NEWSPAPER SpoNGERs.-An exchange
well says that there are many persons
who either take no paper at all, or else
take one from another city, and when
they wish to see what is transporting in
their neighborhood, they borrow the
local paper from some citizen more libe-
raj than themselves. Many men of this
kind are engaged in business, and fire.
quently grumbls because people do not
patronize "home industry" when they
practice the very thing of which they
complain.

FIRE.-About fifteen minutes past II
o'clock, yesterday, fire broke out in the
wooden building on the South west
corner of Lady and Assembly streets,
occupied by Messrs. Wells & Tozer as a
steam cotton ginning and pressing es-
tablishment, and owing to the quantity
of combustibles, it blazed furiously in a
few minutes and totally destroyed the
building and its contents. The fremen
were promptly on the spot, but their eff
forts availed but little. Immediately
upon hearing the alarm, Mr.. Tozer hur-
ried to the engine and let off the steam,
thus, perhaps, preventing an explosion.
The fire was caused by piece of stone
in the cotton coming in contact with the
teeth of the gin. The engine was but
little damaged. The building belonged
to Mr.. j. II. Baldwin and was valued at
about S600-no insurance. The gin and
machinery was. insured for $500 in the
Richmond Insurance and Savings Com
pany, of which Mr.. George Higgins is
the agent. About eight bales of cotton
belonging to the City Council and Messrs.
W. Fl. Gibbes, Pope and others-were
destroyed, upon which there was an in
surance Of S7OO.
