ested in the sabbath school celebration on the
approaching fourth of July, had an adjourned
meeting at the common council room, last eve
ming, IL. S. Washburn, Esq, in the chair and
Rev. 5. Souther, secretary. After remarks
from Messrs. Tolman, Stowe, Mecomey and
others, showing how much depends upon the
action of the sabbath schools in making the
proposed celebration effective, it was voted to
unite all the schools of the city to Join
therein, and to appear as far as practi-
cable with floral and other decorations, in
the procession. All children, not members of
any sabbath school, were invited to join with
such school as they might prefer, or to appear
by themselves under proper charge. The re-
ports made by the several superintendent of
the disposition manifested by the members Of
their respective schools, exhibited a state of
feeling highly favorable to general or unani
nous cooperation in the proposed celebration.
Messrs Souther, Benehey, Higginson, Mecor-
ney, and Murray, were chosen general COM
mittee of arrangements.
Henry S. Washburn, Esq, was chosen chief
marshal of the sabbath schoohprocession, with
such aids as he may appoint 1t was voted to

FIRES IN FITCHBURG,-On Friday after
noon, 22d inst, fire was discovered in the
picker room of George Blackburn & Co.'s
duck mill in South Fitchburg, and although
the room was full Of loose cotton, by the
prompt use Of the force pump, by which the
room was flooded, the fire was Immediately
put out, and but little damage was done-say
from $500 to $500. The fire was supposed to
have originated from some hard substance
passing through the lapper with the cotton.
On Saturday night, the 23d inst, about II
o'clock, fire was discovered in the dry house
the Haywood Chair Company The watch
man upon the premises Immediately gave the
alarm, and very soon the engine company of
the Center Village was pouring streams of
water upon the fire The rain in the evening,
and the perfect stiffness of the atmosphere,
were in their favor, and they soon had it I'M
der their control. The building that was on
fire, though small, was only about twelve feet
from their long pant and packing shop, and
only very short distance from their work
shop, which is connected with the Putnam
Machine Company's large works. This fire
originated from the boiler. Loss about $500.

FIRE.-List night, little past eleven
o'clock, fire broke out in the charcoal shed
on Manchester street in this city, formerly
owned by Drury & Williams, but now own
ed by j. w. Hooper of Orange, N. H., Mr..
Williams being his agent, as a charcoal dealer,
charcoal in the building, one half of it having
been put in on Monday. The shed was en-
tirely burnt, but the adjoining buildings on
each side, by the timely and energetic efforts
of the firemen, were saved, without es-
sential damage. But small portion of the
coal was burnt, although it was thoroughly
drenched with water. a coal wagon, i'll the
shed, was con sumed. Fire was also commu.
nicated to some freight cars filled with coal,
standing upon the railroad track close by, but
they were removed before much damage had
been done. 1t is thought the fire must have
been purposely set, as it was first discovered
in portion of the building where there was
no coal The loss to Mr.. Hooper is probably
not over $500 or $500, on which he had partial
insurance.

THE ADDITIONAL REsoLvE.-Just before
the final adjournment of the Douglas section
of the Baltimore convention, Mr.. Wicklifle OF
Louisiana offered the following, as necessary
to enable Douglas to carry that state =
Resolved, That it is in accordance with. the
Cincinnati platform, that during the existence
OF territorial governments, the measure Of re-
striction, whatever it may be, imposed by the
federal constitution on the power Of the terri.
torial legislature over the subject of the do
nestle relations as the same has been or shall
hereafter be finally determined by the supreme
court OF the United States, should be respected
by all good citizens and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch of the gen
eral government.
Mr.. Paine of Ohio called for the previous
question, and this resolve was adopted without
objection. 1t endorses the infamy usually
known as the "Dred Scott decsion," and
pledges "every branch" of the federal govern
ment to the enforcement Of it. Some of the
northwestern delegates, when they sit down at
home and read over this resolve deliberately
must feel rather foolish, and perhaps a little
profane towards their Louisiana associates.

tily jumped to the conclusion that the division of
the democratic strength between the two candi
dates is the certain warrant for the success Of
Lincoln, the republican nominee. Such may
be the result, but it is by no means inevitable,

ing upon victory, they deceive themselves
with vain and deIusive hope"
