Resignation Os state
EncCsOrs

It is said that John Overton and H.
Burns, Esqs., recently appointed by the
Governor, and confirmed by the Senate, as
Inspectors for the Penitentiary, decline to
serve the State in that capacity, and have
sent TO Gov. Senter their designations. We
regret to hear that this is the case, for the
superior business knowledge and excellent
practical judgment Of Messrs. Overton and
Burns would have enabled them to give
entire satisfaction in this or any other
branch of the public service where such
qualifications as theirs arc necessarily re
Ouired

Come, Gentle Spring, Ethereal Mild
ness, Come.


Old winter with his hoary locks,
Is lingering with US yet awhile,
And at the door with gentle knocks,
Spring waits to enter with smile;
She then our hearts will oft beguile,
As strolling DER the dewy mead,
Or looking at the newest style
OF Hats, by Fashion now decreed.
Come, gentle spring, and gid our way
With radiant sunbeams, fragrant flowers,
And let the brightness of each ray
Shine on this latest style of ours;
Let shoo-fies buzz in summer showers,
And dry their wings as best they can,
As Paddy says, ''We, by the powers,
Intend to place yez, livery man."

Destructive Fire I'm LynchburE-
Heavy Loss of Property.

At about 9 O'Clock this morning, after our
paper had been pnt TO press, a rre broke
out on Twelfth street between Church and
Court in the small wooden tenement
formerly occupied by Edward Corrigan as
grocery store. bat which has been unoc-
c,ipieG tor some time past. The flames
spread very rapidly, and they very soon
tory adjoining, and occupied, the upper
stories hv MeSsrs. James d. Holt & Co. and
the basement floors by Major John II.
Flood. The factory building is large
structure, fronting about thirty and rum
ming back about one hundred feet, and the
flames, when once they had seized upon It,
seemed fairly to leap from one end of the
roof to the other, and cast their lurid glare
for squares in every direction.
From the factory the flames crossed
Twelfth street to the large brick buildings
occupied by Mrs. Robert NJ. Brown, and
known as the Lynchburg Female Seminary.
The fire here first seized the roof and heavy
cornlccS, and in few moments spread itself
over the entire front next to the factory,
and ut the time we write g A. NJ the whole
immense building appears doomed to de-
struction. The fire next communicated to
the brick building to the east of the one in
which il originated, and occupied as dwell
ing by Mr.. Charles Coomes. All of the
buildings named seemed doomed to de-
struction when we left the scene, and fears
were entertained that other houses in the
neighborhood would share n similar fate.
The building in which the fire originated,
as well as those to the east oft, belonged.
we believe, to Mr.. Edward Corrigan. The
factory building is the property Of Mr.. d.
w. Burton. while the Seminary building is
the property of its occupant, Mrs. Brown.
MeSsrs. Holt & Co. had an insurance of
about p, 600 on their stock, which will only
partially cover their loss. We could not
learn whether the other sufferers had any
insurance.
The entire loss by the fire will probably
reach 10000. and VIII fall heavily on the
unfortunate sufferers.
The fire was doubtless the work of an in
cendiary, from the fact that it originated in
an unoccupied building.-Lynchburg Re-
publican. 2d.

A BITTER B1T.-A man named Hotchkiss,
over in New Market, the other night,
thought he would have some fun soaring
his wife by dropping a loose brick down
the chimney into the replace in her room.
So he crept softly out Of bed, and with
nothing on but his night-shirt, sneaked up
stairs and got out on the roof. Mr.. Hotch-
kiss dropped nineteen bricks dowf the
chimney, each one with vigorous slam,
but his wife never screamed a solitary time.
So then Mr.. Hotchkiss gave it up, and
thought he would 20 down stairs but he
found that Mrs. Hotchkiss had had her
head out of the trap-door watching him all
the time, and when he had finished she had
shut the trap and fastened it on the inside.
1t may be as. we'll to state that Mr.. Hotch-
kiss spent the rest of the night sitting on
