DIsGUsTING IMPERTINANcE.-We under
stand that certain officious individual in
this town has taken the responsibility of
informing General Bidwell by letter that he
will receive a majority in this county. Every
man in the county possessed of a particle of
common sense knows that Bidwell will not
receive any respectable number of votes here.
Such statement is perfectly foolish, and

Terrible Calamity-Mother and -Four Chill
dren Burnt to Death.

A terrible and shocking calamity occurred
at Shingletown, in this county, on the morn
ing of the 22d inst. F. W. Hudson, with
his family, consisting of wife and four
children, lately removed from Parkville to
Shingletown, where he opened blacksmith
shop. The family occupied house in the
village and on Sunday night Mr.. Hudson
was temporarily absent, attending to some
business matters in another neighborhood.
Towards morning several teamsters encamp-
ei close by were awakened by an unusual
noise, and on looking around saw ludson's
house wrapped in flames. Hurrying to the
scene of confagration they found that the
family had been surprised by the devouring
element, and had awakened too late to escape
by any Of the ordinary outlets. The screams
and means issuing from the building indicated
the agony and suffering Of the unfortunate
inmates, and although the house was crum-
bling to pieces, an aperture was made IN the
side, through which Mrs. Hudson and one
child were taken out, horribly burnt but
still alive The other three children, the
Oldest of whom was eleven years of age, were
already burnt to death, and after the fire
pought remained Of them but few charrcd
and blackened bones. Every possible effort
was made to relieve the sufferings of Mrs.
Hudson and her child, but all proved una
vailing, and both expired on Monday
evening. This is the saddest and most
terrible calamity ever recorded In this
county. We hare not learned how the fire
originated.

A WIFE AGENcY.-The Culpeper
(Virginian) Observer has this queer
paragraph about a ''wife agen-
cy":
We have lately heard Of a gen
tleman who claims to have been
in this business in Fauquier, who
boasts Of his success, saying he
has been successful as to the num-
Der Of marriages he has brought
about, and in getting off some
hard cases in the way Of old
maids. He has shown a list of
one hundred and sixty-fVe names
of females in Fauquier, many of
whom, he confesses, have not the
ghost Of a chance for matrimony ;
but he takes all the names he can
Get, which for five dollars he reg
istcrs as candidates for matrimo-
ny. He pointed to one name ex-
ultingly, which had been crossed
off, saying she had tried before
the war, and during the war-both
sides, Fed and Confed-"but I
got her off at last"
