BY telegram from Braitleboro, says
Walton's Journal of Monday, we learn
that'a fire broke out in the extensive
buildings of the Vermont Insane Asylum
on Sunday morning about 3 o'clock
The wind blew severe gale from the
north. The two large wings running
west were entirely consumed, also the
centre building. The east wings were
saved, although somewhat damaged. BY
the mastery management Of its noble su-
perintendent, w. II. Rockwell, all the
patients we're saved. The loss cannot
be stated.
MONEY LosT.-On the 11th instant,
says the Newsdealer, Peter Glougie, OF
johnson, who had been in company with
III. r.. Fowler in the shoe making bust
ness, but had recently sold out, and had
as he says in his wallet $406, had the
misfortune to lose it from his pocket. A
few days after, we learn, he found the
wallet minus the money. Some one
more avaricious than wise has no doubt
appropriated the money, and about this
time feels wonderfully relieved in his fl
nances, though he must feel awfully op-
pressed in conscience.

on Sunday, the 23d ul;., an Irish woman
having attended church with her two

evening last, as Capt. Drew of the Tele-
graph was returning from a lecture at
West Fairlee, he was met by secession
sympatbizer, who told him that all he had
said about the Southerners being cruel to
