DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT Snow HILL
Heary Loss to The Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany Of Cecil County. The Baltimore Sun of
Monday, contains an account ola fire at Snow
Hill, the county town of Worcester county
from which we take the following extracts -
The storehouse off. B. Robins, occupied
by VIM. ii. Richardson and others, was con-
sumed by fire on Wednesday night, the 14th
instant, with its entire stock of merchandise
and several hundred dollars in money. The
Office of surveyor of the customs cid by Mr.
r., was in the same house, and all the official
records, books, papers and property belonging
to the general government were burnt.
Pocomoke Lodge, No. so, dree mason }
had newly fitted up spacious half in the
second story, with valuable library, and all
the appointments of a Masonic lodge, which
shared the fate of the house, leaving the
brotherhood without the means of holding
other meetings until they supply their loss.
The hatter's shop of W. W. Creekmore, in
the same building, with his stock in trade and
tools; together with the stand and weights
and measures belonging to the State, and
stored in this house, were entirely destroyed
The fire was discovered at 10 O'Clock in the
evening, and but for brisk fall of snow at
the time, and moderate northerly wind. it
would have been general, as there is no engine
or other ordinary means of eXtingulshing fires
in the town. 1t is believed to be the work OF
an incendiary. On the day before Mr.. Rich
ardson had sold to a trader several slaves, and
suspicion attaches to some of their friends on
that account. None of the property in the
building was saved, owing to warning that a
keg Of powder was in the store, the danger
from it deterrng approach to the building
until after it had exploded, when il was too
late to remove anything of value. The loss
of Mr.. Richardson is estimated at $4,000,
partly covered by insurance on the goods, in
the Cecil Mutual Fire Insurance Company, to
the amount of 81, 600. His account books
were not in the store at the time, or his loss
would have been much greater. The building,
owned by J. B. Robins, was of wood, and
valued at SSOO-partly covered by insurance
in the Baltimore Fire Insurance Company, to
the amount of $500. The loss of Mr.. Creek
more is about Sl00-no insurance that of
the Masonic Lodge about $3.50; Of the State
about 300, and Of the general government
about the same.

BARoNs ROrHsCHTLD's VISIT TO AMERICA.
No Rothschi!d that we know Of has visited
this country before, and their doing 50 now
may have significance in history difficult to
calculate. Of course, they do not even herald
their approach or intimate it by any osen.
tatious display. But it is not impossible
that such an arrival may indicate at future
period the gradual transfer of large portions of
their countless wealth to this country. II
such should be the case, it would be pei fcctly
certain that the wealth Of thousands of Others
would follow in the same direction, and our
stocks of every kind would rise, and enter

that the next fifty years would produce an

the oldest number of the Senatorial body

seventy. fourth year of his age. He entered
the Senate as early as 1917 -forty-two years
lthongh he thcr served but two years.
1t is singular fact that Mr.. CIittendtn has
never been a member of the House of Repre-.

TRIAL OF SPEED BETWEEN AN AMERICAN
AND ENGLISH S'Ip.-An interesting Trial OF
speed is now going on between pelhaps the
two fastest clipper ships on the ocean, the
one American. the other Engllsh-namcly
the Sea Serpent, Capt. Whitmore, belongin
to Grinnell, Mnturn & Co., of New York,
and The Fiery Cross, Captain Dallas of Lon
don. They both sailed from London two
weeks ago, for Hong Kong, at the same hour.
1t is stated that large amount of money is
staked in London on the race to China, and
the captains ore authorized to put their ships
to the test. The Fiery Cross lately sailed
from Hong Kong for London, and was follow
ed in eight days by the Sea Serpent. The
English vessel arrived four days in advance of
the Sea Serpent only many bets were made
at Hong-Kong that they would arrive even.

