The News is correct in the declaration that "not

to the Franklnton Convention but as to the Democ-

GREAT FIRE IN OxFoRD.-A correspondent of the
Raleigh Register, writing from Oxford, N. c., 26th
inst, SAYS:
1.-THE inhabitants of quiet village were aroused
from their sleep this morning, at abut o'clock, by
the startling alarm of fire, and the prolonged
ringing of bells. The large store of Messrs RAN &
D. c Hcrndon was discovered to be in blaze, the
fire burning with awful vigor and extending with
wonderful rapdity. The house so mnch cnvel-
oped in lames that despite the efforts Of the excited
and alarmed multitude assembled only the safe and
a portion Of the books were saved. The confagra-
tion soon communicated with the Tailoring shop be-
longing to Gen. McClanahan, lying north of the
store and with the row of buildings Immediately
sonth and property of B. N Herndon Esq. All these,
in two hours time, we're mass of ruins. The ten
ement adjoining the Tailoring shop was fortunately
constructed of brick, through covered with wood
roof and occupied as Drug store by Messrs. r
j. Mitchell & Co., and by the most unremtting eff.
the roof being on fire for more than an hour The
two hotels of the village are situated on the same
side of the street which the fire occurred and the
fire actually extended far the Granville House
on the South belonging to DR.. Samuel Williams. and
but for the brick-store would have reached the OK
ford Hotel the North the property of R. N. Hern-
don ESQ. The loss sustained is estimated follows:
'Messrs G. N. & D. Herndon. $35, 00O insured
for $4,000; R. N Herndon, 81, 900, besides all of
his individual bords; T. NJ. Lynch, Jeweller 5000
insured; R. j. Mitchell & Co.. $500; W. S.
Mechanism. 81 COO; R. L. Hunt & Bros, 81 900,
insured j. G. 4 H. c. Herndon. $50. insured"
This is the first large fire that has occurred in Ok
ford. It found the citizens utterly unprepared; no
engine, fire company. We regret that so heavy q
calamity has fallen upon the people Of Oxford.

SCARCITY OF PRovENDBR-We learn that in &C.
vera counties west Of this fodder hay, &C., is un-
commonly scarce. The cold weather having con.
tnued so long, and prevented the grass from grow
ing, many farmers have found themselves unable to
supply their stock with this kind of food and manv
who heretofore sold large quantities have not been
able to satisfy their own wants 1t is feared that
stock will suffer greatly account Of this scarcity.
We were informed by gentleman in search Of the
article, that shucks wheat straw, and in fct anv.
thing in that way, would command extra prices.
