DISASTROUS FIRE-Two CONCORD COACHES
AND TEN HORSES BURNT.-Tuesday night at
eleven o'clock, the Stage Company's sta.
bic in rear of the Winslow House, st. An
thony, was discovered to be on fire. So
rapid was the progress of the flames that
nothing could be saved. The building, a
large wooden one, forty-ive feet by sixty
feet, two stories in height. Ten horses, two
stages, two sets OF coach harness, one
sett double do, one single do, one water
wagon, one express do, one buggy, one cut
ter, seven huodred bushels oats, and many
fixtures usual to we'll provided stables.
Loss to the Stage Company estimated five
thousand dollars. A. S. w. Farnham lost
a large number of sleighs, &c.
The fire was discovered by one of the
Stage Companys Agents, S. Burse, who
was sleeping in the Express Office, and has,
tened to the stable, bursted opened the door
and attempted to loose the horses, and after
succeeding in cutting one halter, be was so
stifed with the smoke, that be had great
difficulty in saving bis life.
There had been no person in the stable
alter eight O'Clock. The fire, when first
discovered, was confined to the hay loft.
This fact goes far to show that it was ma
liciously fired by some miscreant in human
shape. What the motive was that instiga.
ted this diabolical act is unknown. vigilant
efforts will be instituted to ferret out the
rascal.
1t was a horrible sight to witness the
frightful struggle of the horses literally
roasting to death.
The building was owned by the Estes
Brothers-not insured. Their loss is about
eight hundred dollars. Es,,t ... ..... o..
ELECTION passed off quietly. The whole
Republican ticket is elected by majortties
ranging from five hundred to twelve hum

of cutting was done on the Register of
Deeds and sheriff. The Republican candi.
dates are elected by FIVE hundred majority.

The Telegraph Again.

We are compelled to 60 to press this
morning, as we did yesterday morning, with
out any telegraphic dispatches, other than
those received by citizens, that have been
made public. Remembering that the line
was built in part by the contributions of our
leading business men, there is general
feeling Of indignation that the election news
should have been kept, because the press
did not see fit to submit to what they hon.
estly deemed an extortion.-Dauy, 9Th.

party attitude as Republican Railroad.
