MINES on FIRE.-A fortnight since, the French
Mountain vein, up the Norwegian, worked by Rogers,
Sinnickson & CO.. and the property Of the Delaware
Coal Company, fired at the aiFshaft below water
level. The vein, from the start burned fiereely
that all attempts to check the flames proved ruitiess
and the essees occupied themselves in removing the
machinery ETC.. of the operation. 1t is thought the
fire is the work of miner, dissatisfied with the
reduction of wages, which it is the rule to establish
at this season. the act the ncendiary has stopped
one of the most valuable redash coeries in the re-
gion has entailed possibly considerable loss on the
lessees, and thrown out of employment many miners
upon whom, at this severe season, are dependent
scores of women and children 1t is contemplated to
turn portion of the Norwegian Creek into the mine
and thus if possible extnguish the fire. The lessees
have another operation the Diamond vein, and are
opening two other veins on the same property. The
Nit. Laffe colliery-Chares MiIler's- took fire las'
May and has been burning since, below water level
The operation was closed, and water let in. Last
week, we understand. the mine filed mp, and ere
this the fire has been undoubtedly extinguished.

Fatal AFFRAY.--An ARRAY occurred at the Metro
poiitan Hosse ON Saturday night last, between II
and O'Clock, which resulted in the deatf, of one MAJ
and the serious nurng Of an0sher. After the house
was closed on that evening, Capt. ". W. Powell and
several OF his friends remained in the room, and
of the attaches Of the house reproving the SER
wants for renissness Of duty, when Capt Powell
interfered, and after several words passed between
him and Irish boy Zone Of the servantl be knocked
the boy down and commenced stamping him. when
Mr. G. W. Redck, one Of the attaches Of the house,
interfered, and after some words passing between
Powell and Reddick, the former made some demon
strations towards the latter, when Reddick drew o
pistol and forbade him to advance on him, which,
however, he did, and Reddick then fired, the ball
taking effect in Powelfs stomach. Powels friends
then commenced firing upon Reddick, and some 1--WE
six balls were fired, only one of which took effect
lodging in lis thigh. The police were then called in
and the affair stopped. Powell was removed to the
