LOCAL MATTERS,

Fire and Loss Of Life.-About O'Clock YES.
tarday morning, the residence of Mr.. william
Beers, on Broad street, near Mayo, was dis
covered to be on IRE. and the alarm being
given, the neighbors f1ocked to the scene to aid
the family in their escape, and to save the fur
niture from destruction. When the fremen
arrived with their machines, the flames were
bursting through the roof Of the house and
the destruction of the building seemed nevi-
table, but a few well directed streams Of water
extingushed it, and saved the building, with
the loss of the roof.
The fire originated acciden tally. and was
named EIvira, owned by DanI Truehart who
left burning car die in her room About 10
o'clock the family retired for the night, Eivira
gong 10 her room IN the garrett, and, against
once before set the house on fire by falling
asleep while the candle was burningO taking
a lighted candle with her and putting 1t on
the floor or table. In the garret are three
hambers, one occupied by daughter Of Mr..
b, another by two Of his sons, and a third by
Elvira, the servant. About 2 O'Clock, Elvira
awoke, nearly sufocated with smoke, and
nnding her room on fire, gave the alarm, and
rushing to the room Of the lady adjoining,
aroused her She next ran 10 the room of the
Masters Beers and finding that they had left
IT. went in, and probably in her fright and
confusion locked the door on the inside, where
she remained until sufocated by the smoke
As soon as Mr.. Beers missed the servant, he
fastened to the garret, and in his effort to
rescue her, had his hair singed. His sons also
returned to the door of their room and tried
to force 1t, but were driven back by the dense
volumes of smoke that nearly stified theu-
When the tremen arrived, and it became
known that the servant girl was in danger of
burning, they made search for and found her
body, but life was extinct.
Mr.. Beers loss is fully covered by insurance
In the Fire aud Marine office II will not, in
all probability, exceed $1,000, if it reaches
that amount.

Bradbury, of the eminent firm Of Bradbury
Evans, of London, prin ters and proprietors of
Punch and other well known publications,
has recently committed suicide in a remarKa-
bic manner. He went TO Cremorne Garde ms
and spent the evening in the amusements of
that celebra ted place. Towards the close of
the entertainment, he procured silver for a ten
pound note. and going to the front of the
dancing platform, scattered it amongst the
crowd. He then called for glass of grog, and
having emptied into it phial of prussic acid,
made speech, proposed the health of the COM
pany, drank off his glass, and, alas fell dead
in the midst of that scene of wild riot and
confusion. He was young man of great
ability and promise, and very recently was
presen ted with a gold watch by the Emperor
Of the French, in acknowledgment of the value
of an improvement he had made in printing.

Refuse Population from other Cities.-Persons
from other places who adventure from home
to the South. in hopes OF getting along better,
sometimes find themselves mistaken, either
owing to misfortune or Incidence, or both
com bined. When such is the case the Mayors
of the different southern cities are applied 10
by numbers of used-up cases for means to
leave. We do not know the regulations in
other cities, but in Richmond the Mayor has NO
privy purse to alleviate the necessities, either
real or supposed, of those who have drawn
blanks in lites lottery. We have known per-
sons TO be sent away at the public expense, but
when this has been done the ruling considera-
tion has been that the room of the applicant
was better than nis company. 1t is the rule
to send paupers back to the place whence they
came, but many of the persons who apply to
the Mayor here, would feel insulted if called
by that name.

LYNCH LAW AT Pixies PKAK-Midnight
Executions by the Regulators.-Early in Sep
tember, John Shear, pioneer miner of Dem
yer City. was called out of his bed by regula-
tors and hanged. He came to Pixies Peak in
April, 1859, a fugitive from justice. He had
fed from the town of Newaggo, in the State of
Michigan where he had been arraigned on
the charges of seduction, bgamy and forgery.
Shortly after his arrival at the Peak he was
arrested and tried for theft. Subseq uently he
was often accused of participation in horse
and cattle stealings, but want of evidence and
the absence OF all laws protected him from
punishment. Recently, however, a horse
thief, caught in fagranre delicto, made some
disclosures, which finally enabled those who
had taken the vindication of justice into their
hands to fasten his guilt upon him, and hence
the tragic end of his career. Shear is said to
have left two wives and two children in the
States

The Ashland Races are to commence on Tues.
day next, and will continue for the remainder
of the week. Proprietor Taylor has had
every thing put in apple-pie order for the

the only course in Virginia where proper ac-
dies, and it must be gratifying to see how
much the fair beings appreciate what has
been done, and how promptly they accept the
invitations TO be present at each meeting Be-
sides the stakes and purses TO be run for, the
