SPRIdG ZANE had IA hearing before
Justice Johnston yesterday, and was
again committed to Jail for further ex-
animation. The forgery seems to have
been committed some six years ago.
The forged draft was on the Bank of
Wheeling, and was cashed in Washing
ton city When the party who paid
the draft sent it to Wheeling for pay.
ment, it was returned protested, and
also with Mr.. Lists denial of the sig
nature. The parties failed to haye
Zane arrested in the hope of obtaining
their money without resorting to so
harsh II measure, and thus the matter
has dragged on to the present time.
Failing to obtain payment, they on
on Tuesday had him arrested.
and taken before Justice Johnston, who
had him arrested and lodged in iaiI.
The party having him arrested seemed
to be under the Impression that if Zane
after his arrest, by himself or through
his friends, should settle the matter,
they could withdraw the charge,
but the Squire is too well posted in the
law to expose himself to the penalties,
which are very severe, for compounding
felony, being a fine of five hundred
dollars and one yenr's imprisonment:
and the forged paper and the sworn
testimony OF the prosecutor being in
his hands, he has no course open to
him but that prescribed by the law;
so that, unless there is some technical
loop hole through which Zane can
escape, he stands u pretty good chance
or having to stand Il trial for tho otfense,
and of being acquitted or convicted by
II jury of his countrymen.

Prairie On Fire...DeStructiOn OF
prODnptY.

We understand from Mr.. Austin,
the Assessor & Collector for this
county, that quite q large scope Of
prairie land, ranging through Cory
ell county, and entering this conn-
ty in the n. w. corner, was swept
over late last Sunday evening, Sd
inst, by q very destructive fire,
which did immense damage to the
fine range and farms along its path
why.
The fire broke out probably, upon
the frontier, and, so far us heard
from, passed over, in very short
time, scope of country varying iii
width from three to eight miles, and
in length about sixty. A large num-
Der Of cattle were overtaken by tho
flames and destroyed.
The following settlers, living in
Corycll county, suffered more or less;
Mrs. Fore's place burnt entirely
up, except her houses.
Mr.. Latham's place halfdestroyed,
Mr. Ricc's place all destroyed.
Mr.. Perryman's place about half
destroyed.
Mr.. Polk had one ten acre field
/ burnt.
Pat. Gallaghcrs entire premises
were ronsumed-houso, turniturc

Mr.. Largc's place WAS greatly
damaged.
Mr., Harmon's place about half
destroyed
Others, also, in Corycll County,
and many in this county, suffered
heavy losses,
The scene, to an idle spectator,

Quenccs to the good people Of that
beautiful region, must have present
cd n sublime spectacle, mingled With
