Mr.. Arnim and valued at S14OO We are
informed by Mr.. A. that there had been
ne fire IN the building during the day and
that no one had been there at work. The
fire therefore must have been the work of
an incendiary. The building was worth
some three or four hundred dollars and
not insured. Mr.. Arnim had an insurance

says:
Some papers before the session began
predicted that great improvene nt, in

the great national trial through which we
are passing, rendering economy and zeal
in the public service more important than
ever before in the history Of the State, the
present body seems less inclined to work
than any of its predecessors. We hoped
for short and economical session: the
prospect now is that it will be long and ex-
