Fires.

On Tuesday morning last, Mr.. Pack
ards mill, in Columbia township, was de-
stroysd by fire. 1t was first discovered
.bou, four O'Clock in the morning, but not
in time to extinguish the flames. A Mr..
Nc cCullough and \ son of Mr.. Packard
were sleeping in the mill. and on being
awakened by the sound of the flames
rushed toward the ususl place of exit but
the flames had taken possession OF that po-
sition, and they retreaed to window,
only in time for Mr.. Mccullough to make
his escape. The boy was in the act OF
following Mr.. Mccullough, when, unluck,
,ly. quantity of powder, which was sus'
pended above the window exploded, fore
ing the boy back into the mill, who was
consumed. Mr.. Nc Cullough was burned.
but not severely. The fire is supposed to
be the work OF an incendiAry. The esti-
mated loss on the mill, and grain and lum-
Der in il, is between five and six thousand
dollars; no insurance.
One day ast week. we learn THAT MIR.
Geiger, of Columbia Township. had his en-
tire stock Of hay. wheat, DC, destroyed by
fire. The grain was in his stack yard
and the fire WAS conveyed to it by the grass
and stubbles of the adjoining fields. The
estimated loss we did not hear.
We have no further particulars OF the
IRE in Harrisonville. The report is tha
tho principal hotel and two or three adjoin
ing houses were destroyed.
The numerous fires which are occurring
should cause our citizens to be very care
full with 6re during the windy season o
March and April.

the following extract:
Between Cincinnati and Baltimore the
distance is 598 miles, which does not vary
one degree from
AN AIR LINE,
And the whole distance is through Slave
States, or adjacent thereto, thus affordng
peculiar advantages to the Southern trav-
eIer not possessed by any other road"
That ~ the frst instance. in our knowl-
sdge, where = railroad, located in free
State. has appealed to the sectional pref
udices of people for patronage.-I"di0''-
apoIis Journal.
And this first instance proved miser-
able failure. The road did not profit by
the sectional appeal" and the men who
were mean enough to write and publish ar
advertisement insulting alike to higf
minded men Of the South as well as th'
North, We are glad, to hear, arc about t.
vacate positions they should never have
occupied. One of the greatest misfor
tunes of the Cincinnati q Marietta Rail
