THR FIRE.-The fire of Saturday MORN

The FIRE.-The fire of Saturday morn
ing was started in the statle on Pearl street,
belonging to Milton Smith. 1t was discovered
shortly after midnight, and when discovered
had already spread through the stable and
soon caught an adjoining stable and the house
of Mr.. Smith, spreading from that to build
ings on either side, one occupied by Mr..
McClung and the other by Mrs Brown. These
buildings, all frames, situated on Pearl street,
between Jackson and Canada, were burned
down, the flames spreading with such rapidity
that it was with the utmost difficulty part OF
the contents of the two last named houses was
rescued. The stable and dwelling belonging
to Mr.. Smith were unoccupied, save that Mr..
McClung had some furniture stored in the for
mer. They were worth, perhaps, 81, 200, and
not insured
The house occupied by Mrs. Brown was
owned by the heirs of Samuel j. Andrews, of
New York, and probably insured. Mrs. Brown
had an insurance of 800 on her furniture,
which probably covers her loss. The house
occupied by Mr.. McClung, was owned by VIM.
W. johnson, of New Hampshire and insured.
Mr.. McClung lost over $500 worth of furni-
ture, bedding, clothing, &C., and was not in
sured.
There is no doubt but that the stable
was set on fire, and circumstances are known
W hich lead to belief that the incendiary may
be discovered and punished
The weekly pioneer and Democrat., 1864-07-01

A DESERVED FLoGGING.-With the ex-
ception that fictitious names are used, the in
cidents narrated in the following may be taken
as strictly true. They occurred recently
Mrs. Brown, young and good-looking
woman, whose husband was engaged in a re-
spectacle and profitable army business in the
South came to St. Paul for the benefit of the
healthy climate, and that she might have the
protection of her uncle, Mr.. Jones. Mrs
Brown, as an invalid, young and with consd-
cradle claim to beauty as well as intelligence
and pleasing manners, was deserving of the at
tentions paid her by her uncle, a middle aged
man, and younger men boarding at the same
hotel may have envied him his privileges of
relationship. The physicians called to pre-
scribe for the invalid were unsuccessful in re-
lieving the lady, her disease arising from a
arrangement of organism that often battles the
skill of the best Doctors.
Finally Mrs. Brown was astOnished by re-
markable announcement from her uncle, to
the effect that he had consulted a noted if not
learned man of medicine, who had acquainted
him with simple and yet reliable manner of
cure for the aff1iction of his invalid niece. Nat.
urally enough she was interested and curious
to know what could be the method of cure
suggested. The uncle explained, and his ex-
planation having paved the way, offered him
self as locum ten0nS for her absent husband.
Perhaps because she believed that some physi
clan mad given such advice, the niece at first
only positively declined such trial of the cure
as he proposed, without resenting it as an in
famous proposal, but the amorOus uncle per-
sisted in his intent, it is said, even to the use
of moderate force. Then the woman became
alarmed and angered, and, after getting rid of
to come home and protect her, that she had
been grossly insulted here in st. Paul and was
going to Saltwater to remain till he came
back. The next day she went to Saltwater,
leaving her uncle in St. Paul.
In due time Mr.. Brown received his wife's
letter and fastened home to protect her and
punish the person or persons who had insulted
her. Arrived in st. Paul, as he knew nothing
more than that his wife had been insulted, (she
giving no names in her letter. he at once
sought out her uncle and invited him to ride
| over to saltwater with him to see Mrs. B., and
to Saltwater they rode pleasantly together.
But husband and wife had no sooner en-
braced each other on meeting, than she
named her uncle Jones as the party who had
insulted her, and described the circumstances,
In few minutes thereafter Brown had DOS
sessed himself of stout rawh:de and had
locked himself into room with Jones, the
latter seeming to have been SO unsuspicious
that his niece would expose him as to have
been easily trapped. Here Jones received {
sound faggellation, when, Mrs. Brown having
been called in, he made full confession of hi
misdeeds and in token of penitence, Offered
to do anything that might be required of him
The affair was ended by Jones receiving an

a PLEASANT DAY.-Rain in lhe morn
ing, cold and persistent lasting till midday; the
sky clouded all the afternoon and the air full
of moisture; and yet people were rejoicing
over the encouraging weather, and repeating
to each other the remark: "a pleasant day, y
in tone of earnest congratulation. After be
ing hot and uncomfortable for weeks and every
day fearing that the drouth was killing all veg
citation, rain and clouds were welcomed as
pleasant change, indeed. The amount of rain
that fell here Tuesday is believed to be more
than had fallen for any one day of the year
preceding.

A VALUABLE INvENTION.-In the Key
West (Fla.) correspondence of the New York
Herald, of the 18th instant, we find the follow
ing paragraphs:
An interesting experiment, to test certain
apparatus for preventing scale or incrustatiOn
in marine and other boilers, has been in course
of trial for some time in this place, under the
direction of First Engineer Theodore Zeller and
DR.. c. j. Eames, the inventor. The apparatus
was attached to large boiler used for cOndens-
ing purposes, and which was placed under a
pressure of twenty pounds TO the square inch
The water was taken from the harbor, as it is
well known to be the most trying to marine
boilers, in consequence of the immense pro-
portion of salt and lime it holds in solution
In order to fully test the merits of the inven-
ton, the saturatiOn of the water was increased
to three or four times the density of that COM
monty used at sea-
One of the peculiar features of the inven-
ton is simple and effective arrangement for
removing the sulphate and carbonate of lime
and other calcareOus substances held in sOlu-
ton before the water enters the boiler The
result of the series of experiments has been
highly satisfactory. At their termination the
boiler was curefully examined when it was
found perfectly free from incrustation.
Should the invention be found practically
useful, a great benefit will be conferred on the
Cttuoo VI oIcdu udVlSatlon anu Hlanklnu Sener-
ally. DR.. Eames is young man, and it is to
be hoped he will meet the reward due to his
ingenuity and persevering industry.
The invention above mentioned has for many
years been attempted by scientific men. and
the fortunate, successful inventor, if his appa-
ratus proves as useful on general application
as above indicated, will have rendered his
name fcmous among mechanicians and laid
the foundation for handsome fortune. Dr..
c. j. Eames is a twin brother of Richard
Eames, geologist, of this city, and brother of
Henry Eames, geologist, the discoverer of the
Cottonwood coal bed of this State.
