GREAT FIRE IN RurLANp.-By an extra
from the Rutland Herald, We learn that the
Foundry and Machine Shop in that place
were burned about IL O'Clock, at night on
the ID. Nearly all the contents Of the build
ings were burned, as they were both COM
pletely enveloped in flames before the engine
could obtain water. Tho loss is estimated
atS3O, 900. The Brandon Iron and Car-Wheel
Company owned tho real estate, and part Of
the machinery, which was partly insured !;
the tools, stock &C., belonged to Bowman Il
Mansfield, who have no insurance.
1t is thought that spark had lodged in
the roof the day before, as every thing ap-
peared safe when the watchman went around
at 10 o'clock.

Tho impression comes very often upon people
who are converted. that they great deal
more sinful than they were beforehand that comes
from two things First, they oftentimcs.
remember when I was hoy, l undertook to
ride horse to the brook drink, aud as his trot
WAS rather hard to me, who was not much accus-
toned to riding, put him on the full gallop and
a, long as that went on, rode like bird. But
when we came towards the brook and | wanted to
check him up, he still wanted to go on, and there
ensued conflict between us, which ended in the
middle OF the brock far l concerned-
and SO when men have bccn giving to any fashion
its full course and then begin to check it, it often
times breaks out into worse dovelopement than
before, by reason of the restraint. And secondly,
when men are really converted, thcy grow more
sensitive to sin, and the same thing will seem a
great deal worse
