Destructive Fire in New York-Eive Men
Burned 20 Death.

The other morning at the hour of two, a
fire broke out in the dwelling-house of the
extensive farm of Hon. A. B. Conger, in
Clarkstown, and before the flames could be
subdued il was totally destroyed. The
dwelling house was occupied as a steward s
lodge, and tenanted by Thomas Patterson
and family, beside several farm hands, in all
fifteen persons. Thomas Long, farm hand
and an inmate Of the house, first discovered
the fire, after it had got under good headway.
He Immediately gave the alarm and then
rushed into several of the rooms of the
burning house to endeavor to arouse and save
the inmates, but in his heroic conduct he lost
his life.
Thomas Patterson, the steward Of the farm,
when the alarm was given, rushed out Of the
house, but went back Immediately, frantic
with fright, and threw his child, two years
old, out of the window. He then went into
the room where his wife lay, and succeeded
in getting her safely out of the house. He
then went back again into the house to save
some valuables, but was overcome by the
dense smoke and fell to the floor but he
finally succeeded in escaping death, through
the assistance of d female who was re-
treating from the flames. OF the fifteen
persons in the building at the time of the
| breaking out of the fire but ten escaped
Among those that were burned to death are
| John Blackhurst Thomas Long and three
other farm hands, whose names we could not
ascertain. The total loss on the building and
outhouses is about $l8,0 900.

The british Rock Trade.

From recent article by VIM. Chambers,
of Edinburg, we gather the following inter
estng particulars of the British book trade
He says:
In reckoning the number of new works
issued from the pres annually, we may take
the number of entries of distinct books vol
umes, Sheets maps, &c, lodged by publishers
at the British museum, in terms of the copy
right act. The following is an abstract of
the return for l856-Books complete works,
5507; consisting of volumes, in process of
publication, 5,642; parts, l5 767; single sheets,
| 236 total, 81, GAS. Music complete works
volumes and pieces, 1896. Maps in sheets
| 3,07l aliases, whole or in parts, % total
| 3,O96-number was l9,57s. The difference
shows the rise since that period. In 1856
according to the tables of the Board of Trade
the imports Of books into the United King
dom amounted to 5, III cwts., of which 2,22t
cwts. were from France, and 709 cwts. from
| the United States. The exports in hundred
weight were as follows: Russia, 20; Hanover
1853; Hanse Towns, 637 Holland, ,553; France
| GO Turkey, BOA Egypt 1904 United
States, 1877, Chilli, III; Malta, 267; Soutl
Africa, s26; Mauritius, Il; East Indies
l2,443; Australia, 6535; British America
1887; West Indies, 6l7; all other States
1922; total, 3O,094 cwts; the value of which
at ETA per cwt., is about f425,00 It i
seen that the exports are five-fold more thar
we import from all countries, and to tht
| United States double as much. A systeu
I of more free and untaxed import of foreign
printed English works would in variou
ways, introduce changes into the book trade
aud have a tendency to alter some of it
traditional usages.

Particulars of the Fires in the Jersey
PInea-M Wide Extent of Their Destruction.

Particulars of the Fires in the Jersey
PInes-Wide Extent of Their Destruction.
For about ten days serious fires have been
burning in the pine forests of New Jersey
and many square miles of timber have been
burned over In some instances dwellings
have shared the fate of the woods, and their
occupants have been compelled to fly for their
lives. There are no less than four Of these
fires burning, the most serious one OF which
appears to be ten or fifteen miles southwest
from the Weymouth Station, on the line Of
the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. Between
this point and some distance below Egg Har-
Dor City, the flames have extended, and south
of the last-named place there seems TO be a
semi-circle of burning woods. East of Egg
Harbor City the fire has come up to the line
of the railroad and the ruins of trees are
smoldering for some distance along the
track.
The travel on the road has not been inter
fered with by the fires, and il is not probable
that 1t will be impeded. The fires have origi-
mated from the coalings and sparks from the
locomotives. There is no possibility of the
flames being extinguished until sufficient rain
falls to accomplish it. '
At Atlantic City the fires assume formi-
dable appearance. The cloud of smoke,
reaching line many miles in extent arises
to such height as to spread over the western
heavens and beyond the zenith, and it gives
the sun, during the last half of the day, a
murky appearance. The extent of the fires
may be Judged from the fact that the smoke
| so plainly visible at Atlantic arises some
twenty miles distant from there. The Gin
| ders from burning brush have been carried
| by the wind clear to the sea, and the banks
| of the inlet at Atlantic are lined with black
| cneG rubbish from the fires. The dry weather
| has rendered the woods very combustible.

A New JERSEY DoGBERRY.-Mr. Bum, who
disappeared so mysteriously from New Jer-
sey, to subsequently turn upin Florida, lately
wrote to the Jersey City. Recorder that he
was slowly improving in health, and hoped
soon to visit that city, at the same time re-
questing the Recorder to tell him if there was
any prospect of ferreting out his kidnappers.
The Justice Immediately replied that no steps
could be taken in the matter until he came
there, and, furthermore, that his bag OF
clothing, found on Paterson Dock, could only
be delivered to him in person, and upon his
paying a bill of $40, for expenses incurred in
iirirg cannon and dragging the river for the
to be sunk therein In fact, the Jersey Just
ice seems greatly incensed against Mr.. Bum
for not having been drowned, as he ought to
have been, to justify all the trouble and ex-
pense incurred on his account. If Mr.. Bum
is not done brown before he RECEIVERS his
clothing, then are there no Dogberries in
JERSEY ,.1 ....... .rn.

DECISION OF AN IMPoRTANT SUIT IN THE
,SoUrHAAn important suit has lately been
decided in Mississippi involving large
amount Of property. In the spring of 1858,
Robert L. Mathews, of Warren County, Miss,
died, and by his will left the whole of his
estate, some IL 900 acres of land, and over
100 negroes to be sold by his executor and
the proceeds paid to his two mulatto children
(whom he had attempted to set free), and in
the event they did not, or could not take the
property, then leaving the whole of it to the
Louisiana State Bank of New Orleans. This
will was contested by the heirs of Richard
Mathews) his nephews and nieces), and the
WILL or so much of it as thus disposes of the
property, has been declared null and void

NOVEL AND INGENIOUS METHOD OF SAYING
LEAKY VEssEL.-The bark PdLlds, of Cries.
wald Capt. Henry Wandt, arrived at New
port, R. l., Wednesday, from Newcastle,
England, for Providence, with coal. The
captain reports that when about one week
from port she sprdng leak, which kept
them at the pumps continually-they could
not leave them for more than four minutes
at time. The captain having ascertained
the leak to be some where under the port
quarter, ground up all the barley and grain
he had ON board and placed this in a pocket
Gnade of canvass, which, attached to u pole.
he ran under the vessels bottom, as near as he
could ascertain to the place where the leak
was; this was, by the force of the water
passing through the opening, drawn into.it,
which stopped the leak for eleven days,
giving the crew rest, and allowing the bark
to proceed on her voyage. After this, in
heavy weather, the ships straining caused
her again to leak; they kept ut the pumps
continually, until they arrived at Newport,
at which time she had thirty-three inches OF
water in her. The Captain came on shore
and procured barrel of saw-dust, with
which he again stopped the leak in the same
manner as with the ground barley, and
pumped the water from the bark in short
time. .. ...-. III .L .aDu"
