FIRE AND ARSON IN REApiNa.--On
sunday afternoon last, between 5 and 6
o'clock, man enteSed the house Of Da-
vid ID. Smith in Reading while the fami-
" were absent, except girl of about
twelve years of age, whom he seized by
the arm and put out of doors. She ran
to neighbor about one fourth of a mile
distant and told her mother; and arriy.
ing there was sent to her father, who.
with an older boy were out in an oppo.
site direction on the farm. As the girl
passed the house on her way to alarm
her father, she saw the man in the house
and he pointed something at her out Of
window which she thought was pis-
tol. Mr.. Smith, on approaching his
house, saw the man going out of sight
near the woods. He also found fire
had been kindled in the wood-house.
which he Immediately extinguished, and
aroused his neighbors to pursue the in
cendiary. On going about mile or so
he looked back and saw one of his own
buildings in flames. Two neighbors,
ellison and Boutwell,, get there in season
to put out the fire in one barn, but an
other fire had been set in another barn,
and there it had got under such head
way as to be entirely beyond control,
and the result was, the barns filled with
grain and hay, and house and outbuild
ings were all destroyed. With some diff
ficulty the hogs were saved, and the ar
rival of neighbors saved most of the
things in the house. the loss is partial
ly covered by insurance. The incendi-
airy escaped, and had not been arrested
at last accounts, and we have no further
explanation of this certainly strange af
fair.
P. S. On going to the insurance office
in this village we find that some $500
of the insurance on barns, tool house.
&c, is in the Connecticut River Mutual
of this place, and that the Insurance
was only effected some two or three days
before the fire.

There is one Democrat in Goshen,

The Sothern telegraph agents collect
all the reports of negro outrages they can

1t is stated that over fifteen thous-
and sacks of wheat are on the Mississip-
pi banks, near Keokuk, waiting for high
water for transportation down; and we
learn from a Chicago paper that one
hundred and fifty cars would not supply
the daily demands of the Burlington and
Missouri road. There never was such a
trade in wheat 1t is rushing in like a
mighty torrent.
The republican campaign in Chica-
go is being pushed with unexampled Wig
or. Nightly meetings are held simulta-
neously in the various wards. A grand
rally was held at the rolling-mills the
other night. In the Fifteenth Ward, a
closely contested district, the republicans
propose to have a Tanner Club in every
block before the campaign closes. An
immense torchlight parade of all the
Clubs in the city took place on Friday
night, and is said to have made a specta-
Gle never to be forgotten.

CURIOUS ELBcTIoN.-Among the Gu
riosities of our late election was the re-
suit in Glastonbury in Bennington coun-
ty. This little town has long been the
banner town of democracy in the State,
and their vote this year was eighteen
democratic to one republican. But
among the eighteen they didn't find one
to send to the legislature, and so they
turned in" and actually elected the sol
itary republican as their representative |!
Three cheers for the democrats of Glas-
tenbury. Let them do likewise in No
vember and vote for Grant

The World, which has suggested
through scores of paragraphs that Gen.
Grant is no soldier, and privately not as
good as he ought to be, is snubbed by
the democratic state convention of Mas
sachusetts, which "deprecates all at
tempts to detract from the military fame,
or blacken the private character" of the
general. Mr.. Pendleton had previously
said substantially the same; and every
democrat of character who has spoken
in the canvass has taken similar ground.
The republicans of Vermont don't
know how heathenish they are. Let the
Richmond Dispatch tell them 1.-THE
result of the election in Vermont, on
yesterday, signifies nothing. Vermont is
a land of political heather. 1t is land
of men cut off by their position from the
great world, and as impenetrable to out
side influences as the monks of st. Ber-
nard.'
The democracy of the third district
of Ohio seem not disposed to give Mr..
Vallandigham united and hearty sup
port. Some of the disafected ones have
put forth a manifesto in which they
charge Mr.. Vallandigham with long
list of political sins. The manifesto
winds up with an appeal to democrats
not to support so treacherous and unreli-
able man.
The California election, which ordi-
narily takes place on the first Wednes-
day of September, was this year post
poned to November, by special act of
the Legislature. Members of Congress,
presidential electors, and minor officers,
will then be chosen.
The editor of the Lebanon (O.O
Patriot, democratic paper, says he can
not, consistently with his record as war
democrat, support Mr.. Vallandigham for
Congress.
A portion of the track of the Bel
lie fontaine and Indianapolis (Ind.) rail
road, about $50 feet long, sunk over six
teen feet, last week, and the ground
around sunk with it. All the trains
have been obliged to stop, and the track
has been raised by cribbing." Fish
from II to Is inches long appear where
water has risen and it is supposed that
subterranean lake exists beneath the
track.
The democratic journals of Missou-
ri continue to urge their adherents to vi
olence. The st. Louis Times has distin-
guished itself in this line lately by adj
vising that where registering officers re-
fuse to register conservatives that the of
ficers be settled with personally"
= The New York World takes the
Vermont election with equanimity: "The
democrats not having bestirred themselves
during the campaign, except SO far as to
indulge in spasmodic effort at the very
last moment, allowed the election to go
by default, justly considering that its re-
suit would be in no degree indicative of
the political sentiment of the country"
Perhaps they will let Maine ego by de-
fault in the same way.
