Great Destruction Of Property in Summit.
by Fire.

AZ last the incendiary, who attempted to fire |
CarnerS u Teunisson's warehouse last month, has |
accomplished his object by burning that whole
block of buildings. At O'Clock this morning,
flames were seen bursting from the house known
as the q Thoma Building, and suuoeeupled The
whole town was soon aroused, but nothing could
save the light frame buildings. Every means was
adopted to stay the flames. Prominent among the
hard workers was Gel. James Fl, Wingheld form
erly effective as one of the iredepartment of New
Orleans. He made every exertion to save
property and his efforts met the hearty co,opera-
\ tion of our citizens
The loss is considerable, Sixty thousand dollars
would not cover the loss OF few hours.
4 Two stores, TWO houses, depot, and platform
fall of cotton are destroyed.
The above we copy from the Summit CONNER
! cial of last Saturday, since which, we are IN
possession of private letter from that fated
i town, informing US that the postofice was CON
sunaed, together with an the mail matter which
went up on the train from this city on Friday last
due at that point at 10 P.M. The depot, an ex
fensiye building With considerable freight, was
consumed, together with the platform adjoining
containing about seventy-ffve bales of cottoI
awaiting shipment to our merchants The lay
office of Gen. Oscar Stuart was also destroyed H'
was an old practitioner at the bar Of Pike county
'e Miss, and his library Was one of the best in tn
State. He lost all. We truly sympathize with tn
old gentlemen. Garner u Teunisson, successor
). to Aleus Sherck, nov doing business in this city
ts had an extensive assortment Of groceries, dr.
goods, hardware etc, in their store, situated neS
: to Gen. STARTS office. This was also consumed
N They had an insurance of only $4,000 on the
valuable stock.
g The store adjoining the unoccupied house
Z which the fire originated, was owned by Mr. Tho
Mogan, He had quite large stock Of goods
its and he also conducted the postofice Of which
has been the most efficient master for many year
i His aged mother, himself and servants bare
escaped from the rapid progress Of the flames
saving nothing. We regret to learn that NJ
Mogan had no insurance on his property. He is
=. worthy man, ana one Of the most charitable ci
y; zens Of Summit.
The opposite side of the street. and the ne
Masonic hall, were in great danger from the fyil
MI sparks, which, at one time, seemed TO envelt
shs the whole square, and, but for the practic
49, knowledge and wise policy Of our old friend Al
il fireman, James H. Wingfeld, whe caused v
!. blankets to be spread on the roofs, the who
portion Of Summit east of the railroad would ha
!. been bat dismal mark Of the destroyer.
!. The New Orleans, jackson and Great Northe
- Railroad will we understand, be losers to the {
tent Of about $4,000 by the disaster.

HONESTY AND THRIFr.-When the Roman le-
giens oyefran Palestine like torrent, and the
walls of Jerusalem were thrown down to lay in
for centuries defed the assaults Of myriad bar
baran, unbelieying hordes, were scattered over
all the world AS if even insmisfortune, they
should be distinguished from those who had once
that peculiar Eastern physiognomy which they
bear on every land, but the spirit Of oneness Of
unity, Of helping one another was also preserved,
so that they no more mix with other peoples than
they did when Moses led them out of the land OF
Egypt. We came across this paragraph in a
Mobile paper few days ago, which, as much as
anything We have ever read, shows one of their
striking peculiarites: "Who ever saw q Hebrew
begging breadG There are none. We are informed
by al old -resident-9ne who has lived in Mobile
high official capacity, that among the many who
have applied for charity, he has yet to the first
son of Abraham wanting the necessaries of life. >

The sAnBArH DAY.-That day of rest, when
thought of toll, aHd memory of WEAKNESS should
not perplex aud worry, is one of the blessings of
provision, and one of those dispensatons, the
original intention of which is little understood
aud appreciated. While the mind is attuned to
the sublime minsrelsy Of devotion, the limbs that
may have aeked, or the brain that may have grown
wouted elasticity by repose. And then the sound
Of Sabbath hells! What melody their music tells
How softly and sweety they cEime their call to
prayer The mind must indeed bS obtnse which
does not echo their cadenees, and tbrill With an
unknown but elevated feeling under lie pathes of
their sounds, Should we not be grateful 10 GoG
for his beneEcance, and should we not be willing
on Bended knees to express that gratitude HE

Treasure Trove.

A renort was current in San Antonio some days
age of large sum Of money found buried on the
plains of the West The Herald of the 2lst gives
fhe following explanation of the grounds OF the
report from which tappears that there may really
be something in it, If so, and the amount is what
the q cut'' Indicates the finder has made q snug
and sudden fortune:
The report of indications having been discov-
cred leading to the suppostion that treasure was
buried several hundred miles west of here, proves
| to be no humbug. The facts are simply these
| A Mexican, in charge of his train, from New Mex
| leo to this city, two or three weeks ago, when
about $50 miles west Of here, lost some mules, and
| while searching for them discovered on the crest
/ of a little mountain a peculiar arrangement OF
some small rocks, which attracted his attention.
| There were three Of these rocks placed in u III
| angular form and within these three, other rocks
similarly arranged, while in the center was stone
| sunk in the ground about foot lower than the
| rest, and overgrown with grass.
Onthe outside rocks was cut the date lS4L, and IN
addition Spanish inscription, stating that party
OF Spaniards, journeying from New Mexico, had
stopped here and buried $4,000 in silver beneath
the center stone. Several graves were also to be
seen in the immediate neighborhood, over OF
around which bayOnets were driven in the ground
From these and other indications, it is supposed
that nearly the whole party were massacred bJ
Indians, and that perhaps only one renamed, Wht
buried the money, and placed the rocks over it il
the form indicated, to mark the spot. This indiyi
dual very likely died before an opportunity offered
to return and recover the treasure. The locality
is about half o mile from the regular El Past
road. The Mexican removed several rocks ant
actually found several pieces Of moneyin the dirt
but, for some reason not given, he abandoned any
further search at that time.
This is the statement made to certain individuals
here; and SO confident was he that he was on the
track Of fortune, he left his train on the othe
side of the San Pedro, and hired seven men to &C
company him back to aid IN the search They
started three or four days ago. We know mo-
what will come of this strange affair, but there il
certainly some good ground for undertaking al
expedition of such magnitude.

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-The Albany (N. "
Knickerbocker relates: t.
child of William Wells, residing in the town
Tof Bethlehem, short distance from the city, died
rather suddenly, as the family supposed, from an
attack Of diarrhea. To all appearances the child
was dead, and it was accordingly prepared for the
grave, and actually laid in the coffin The coffin
containing the body was placed in the front room,
after having been thus arranged, and the family
retired. The funeral was to take place yesterday
During the night, however, Mr.. Wells heard noise
in the front room, and supposing it was the cat ol
dog that had got in there he went to drive it out
Imagine his surprise to find the body of the chile
turned in the coffin. He raised it up and the little
thing opened its eyes, looked up, and COMMENCED
crying Life, animated life, was there. The
fathers heart ieaped with joy. The mother agail
clasped her child to her bosom. The physician
was sent for, and the whole neighborhood wa
aroused. Nourishmcnts were administered, anC
the child yesterday was doing WELL Singular Il
relate, it has not had any diarrhea since, am
there is every prospect Of its living. This is in
deed singular case and confounds every bod.
