tits said that a Young mar at Natchez, named
Judah Mannheim, who went to that city from
Richmond, Va, suddenly finds himself the
owner ofhat million. A letter from Natchez
saws: sHe came here without cent Of money
about one month ago. It appears that during
the war he did great many favors for an old

has been taken sick and died, and in his will
he leaves this young man, Mannheim, fortune
Of $500, 900. The young man leaves here In a

FIRs.-Au old building on Water street
at the foot Of College street, owned by Law
renee Barnes, and occupied by Wm. Badger,
took FIRE on Sunday morning about 10
O'Clock Ii was bad day for a FIRE, the
wind blowing a stiff gale from the north
west, and fIemen and citizens hurried to the
spot The Ethan Allen and Boxer compa-
MES were speedily at work, the former being
stationed at the lake and playing into the
box Of the Boxer, which took its post near
the FIRE, and played directly on the flames
A usual when there is water plenty, our
fremen sOon got the upper hand, and in less
than an hour had cxtinguIsbed the FIRE,
though not till the inside was mainly burned
out Of the building, which was then torn
down by the Hooks. The engineers and all
branches Of the Fire Department worked
with will and dId most valuable service
As is commonly the case when one "ma-
chine" supplies another, a friendly contest
Of muscle and machinery took place between
the Ethans and the Boxers. The former
claim that the latter was pretty efcctually
washed. The Boxers on the other hand
assert that flr the first twenty minutes
the Ethan did no sufficiently supply
them, although they say the Boxer ma
chine stood on side hill where half her
men worked to disadvantage and that the
subsequent advantage of the Ethans was
only gained by aid of fresh men, against
the.r tired ones
The building was very old and eOmpar-
atively worthless affair, the thing Of most
yalu, about it being quantity of ice,wOrth
some 5000, belonging to Mr.. Barnes. which
was stored IN the cellar. and was mostly
saved. The occupants saved most of their
personal effects.
