SEVERAL STORES BURNED
Loss about $2OO,OOO.


From the Boston journal we learn that an
other destructive conaagration-the second
within the last six wceks--occurrcd in Boston
last Saturday night.
The fire broke out in the store No. 60 Milk
street occupied by Elias b. Paine dealer in
dry goods, and owned by the heirs Of Robert
Treat Paine The origin Of the fire is not
positively known. but it is a somewhat unu-
suol and remarkable fact that before the fire.
men, who were promptly on the ground after
the general alarm was given had got a single
stream to bear on the flames, the building,
which is four stories in hight was in blaze
of flame from cellar to attic. This circum-
stance cannot well be accounted for in any
other manner than that the scuttlcs leading
from one story to the other were open through
all the floors, thus forming perfect and I'M
interrupted draft or nuo for the flames to as
cend and as the blaze went upward through
the several lofts, the light fabrics composing
the stock on the shelves caught fire, and,
without checking, the whole stock was speed
ly cnvclopcd in one mass of fire.
From No. 60, the fire, within two hours
time, had spread westwardly to the store of
Mcssrs. Baldwin, Baxter n Curry, dealers in
wooden goods, at 81 Mix street, where they

some burglar or burglars attempted to pur-
lon money from the change drawer of j. S.

bargmned for. The drawer was located very
near one of the front windows and the plan
adopted was, to break out pane of class

~ The albany Jounal, in noticing the
death Of one of the horses which was driven
on the twenty mile race at Detroit few
days since, rcbukcs such too common brutal
ity to the horse as follows:
If there be any law under which brutality
like this is punishable, it ought to be enforc-
ed. The Horse was designed by Providence
for usefulness. lie is a noble Animal. whose
bone and muscle are made to contribute. in a
thousand Indispensable ways. to the necessi-
ties, the convenience, the health and the hap
pinoss of race claiming to be more cnnoblcd.
Our power over the Horse is a trust which
ought not to be abused And vet how often
and how cruelty it is abused. Thousands
are overtasked. Thousands, oycrworkod and
ill-lod, die from exhaustion Obedient and
enduring, resonting no injuries and refusing
no task, they drag their heavy burthons along
until exhausted nature compels them to sink
down III their harness, victims to the cupidity
and inhumanity Of owners destitute of the in
stinctive virtues which all generous hearts
value and cherish. The man who wantonlv
abuses the HoRsE that serves him so faithful
ly, deserves punishment corresponding in Sc
verify with that inflicted upon the nobler an
Imal OF the two. The wretch who ran his
Horse to death, at Detroit. ought himself TO
be put in harness and under the lash. The
man who whips his Horse numerically.
ought to have his own back scourgcd. The
Cartman who strikes his Horse with a stake
ought to have the brutality paid back, round
ly, with the same bludgeon.

ETHAN ALIENS RMAGNs.-"Every dav
bring, something new" in regard to the
burial place of Ethan Allen. and the papers
from Maine to Michigan arc attempting "to
throw some light on this subject" The Free
Press last week announced that the remains
had been found in the Green Mount Cemetery
at Burlington, where it had been so long sup
posed that he was buried whercupon the
Times intimatos the possibility that the bones
which were found arc not those Of Allen. but
were olaHdestinoly placed there to blind the
eyes of the public, and promaturcly settle the
question as to his burial place. But the last
we have seen is the statement of the widow
of Capt. Hannibal Allen, Gen. Aliens eldest
SON, to the effect that he was buried at Benz
"h'gton instead of Burlington
We have however sccn nothing as vet to
dispute tho death of Ethan Allen. and we
venture that the commissioners will carry out
the spirit of the act of the Legislature in
erecting monument to commemorate the
noble deeds of the noble man, and that Green
Mount Cemetery at Burlington will be the
place Of its erection

be made TO the next session of the Leeisla-

ton of shires as such division shall render
necessary also application will be made to
take from Windsor County the towns, Roy

TO the County Of Orange, and locate the half
shire for the western part of Orange County
at such place as shall best answer the towns

will be made to create new counties out of

MAI OF WAsHINGroN County -Messrs.
Baker ~ Tilden have shown us a copy of
this almost indispensable dcsidcratum for our
County and from the hasty glance we have
had of it, we must say that for beauty and
accuracy it is unsurpassed by any thing of the
kind we have over seen. To attempt mi
mute description of the map would be to give
a description Of Washington County as it ac-
tutlly is for the map is nothing but such a
representation. Messrs. Baker ~ Tilden are
now visiting the various towns in the County.
and supplying those who have heretofore sub
Serbed' and also all others who may wish
copy No man ought to be without one :
and we hope that the people of the County
will respond to this enterprise in manner
which it so richly deserves.
