Firo-Three Horses Burned

On las, Sunday morning about fvC
O'Clock the stable of J. w. MILLER, E.q.
was entirely consumed by fire, which l.
gencra.iy supposed TO DC the wori, Of al
incendory. Ga Tucsiuy night at min,
O'Clock our citizens were az IN aroused
by the cry ol fire occssiohed by the burr.
ing Of u stable across the alley from the
above. The fee engines were promptly
on hand, but the fire had got too much
headway to save the building. In thi'
latter stable were four horses belonging
TO Mr.. SHOOK and CLAY KUHN, Esq, oui
clever Deputy Postmaster. Owing L
the rapidly with which the flames spread
three of the best horses persisted in tho
FIRE, and the other was got out after being
considerably singed. Il was very PHI
ful sight to sec the hurses writhing il
agony amid the cracking timbers, bu
no human agency could possibly rescue
them from their fatal situauon. Mr.
KUHN narrowly escaped a similar fate il
getting tho one horse out.
This is the third stable which has beer
burned in the above vicinity within th'
last three weeks, and is undoubtedly thu
work Of an incendiary. Such work car
not certainly 20 on much longer wthou
the rascal or rascals being caught.

On Monday last, a man, whose name
we have been unable to learn, was run
over by team and wagon. 1t appears
shat two persons had the control of the
toam; the one in the wagon wanted to
leave town, while the other did net wish
TO do so; the former whipped up the team
and the latter grabbing at the tires to
prevent them moving, was caught under
the wheel and passed over by the wagon
Some INJURY was doae to him, but more

from him. Ii the parties had all been

THE OLD CONSTITUTION.

y short time ago we overheard q
young. sprightly looking democrat,
conyersiug with an elderly gentleman
of the same party predictions, and
among other things he said lie was
isn favor of the old Constitution of
the United States, but was opposed
to the new one; and, said he, "any
man who is in favor OF il is traitor
20 his country" The old man nodded
his assent to this, and looked wise.
Now here is specimen of downright
ignorance and dishonesty. He was
probably reader of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, which is continually talk
my about the old Constitution; or if
not reader of that paper, he had
heard some dishonest stump-speaker
talking IN this way until he supposed
the present Administration had de
stroyed the old Constitution of the
United States and adopted 4 new one.
