Mr.. PENNINGTON. Hon. William
Pennington, who succeeds Mr.. Sher-
man as the Republican candidate for
Speaker of the House, was formerly
Governor of New Jersey, chosen by the
Wings. He represents the Fifth dis
trict of New jersey and was chosen
over Wortendyke, Lecompton Demo
crat, by a generalunion ofthe opposition
elements. Though the Republican
party has not been formally established
in New Jersey, Governor Pennington
has always been considered one of the
most reliable Republican members in
the House, although man of mode
rate views and disposition. Like Mr..
Dayton and other prominent New
Jersey opponents of Democracy, Gov
ernor Pennington is understood to as
ign much prominence to the questions
of a protective tariff among the issues
of the day. We believe he has made
but single speech during the present
session, and that was a concise and
able appeal in behalf of the adoption
of the plurality rule No man in the
House is more respected for purity of
character and soundness of judgment
than Governor Pennington and
should he be chosen to the Speakers
chair, although it may be hard for
many to give up Mr.. Sherman after
supporting him so long and so well,
we have no doubt that the interests of
the country and of the Republican par
ty will be furthered by the event.

GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK.-Last
Thursday evening, Feb. 2, between I
and o'clock, fire broke out in the
basementof double six story tenement
house, No. l42 Elm street. The fire
originated in bakery, and the flames
shot up the stairway with great rapid
ity and extended to the upper floors,
occupied by about twenty families. -
The moment the alarm was given the
scene of confusion that ensued through
out the building was of the most heart
rending character. The stairway was
burned away, and of course all chance
of escape was cut off in that quarter
Men, women, and children could be
seen by the spectators on the sidewalk,
clustered at the windows, screaming
for assistance and wringing their hands
in the agony of despair, and some OF
them mustered courage enough to jump
from the windows, and escaped with
slight injuries.
The fire bells quickly gave the alarm
for the Fifth District, and the fremen
repaired to the spot. Ladders were
quickly elevated to the windows, but
the largest ladders could not reach
above the fourth floor The iremen
rescued some of the occupants, but
there was no hope of saving the poor
creatures on the two upper stories,
and it is supposed they all persisted.
The iremen say that as they stood on
the ladders they could see many women
and children lying PROSTATE on the
floor, but surrounded by the flames and
rendering it impossible to attempt to
save them.
The burning building extended four
stories above any of the surrounding
buildings, and it appeared instant

upper floors to attempt to save them.

great many of them had clustered.
1t is said that the baker in the base

When the fire had gained the upper
stories the scene was APPALLING in the
extreme. Myriads of sparks shot uI
into the air, eclipsing any artificial ex.
hibition of fireworks, the shouts of the
firemen, the groans and shrieks of the
doomed creatures in the building, and
the cracking of the flames were enough
to make the stoutest heart quake with
fear The fremen worked nobly, but

we never had a better prospect for an abund-
ant yield. The fruit so far is uninjured,

have left from TIL. severe winters in former
years-nre safe The crop of apples will
