DESTRUCTION OF A FLAMING MILL AND TANNERY.
The planning mill of BENZ. s. Fennimore, and
the tannery of John Shelley, in Coatesville,
Chester county, were destroyed by fire early on
Thursday morning, of last week. The buildings
were nearly adjoining in the Western part of the
borough. The fire originated in the planning
mill, and may have been the result of sponta-
neois combustion, or the work of an incendary.
The Union says This is the most destructive
fire, to Our knowledge, we have ever had in
Coatesville. Mr.. Shelley had about $4,000 worth
OF material ready for market, and was to COM
mence shipping it that day. He had over 1000
hides on hand, and a large quantity Of bark. Mr..
Shelley is the owner of the premises, and his loss
will be over $4,000, on which there is an insu-
rance of $1,000. Mr.. Fennimore's loss will be
nearly $4,000, upon which there is no insurance.
The alarm was not very general, and MANY Of
our citizens knew nothing of it until after
breakfast. It is intended to rebuild both build
ings and resume work as soon as possible. This
is the third time that this property has been de-
stroyed by fire. The first time was about 1850,
the second time being in March, 1862

swimming some distance Derrickson's strength
began to fail him and Walter went to his rescue
and helped him until he found that his strength
was failing him, and that unless Derrickson
would loose him they would both be drowned
When they arrived where the water was not over
their heads Dcrrckson loosed him, and he
(Walter) managed to get to the shore, but was
not able to stand Derckson sank down where
he was left his corps was recovered III about an
