FIRE Last NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
Mr.. ScmMsrzDoRyy's BAxrRY.-About
ten o'clock last night one story frame
building on Eighth street. occupied By
Mr.. Herman Schmetsdorf ~ q bakery,
and owned by his mother, was discovered
to be on Gre. Mr.. Schmetsdorff and his
wife, we're at the time, on the street, and
arrived on the ground only when the
flames had made considerable headway.
The fire originated in middle room of
the house, and is thought to have orIgfna-
tod from the bursting ola lamp, as Mr.
asd Mrs. 8. left lighted lamp in the
room, when they went out.
The fire companies and large crowd of
citizens we're promptly on hand, and sac
eeeded in saving the greater portion OF
the contents Of the buildiug, ard finally
succeeded 10, drowning tho FIRE entirel !,
out. The Rough and Readies threw the
Ara water on the building. But the Arabs
we're right on their heels. Tho Hiber-
.nians we're promptly on hand and did
splendid work. Indeed, the uninjured con-
dition of the franc buildings tina, stand
on either side, testify that all the IRE COM
psais worked with good judgment and
telling effect.
We very much regret to learn that Mrs
Schmetzdor6 had no insurance on The
house. She has rssidcd IN Cairo during
the past seventeen years, and the property
destroyed wss the principal accumulation
Of that long period. The total loss will
probably reach u, 200 or $500.
Mr.. Herman Schmctzdor0's household
effects wsrs badly damaged BY the rough
handling, and 3 portion Of them WAS
burned. His loss will probably reach $3.50
or $500, besides his loss Of business.

The United States steamers Nipsie and
Guard will sail from Philadelphia on the
10th instant as the Darien expedition. These
vessels are under the command of Commo-
dore Selfridge. TLey are to be used as the
protectors to the surveyors and others who
have been deputed by the Coast Survey
bureau to survey route for the proposed
Darien Ship Canal across the Isthmus of
Darien. The natives of the Isthmus are
said to be very hostile to any foreigners in
vading the territory, and hence it Is neces-
sary to have the naval armament present on
the coast and near at hand to render aid to
the surveying parties, if necessary. The
survey will be commenced as soon as the
vessels nrrive at their destination. There is
now no doubt that Secretary Fish has OBJ
tanned for this Government fright of

Canal all Of which will be made public at

WEST CHESTER AND COATES
VILE

After reproducing recent brief article in
the COMMERCIAL on the palpabe advantage
Of transferring the Chester County Scat Of
Justice to Coatesville, the Union, of that
town, says;-
"We look upon the removal of the County
seat from West Chester to a more central
location, as mere matter of time. When
the Wilmington and Reading Railroad shall
be completed throughout its entire length,
the convenience of having our county seat
at Coatesvile, will be more apparent to the
citizens of the northern section of our coun-
ty. We should be pleased to learn the
wishes of the people of the county upon this
subject, and offer our columns for the free
exchange of opinions"
We observe that our aged neighbor, the
West Chester Record seems inilamed by
this sensible move of the people of its coun-
ty and devotes itself, in three-q quarter
column article, apparently written by some
very young man, or very old lady (w.thout
regard TO sex,) to making fun of stout little
Delaware, and New Castle County, and the
city of Wilmington. 1t is lebg article, and
is "chock full :" of the real, unadulterated,
keen edged satire, showing an activity and
agility, which we did not suppose lay in the
Records stiff joints. But as respect to age
forbids our reply to this venerable reprooi,
we will mildly ask what answer all of il is to
the strong arguments in favor of the superior
location of Coatesville2
West Chester is community of gentle
men; the secluded spot where peaceful
students and thoughtful benefactors of their
race withdraw to mediate in respectable
company. 1t is recently actively urged that
it should be fenced in, on the WesterR side,
by partition of boards or palings, and it
has, indeed, long been fenced by the pale
of its own extraordinary perfection. What
does such spot want with the turmoil and
annoyance Of country people, coming in
cow-hide boots and smock-frocks, to get
between the wind and its gentility? AS our
good friend, Lord John Hickman, once re-
marked to friend. who urged the use of an
unoccupied. building as mandatory oi
some sort; "Sir, you must understand that
"Wcst Chester is the residence of gentle
"men; we want no ragged factory boys
offending our view upon our genteel
" sidewalks"
Under circumstances such us these, why
torment West Chester with the noise and
turmoil even Of the county legal machinery
