FRE,-The house Of Mr.. - Lamphere
on West street in this village, took fire about
O'Clock this morning, in the attic near the
chimney.
Both Engine Companies were promptly on
the spot and the fire was soon extinguished,
out not until the whole upper part of the
building had been considerably burned.
We have not learned the estimated DAMAGE
to the building. The furniture was all re-
moved to the opposite side of the street. The
lire IS supposed to have been occasioned by
spark from the chimney.

CONCERT FRIDAY EVENING.

The concert given to our citizens on Fri
day evening 2ast, by Prof Ball assisted by
Misses Smart and Gaskill, was an entire sue
cess. i: IS true that the audience on the
occasion was not what it should have been :
but she presence was in the highest de-
gree respectable, and such a. gifted sons and
daughters OF song like to appear before We
have no hesitation in saying that the musical
people of Rutland-such as were present
have never before had 4 superior bill of fare
presented to them.

admission, to look upon the good-naturcd

Miss Smart has fine contralto voice, and
she shows that her natural gifts have been
fairly cultivated. We are inclined to thint,
that with farther study and cultivation she
will make her mark among the first vocaIists
OF New England.
Miss Gaskill, is better known among US,
and she evidently, though suffering from
hoarseness, more than fulfilled the highest
expectations of her friends. We have occa-

arrangement" of the people, &c, &c. Now
we had always regarded our Vermont friend,
Mr.. Douglas, as a man of some political gump-
ton, and we had supposed that while attend
ing to politics he had kept up his historical
reading to a respectable point But how is it
that he should make this wonderful blunder !?
Has he ever read English history or that of
Switzerland? If he had it strikes us that he
would not have made the statement which he
did in his late speech In regard to the APP
plicahon which Mr.. Douglas makes, we have
only to say that South Carolina and the
South generally will hereafter stand as bet
ter allies to the North and the United States
government than they have ever stood be-
fore. Let us wait and see.
