THE POSTMASTER at New York says it was
never the intention the Government to repu,
date single uncancelled postage stamp, and
that plan is now nearly mstured, by which all
soiled postage stamps viii be redeemed in tn
new small currency. This will be very accept
able, but if any person can give any good rea-
son why.a stamp, which is redeemable in cur
rency, should not be accepted on letters, we
should be glad to hear what it is.

The Democratic NOminatiOns'-Ihe De-
mocratic Convention held yesterday, at Agricul-

Of course this is called Union ticket, and the
nominees are all Republicans but two. we are
informed that but one Republican delegate attend

nominees had anything to do with, or any sympa

The First FrOst.-We saw the first frost OF
the season on Friday morning last. We have
been highly favored in regard to the weather, the
latter part Of the summer The Spring was cold
and backward, and corn, potatoes ands such
crops were backward An early fall frost would
have done much damage TO corn, buckwheat anc
potatoes, but the warm weather continued unln
terrupted until they were all ripe and mostly har
vested. The consequence is corn is very goot
crop, and many of our farmers have assured u
that buekwheat was never better, either as t.
quality or to quantity.

Fire About half past four, Tuesday mOrnln Z
last, our citizens were awakened by the cry of
Fire 1t was promptly responded to by citizens and
fremen, and they were soon on the ground. The
fire was found to be in the City Hotel barn, which
had nearly burned down before the fire was dis
covered From this it spread to several other small
barns and out houses. BY the timely exertions of
citizens and iremen, the City Hotel was sabed.-
1t was on fire several times, but Immediately exS
tinguished.
MIR. Halliday of the City Hotel was the princis
pal sufferer. He had three horses in the barn
which were JAIL burned He lost also cow and
donkey. The omnibus he succeeded in saving
There was also span of horses belonging to a
farmer in the barn, one of which escaped. Ever>
ything was removed from the hotel, and furniture
and household goods were more or less damaged
in the removal.
A barn belonging to Jabob Engel was burned
together with a quantity of hay and provender.-
We have net heard an estimate of the loss.
The saving of the City Hotel was almost prov
idential for the wind was almost directly against
it, and the ire.was raging in close proximity
Had it burned. the fire must have crossed Market
street. and in that case the entire block opposite
would have gone. Much credit is due 10 both
fyenen and citizens for their successful exertions
The origin fthe fire as usual, is amystery.
The general opinion seems to be that it was the
act of an incindiary. The fire broke out in the
loft Of the barn where nobody had been,snd where
it could not have smouldered all night until hal
past four in the morning.
