SAW Mill BURNED.-On last Satur-
day night the saw mill of John Con
rad, Esq, of Union tp., was destroyed
by fire. Besides the mill the loss was
increased by the destruction Of shin
giles, seasoned lumber, DC. A lot of
carpenters tools were damaged. The
fire is supposed to have originated
from a stove in the mill in which fire
had been during the day.

EGGs-ITING EGGs-AGGERATIoN.- -
1t is now proposed to sell eggs by
weight, instead of by the dozen. An
exchange hopes not. Some eggs are
very heavy-when they contain juven-
lie chickens and to purchase poultry
in that condition, at present prices, is
by no means economical.

FIRE.-On last Saturday evening, a.
bout o'clock, the usual quiet Of our
town was disturbed by the cry of
''ffre." This was occasioned by the
discovery of fire in the splendid hard
ware establishment Of Messrs. Hartley
& Metzger, on the corner of Pitt and
Richard streets. A large crowd of peo-
pie was soon on the spot, the doors of
the store were forced open, when it was
found that the room was SO densely
packed with smoke that it was almost
impossible to get near the fire, which
was raging in the back part of the
building. When the fire was reached,
a liberal application of water soon con
quered the destructive element. The
loss sustained by the parties will reach
in the neighborhOod of 81 900, which is
fully covered by insurance.

AN ELECTIoN.-The Radicals Of this
neck OF the woods. held an election on
Saturday last, for the purpose of ind
eating their choice for Postmaster
Mr.. A. S. Russell received large ma
jority of the votes polled. Democrats
are generally well satisfied with the
result. Mr.. Russell was soldier who
served his country faithfully, is a gen.
tleman and will make an excellent
Postmaster. He has been, during the
last four years, clerk for Mr.. Loyer,
the present efficient Postmaster, who,
though a Democrat, resigned some
time since in favor of Mr.. Russell, and
secured the appointment of the latter
by President Johnson. As the masses
of the Radical party hereabouts have
confirmed President JohnsOn's appoint
ment, we presume the u. S. Senate
will do likewise. "Our member of
Congress" elect will scarcely object,
although he and his immediate friends
forgot to vote on Saturday last.

ToLL.-There are no less than six toll
gates between this place and Somerset,
going by the Somerset and Bedford
Turnpike; that is gate fer every 63
miles. If each gate keeper were made
to use a shovel fifteen minutes in every
twenty four hours, the road might be
made passable. We doubt, however,
whether these ton-houses were estab-
Iished for any such purpose. At any
rate the road is now, and has been
for several weeks, closed, at several
points, by snow-drifts, which little
shoveling might remove. The toll,
however, is the same, drifts or no drifts.
We say to this company, keep open
your road or close your toll houses.
