The Old Log Cabin - Burned Ground.
The Old Log Cabin so famous in political history
has gone at last It was the residence of Gen. Harr
son. at North Bend about fifteen miles below the city,
when he was nominated for President, and was made "a
nous by thousand songs in the campaign of l840.-
Miniature limitations were erected in every corner of the
land, and praises of
1.-THE rough log cabin,

were upon every tongue and probably had quite much
influence in the election any other subject that
canvassed But its atchstrng has disappeared at last
We have no minute details Of the confagration, but
learn from passengers who arrived by the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad yesterday morning between and
o'clock that the train arrived at North Bend the
Old Log Cabin was enveoped in flames, and that its
destruction was complete. 1t was occupied by COL W.
II. H. Taylor, (who married a daughter of Gen. Harr
son. and family, aid we learn that such was the rapid
progress of the fire. and so late its discovery that the
members of the household barely escaped in their night
clothes!
Of course nothing saved in the way of furniture
or documents, and the probability is, that many vaua
BILE papers left by President Harrison together with
tces cherished as relics of the old hero and Of the early
history of the wes have been destroyed with the build
ing. The only portrait of Mrs. Harrison in existence
painted by Beard) with two or three of the General
taken at different periods of his life, are also probably
destroyed
Mrs Harrison the widow of President Harrison for
tunately not in the dwelling the venerable lady at
present being at the residence of Hon. j. Scott Harr
san, son of Gen. H., few miles below the old home
stead
North Bend is not only famous as the unpretending
residence of President Harrison but occupies mean
position in western history. It was the first landing
place OF John Ceves Symmes, the original patenee OF
all the land between the two Miamis, and was at one
time regarded as the rival of Cincinnati or "Fort
Washington" At North Bend, Judge Symmes pro
jected the great Miami City, and went so far as to
map out Streets lawns public squares and all the ar
engagements for city of the first magnitude but for
tunate incident turned the tide in favor of the present
site of aourishirg metropolis, and North Bend
has ever since remained beautiful rural retreat from
the dust, impurities, and busy throng of the city.

to relieve the sick animals. The symptoms we have
heard of are those of founder of cramp in the stomach
of sore mouth and udder and of refusal or inability
eat.
Since the above was in type, learn that number

Tomorrow Thursday, August 5th, will be election
day Let us beg to remind our readers that other Off
ces besides that of Sheriff will have to be filed other
officers to be elected. Let beg every Democrat to
keep before his mind the fact that Judge Ellis is the
Democratic candidate for Governor, and that VIM. S.
Ashe is the regularly nominated Democratic candidate
for the Senate, and George j. Moore and R. K. BRYAN
for the House of Commons from New Hanover County.
We do not underrate the Importance of the Office of
Sheriff. but it is only office The candidates for that
Office are known, and do not require our advocacy
They can and do all talk for themselves The people of
town and country can decide for themselves according
to their best judgments. We cannot now deviate
from the course of strict impartaty which we marked
out for ourselves at the outset and to which we have
since rigidly adhered.
If the people of the East, and more especially the
people of Wilmington, wish really and tangiby to mark
their determination to hold the West to the fument
of its pledge to abandon the Danvile scheme, given
when the n. G. Railroad bill was passed, then let them
evince that feeling by voting for Judge Ellis the gentle
man who considers that pledge obligatory and will ad
here to it and not Mr. McRae who advocates the Dan
vile connection
Practically no one attaches any sort of Importance tt
the distribution hobby of Mr.. McRae Outside of thu
noise and confusion of Mr. McRaes ingenious appeals
all feel that this thing is but hobby, and will end wher
it began, in mere eectioneering.
First vote for Ellis and the rest of the regular ticket
Make sure of that; you need be in no sort of fear
forgetting to vote for Sheriff That will be attended to
You will not be able to forget it, even if you try &c
first through with your party duty, then go it Just
strong you quietly and peacefully can for your favor
lite candidate for Sheriff. and no one can blame vou No
body can be expected to vote for three No one, no
even those for whom any one does not vote can hav
any right to complain Each and every one Of the can
didates has admitted this freely on the stump and W
must take it for granted that each one meant what
