FIRE AT ORANaEBURa.-ORANaERuR G. H. g.
c., July 1O.-The alarm Of fire sounded again
this morning, about daybreak, in this fre-beset
town. 1t seems to have originated in a black
smiths shop-that Of Mr.. SAMUEL. CLARKE; it was
consumed and with it the store Of CoaNE11sEN,
KRAMER Co. The buildings are totally destroyed,
and at least the larger portion Of their contents
At this point, happily, the fire was arrested by
the faithful efforts Of some Of those who had
gathered at the alarm.
While on the spot I did not succeed in seeing
either OF the principal sufferers to learn the
amount OF their loss, or whether it was about
covered by their insurance, currently reported.
The firm whose store is destroyed are among our
new men" one Of them an ex-Confederate SOL
der, and the other Northern man. BY their
enterprise and diligence, and readiness to oblige,
they have won many friends here, who are sin
cerely grieved that this calamity has befallen
them.
BENNETTsvILLE, s. O.-The Eastern Journal of
Saturday says: "Jast Monday being sale day,
quite number of our citizens were in attendance
at this place. We endeavored to gather some
items for the local. but could hear of nothing
but grass grass and gloomy accounts of the
cotton crop. The Commissioners Of the Poor held
meeting during the day, and reported twenty
three paupers for Marlboro District. Trade du u
in the morning, but became liuely around some
cider carts in the afternoon, and seemed to impart
similar effect upon a good number Of those en-
gagged in it,"
Captured.-The same paper also has the fol-
lowing: 'In our last issue we mentioned that Mr..
WEATHERLY's blooded racer had been stolen. On
the morning following that event, Messrs. W. d.
CRossLAND and JACK. N. WEATHERLY made pur-
suit, and after three days hard riding, exhibiting
indomitable perseverance in following out the
track, over the rocks and hills of Moore and Ran
dolph counties, N. O., succeeded in capturing the
horse within few miles Of Ashboro'. The thief
having abandoned him, was not apprehended.
His name-BETHEUEL NJ. DAwK1Ns alias MELTON,
is connected with other instances of this species
Of villainy."
