Buying CotAiag from Solders.-A case
came before Commissioner VIM F. Watson
yesterday, which will prove to be of some
Importance, as it involves the right of any
person to buy from soldier clothing which
has been given him by the G. 8. Govern
ment. Mr.. William II. Martin, of Orange
county, was arraigned on the charge of in
ducing a soldier to sell him pair of shoes
which he had drawn, giving him for them
$40 In money and two plugs of tobacco
The evidence showed that the shoes which
had been given the soldier In question were
entirely too small and IL wac i.- f,~--i-i- s. .
him to aat them on. He had endeavored to
trade t,s =. a for pair that would fit. but
was unable to do 30, and therefore offered
them for sale to the accused, from whom he
received iu exchange $40 In Confederate
money and two plugs Of tobacco. Several
neighbors Of the prisoner were sworn as to
his standing in the community, all of whom
gave him an irreproacbable character. A.
the conclusion Of the evidence, the Com.
missioner consulted number Of legal au-
thorities relating to such cases, the reeult OF
which research was to convince him that
Martin should be sent on for further trial be
fore Judge Haiyburton. The accused was
admitted to bail for his appearance on the
10th day of March next.

FIRE IN ToLEDo.-A fire broke out in the
MeKenster House, Toledo, about two o'clock
Wednesday morning, almost entirely con-
suming the building and the furniture in
it. About one-fourth of the furniture was
removed in damaged condition, but, as
there was no sufficient police force present,
a large amount of it was stolen. The hotel
property was owned by Mrs. Griffith, of
Cleveland, and probably covered by insure
ance. Messrs. MeKenster d Croft were the
lessees. They had an insurance on the fur
niture of $1,000, but it is feared that neg,
leet in renewing a policy will reduce the
insurance to 81 900. They estimate their
loss at $4,000. These gentlemen leased
this hotel something over year ago, ek-
pended about 81, 800 in making improve
ments, and were enjoying alarge patronage.

CoxSEAuT IfENs.-We find the following
items in the Conneaut Reporter:
The dwelling house of Mr.. David Van
eiyhe, Of Kingsville, was burned on Thurs
day night, together with all the contents Of
the cellar and upper rooms, the property
below being about all saved, though IN a
damaged condition, of course. We have
not learned the particulars, but are told by
one somewhat acquainted with the prem
ises, that the house was worth some $500,
and that there was probably no insurance.
Mr.. Baker, the person assaultediby young
Meacham, near Jefferson, some days ago,
died on the I'd inst. As near as we can
learn, young Meacham had had some sort
of n quarrel with Bakers boys previously,
and on the day ofassault went to deceased's
house entered the door yard and commenced
throwing stones at the boys. Mr. 3. was in
the house, lying upon bed, and got up
and ordered Meacham to desist and go about
his business, at the same time commanding
him to leave the premises. He did so, but
continued to stone the boys from the out
side, and to use insulting language, and
even dared B. to come into the rOad. Ba-
