distant. Our attention was called,
not loug since, to some ugyrloOking cracks over
the arches upon which the center of the upper
stories rest Surprising that they were Of recent
orgn, we took occasion yesterday to call attention
to their existence, and to suggest that the arches
were giving way, it would be useless to complete
the building until they were re construed. We
have since been informed that these cracks have
existed for many years and we're occasoned by the
settling Of the walls directly after the erection Of
The Old building. With regard to the arches, they
considered by some Of our best architects to
be among the strongest and best formed TO be
found in the city. We are much gratifed, as will
be our citizens, to ascertain that such is the case,
and that there is possibility OF serious accident
or fruitless expense from the completion Of the i'm
provements nov being made.

FIRE.-The slaughter house aud stables Of Adam
Cole, situated on the bank Of the river, about one
mile below the Square, were destroyed by fire last
night between the hours Of and o'clock Il
contained'a considerable amount Of tallow, beef
and hides, but small portion of which were saved.
Mr.. Coles horses wer in the stables at the time
but were removed unharmed. The fire probably
originated from hogshesd in which some beei or
hams were being smoked Nr. Coles loss will not
fall short Of $500. There was no insurance on any
OF the property.
As soon as the alarm was given the engines
were got out, but the distance 10 the Ere (Which
bad been under way for somc time beiore) and the
combustible matter which fed the flames, spread
them so fast rendered the efforts Of the gallant
fremen OF no avail
