vas Immediately given, and the people Of the

this city, and number Of the Catholics and
Others repaired to the scene Of the disaster,

Swan . once recognized the horse and buggy
- thoee used BY Nj. Magbe, and after consid-
ssaols EFFORT the buggy and harness we're taken
ont 10 damaged condition. On Friday some
two hundred persons yere engaged 10 search
ing for the body Of Mr.. Magne, but without
success. His trunk, containing some articles Of
clothing, was 6shed out Of the creek, but no
trace Of the body discovered. II WAS intended
% continue the search, but as the waters are
very high and the current Of the creek swift,
there is but eight hope that his remains will be
found; zeleast not until the waters abate very
considerably.
Mr.. Aagne was gentemAnly looking man,
not more than thirty years Of age-a Canadian
BY birth, and has resided here but shors time.
We learn that cousin Of his resides At Musca-
tine. This distressing aifsir has cast great
gloom over his Pensioners here, and his untime-
" end is generally lamented.
4 vague suspicion that be was foully dealt
with by some one, seems to have gained eur
rency, q he had considerable money and
valuable gold watch about his person; but We
have no idea that there is any foundation for
the rumor. Time will more fully develope the
falsity Of these terrible suspicious. Al this |
writing, Saturday EVENING" We have no fur
Their information on the subject.
I. S.-Since writing the foregoing, the fol- |
lowing letter from correspondent has been re- |
=, r.,. Marsh.ll, July 2. 1859.
After an apparently thorough search from
Thursday midday until the present time, Satur-
day, o'clock pm, the body Of the Catholic
Priest vas found floating in the creek, abo1t
one ariUa half miles below where he drove 10,
1sn ne been e.. in .ni he water hour
An inquest was held by A. w. Mason, Esq,
and the verdict Of the Jury was Accidental
drowning" About twelve dollars in money was
found on his person; no other article Of value,
although it vas said he had fine gold watch;
The vase Wafer Cup and other articles including
wardrobe Of Catholic Priest, were found in
ne trunk. and | presume we're given over to
he Priest that arrived from Richmond about
ne time the body was found, who also at one
word settled the contention ~ to where he
mould be buried, by ordering the burial ct
Richmond, as / understand.
FIRr.-About two o'clock this morning, when
most Of our citizens we're deeply locked in
Humber, after the fatigues incident to q Jealous
celebration Of the FOURTH fire broke out
n the three story brick building on Msln street,
occupied on the 6rst floor BY Messrs. W. u.
Peabody Co, as q liquor and tobacco store, Il
md on the third b. the family Of Mr.. Peabody
ls residence. When FIRST discovered, the FIRE
lad apparently just originated, near the center
# the store on the first floor. Samuel Ross,
Esq, entered the building first BY breaking in
he door, and at that time could have extin-
,uished the flames had there been half dozen
buckets Of wafer at hand, but it could not be
obtained. The fire was Immediately communi-
ated TO the liquor, andshen rapidly throughout
he first story and thence TO the eatire building
dr. Peab0dy's family were awakened as soan as
'ossble. and escaped from the building with
'ery litsie Of their apparel
The several Fire Companies were promptly
pom the ground and did all that vas possible
oward saving the building and contents, but
we're unable to do more than protect other
buildings. The stock in Mr.. Peabodys 4 Co.'S
tore was nearly entirely destroyed, and the
urni.ure in Mr.. P.'s dwelling. An adjoining
tory and half brick building, owned and oc.
upied by Jean Bourgeois as . residence and
onfectionary store, was also consumed, con
iderable portion Of the contests being saved.
Alderman McNamaras grocery mock in an
djoiniog building on the norsh, was injured
considerably By water and removal, bus the
uilding wss saved. "a
