DoGs.-For the benefit Of persons own
ing or harboring dogs, we would state that
the dog law now in force makes it the duty
of the assessors to take list Of all persons
owning, keeping or harboring any dog or
dogs and the assessors Of this county at
their meeting on last Monday, resolved that
they would DO their duty in this particular
as well as in every case, and would take a
faithful list Of all dogs found by them. The
legislature at its last session so amended
the dog law, that the license for keeping a
dog is now $500 for male dog, and s., 90
for female dog, which is required to be
collected at the time the annual taxes are
collected. Therefore, if there is any per-
sons owning, keeping or harboring any dog
or dogs, on which they do not wish to pay
the license, their best plan will be to get
rid of the animal before the visit Of the ass
esaor.

Mr.. Cornish's new building, which has been
fitted up expressly for it, and is admirably
adapted for that purpose. Both the design
and the completion show that master work
men have been engaged in its arrangement

our post master, has just received a stock
Of stationery, school books, novels, &C.,

FIRE.-We are sorry to learn that the
store of John ". IIeathcock of Linden, in
Guiding the post Office, was totally destroy
ed by fire on Tuesday morning the Esd of
May. On going to the store just after day
light, the inside of the store was found to
be entirely enyeloped in flames, and it was
utterly impossible to gain access to the
building to save single thing shortly af-
ter the fire was discovered, barrel of pow
der and barrel of kerosene exploded,
causing great part of the building 20 fall.
This caused the fire to diminish, and the
house occupied by the family, which was
close by, which would otherwise have been
all burned, was mostly saved, though one
side of it was destroyed. The buildings
were the property of John and William
Heathcock. and were uninsured The
goods were insured for $1,100. The entire
loss is estimated at $1,000. The fire is
supposed to be the work of a burglar and
incendiary, but nothing definite is known.

along the street riding one horse and lead
ing two others, suddenly the bottom ef the
street. fell out, and two of the horses fell

however, they were not materially injured.

over ground formerly used for mining, and
the shafts not having been properly filled
up, caused the street to give way.