The WEATHER-HEALTH, &C.-On
Saturday afternoon and night, we were visited
by violent storm from the north east. On
Sunday it was somewhat cloudy, though
pleasant Monday was clear and pleasant
with hazy and humid atmosphere. Since
it has been alternately clear and clowdy, with
occasionly few drops Of rain or few ficaks
of snow.
The health of the town and vcuity-we
believe is pretty good; with the usual number
of sc bad colds'' common to this time of the
year. Here are some seasonable and valuable
hints on the subject of gum shoes, from Halrs
Journal Of Health. They are worthy the care
full attention Of all: 1t says that the tend ency
of1ndia-rubbcr shoes is to make the feet cold ,
thus endangering the health; hence they
are useful only in walking when the ground
is muddy or soshy with melting snow. In
these cases they are invaluable. When rub
bers are on the feet persons should keep
moving, and remove them on entering the
house. If the rubbers have been on the feet
for several hours, both shoes and stocking
are necessarily damp by the condensation and
confinement Of the perspirat ion therefore,
all should be removed and the naked feet held
to the fire until they are perfectly warm and
and dry in every part. The same rule holds
good in relation to leather boots and shoes
made water proof. For common purposes
leather boots and shoes are the best, if kept
well BACKED, with several renewals of dry
socks during the day, if the feet perspire

Tile rain of last week made havoc
with the ice, rendering it porous. and raising
the tributaries so much that their muddy
additions were the undcrsuriace and expedited
the vanishing movement.
oh Sunday, the propeller "Whil-
din " attempted to break course through to
Port, but after advancing above the head of
Watsons Island, was compelled to black
out" On Monday, all the ice opposite the
town had departed, and that night the river
was freed. Tuesday, some Of the boys went
duckin and succeeded IN getting it, for it
rained " some" about here on that day. Ono
of the Susquehanna & Baltimore steamers
came up at night and departed before day, as
the wind vccred to the northward and gave a
slight hint Of cold. On the morning of the
list more ice appeared, but not sufficient to
prevent three schooners from working up.-
The singular feature of the first closing this
season vas, not Il simple steamer, vessel, or
canal boat was caught and prevented from
departing.
Tho sermon of Rev. Mr.. Uurn.
on Sunday night last, was one of the gentle

encomiums of the entire delighted audience.
His text was from l Cor. 10. Quit your

large; very many from the country, and the
young men, for whom the sermon was
especially designed, were ont in force. Mr..

ELKTON, DECEMBER 81, 1850.

THE ELECTION OF SpEAKER.-We
have watched with great interest the
contest for Speaker of the House, now in
progress at Washington. Up to the
present time there is nothing to lead to
Il guess at the result. On Tuesday Mr..
Sherman, Republican, of Ohio, received
100 votes out of 223 cast, thus lacking
bat of an election. The highest vote
received by any democrat, was by Mr..
Millson, of Va, who on Wednesday
reached 96 votes, having been nominated
by Mr.. Botelcr (Southern American)
who withdrew as a candidate and together
with several southern members of the
Opposition supported him
1t seemed evident at one time that
Mr.. Gilmer, (American,) of North Car
DINA, could have been elected by the
help of the democrats, but they refused
to support him, and ina caucus denounced
the sKnownothings in round TERMS
Mr.. Gilmer is a true Southern man, the
owner of many slaves, and after their
course towards him, which only shows
the hollowness of their pretentions, their
efforts to induce the Southern Opposition
to support one Of them are impudent and
ridiculous.
Our desire and belief is that the
Americans will never lend their aid to
elect locofoco speaker. We battled
them to their teeth we fought them in
all their animosity and bitterness, and
having elected a goodly little band of
brave fellows from here, southwark, why
should they strike the flag of Opposition
and Americanism, and be swallowed up
in the mire of the locofoco party, lending
their aid to do its work, the very thing
they were elected not to do. Gentlemen
forbear. Touch not one of them-give
us not over to the power and insolcnce
Of this Administration.

IGNUs FATUUs.-During the storm of
Saturday night, as the O'Clock train from
Baltimore, approached the Depot here, large
light was observed coming down the railroad,
in an opposite direction it was supposed to
be another train, and caused some excitement
in apprehension of a collision. On invcstiga-
ton, it was found that it was not train, and
the light soon went out. 1t gave rise to con-
siderable talk, and there have been many con.
lectures as to what it was some of them
slightly tnctnrcd with superstition. 1t was,
without doubt, an Ignus Fafaus; or "Jacli
with the Lantern,' as it IS more commonly
called. This is fame produced by sponta-
ncous combustion, caused by the decay of
animal or vegetable matter. and arises from
low and NASTY lands or grave yards, on dark
damp nights. The superstition that formerly
hung around it has nearly disappeared before
the light Of science. 1t has ceased to lead
persons into woods or ponds, and leave them
there, or assume the shape of some departed
friend, and talk in supernatural voice but
is now known to be poisonous gases. which
escaping from decayng matter, rise into the
air and take fire, and are thus converted into
harmless compounds.
