If it is sound practice in owners to insure

proper to protect the safer and more innocent

rates of premiums charged. In fact, the lat

and it's cost more nicely determined. Every
one that possesses the least ability to accumu-

monial of his high appreciation of Captain

A RIVER ON FIRE.-The whiskey rectify-
ing establishment of Henry.W Blunt, George
town, Nd, was destroyed by fire Saturday
night. The bursting of $50 barrels of whis-
key, and the running of the blazing fluid into
the river, was a sight to behold. The sur
face of the river was covered with a blue
fame. and the Potomac looked on fire. A
Boston packet, lying close by, had to push
out into the stream for fear of being surroun.
ded by the devouring element.
GEN. WIN. 7. HAsKELL.-We have already
mentioned the fact thatthis distinguished and
eloquent Tennesseean had become hopelessly
insane. lie passed through Louisville on
Friday last, in charge of friends on his way
to the lunatie asylum at Lexington KY. 1t
is stated that while in the cars he arose and
in the most eloquent and pathetic terms ap-
peeled to the gallant Kentuckians, among
whom he was, to protect him from the relent-
less enemies he imagined were pursuing him,
He became so excited and violent that his
friends were forced to confne him.
Br Three more persons have been saved

Drifting for eight days on the ocean withou

Fatal Acnident.-Rum's DOings.

On the Goth ult., a negro mar belonging
to Mrs. Sarah Buchanan, in company with
his Mistress little daughter, went to Gold
Hill, in Rowan county. On returning tn
same day, he called at a place where liquor
was kept for sale, and purchased a gallon OF
the dark beverage Of hell and then procee-
ded towards home but becoming i~ntoxica-
tod on the way he fell off his horse and the
wagon run over him, inGicting fatal wounds.
The little girl led the horses with the wagon
to the next house, leaving the negro alone
in the road. The negro's Mistress was sem
for and no was removed home where he died
next morning.
This is another record of the doings OF tina
fell monster, Rum. o! that the blightinl
curse which has long invaded our country
might be removed. If this was 50, ours iE
deed would be q happy country.

For the Spirit Of the Ace

On the 9th of August last, ELECTION day.
there was not a drop of liquor in our little
Town (Magnolia) in the morning but one
of the vendors had ordered some the day
before, by Express. At eight o'clock it came,
the result was, u dozen or so w~allowing about
the streets, very soon. One poor old man
Edmond Mathis) got drunk, started home
and was walking on the Rail Road, met the
evening mail train, the Engineer saw him,
md supposed he would get off the track but
he was too drunk the ears run against him
knocked him of, then stopped and picked him
up, but before they reached the Depot he
was dead. Now the question arises, who kill
cd him? the liquor seller or the Railroad cars?
