FIRE.-We learn from an extra from
the office of the Kalamazoo Telegraph
that on Tuesday night about ten o'clock
fire was discovered on the side of
of Sweetland's store, about four feet
from the rear of T. p. Sheldon & Co. s
Banking office. The alarm was in
stantly given, but before help could be
rallied, so combustible was the bull
ding, that the Banking Office was fairly
in flames, as well as the Sweetland
store; one-half of the latter occupied
by VIM. Dewing as an Office, and in
which was stored small stock of shelf
hardware and quantity of window
sash. The other half was occupied by
VIM. McCourtie as -four and family
grocery and provision store. Both
buildings were burned to the ground.
Loss not given. 1t is thought to be
the work of an incendiary.

Heavy Frost.

On Friday night of last week, this
part of the State was visited by heavy
black frost, which did considerable
damage to garden crops of all kinds.
Cucumber, melon and similar vines
were nipped closely, and in many in.
stances were killed outright. Potatoes
and corn were injured to considera-
BILE extent, though not killed. Beans,
tomatoes and other tender plants were
slaughtered pretty thoroughly. AS far
as heard from, the fruit is not materially
injured, the heavy foliage protecting it.
Strawberries that were ripening, have
escaped. We learn that the injury to
the crops in the counties north of u.s.
is quite serious, the wheat in some in.
stances, not escaping. If this proves
to be the case, we should feel thankful
right about here, that the old fellow
touched us as lightly as he did.

The Empire State Democracy.

The " democracy" in New York are
in a glorious state of commotion again.
The whole organization is stirred up to
its very foundation by the question
whether delegates to the Charleston
Slave Trade Convention shall be chosen
by districts or by the State at large,
through the Administration wirepullers,
when they shall meet in convention.
The latter feel confident that they can
carry the convention, but are not so
sure that they can control every Con-
gressional district, and as they are de-
termined that the other faction, headed
by Ex-Mayor Wood, shall have no
voice at Charleston if they can prevent
it, they are resolved to stifie the minor
ity by the general ticket system. They
believe THAT minorities, no more than
niggers, have any rights which they
are bound to respect. The fight bids
fair to be fierce if not doubtful one
I-AdUertiser.
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-06-09

1t costs something's to enjoy the
luxury of breathing a slaye-impregna-
ted atmosphere, however glorious the
privilege. All interest money, bonds
and mortgages, &C., are taxed two and
a half per cent. in Charleston, a four
wheeled two horse carriage $50 so, a
four wheeled ore horse carriage s25,
all incomes from trades or professions
two and half per cent, &c. Every
thing is taxed in proportion except
slaves, upon whom it is three dollars
only. So it is the policy to encourage
the production of that commodity, and
to discourage all other branches of in.
dustry. But that policy is not confined
to Charleston alone. 1t prevails to a
greater or less extent throughout the
south, but especially in South Carolina
and Virginia.

RICHES AND PovERTY.-That pow
erty is real evil it would be absurd to
deny; and that it is the parent of many
other evils, moral no less than physical,
experience teaches, and will forever
teach us. Not only that poverty that
stands between its victims and the COM
mon comforts, almost necessaries, of
life, is thus pregnant with sorrow and
sin but that too, which closes the &C
cess to every elegant enjoyment, and
binds down to petty cares and worldly
anxieties the time, the thought, the
whole spirit. But to believe that the
reverse of all this must i'm itself be hap
piness, is to have little experience, in
deed, of life, with all its varieties of
pam and disappointment-of blighted
hopes-of unavailing repentance.
Some who have never known what it
is to possess riches believe that the
power of dispensing them must and
does bring happiness; but in vain does
" the widows heart sing for joy" if no
chord in the breast of her benefactor
echoes to the sound of her rejoicings
if he feels that there are evils much
worse than poverty. Ifpersonal regret
have closed the heart of sympathy, he
may be beneicient, but the blessings
of benefcience do not return upon him.

DEATH BY ACCIDENTAL HANGING

DEATH BY ACCIDENTAL HANGING
We learn from the Detroit Adyertiser,
that very promising young man, the
second son Of Henry Barns, senior ed
itor of the Detroit Tribune, lost his
life, by accidental hanging, while prac-
Using in the gymnasium in Detroit on
Friday last. 1t appears that Henry
the young mans name-left his fathers
printing Office between 10 and IL o.
clock A. NJ, in cheerful, happy mood,
and went to the gymnasium, and at ten
minutes past IL o'clock, young man,
having occasion to visit the room, found
him hanging by strap, which was sus-
pended from a round of one of the
ladders. He was Immediately cut
down, but life had fed.
1t was thought that he had put the
strap around his neck, for the purpose
of experimenting, when he lost his foot
hold, and was strangled.
The deceased was sixteen years of
age, of naturally cheerful disposition.
He was a member of the 1st Baptist
church.

A correspondent Of the n. Y.
Courier d Enquirer, says that Senator
Douglas has gone to Mississippi to look
after his plantation, which is said to be
submerged by the spring floods. We
mortals cannot always expect to have
smooth sea. The swapping of the de-
mocracy and his southern plantation at
the same time, must give Douglas some
trouble. His friends of course will
extend to him all their spare sympa-
thy for present and future annoyances.
