FIRE AT GoRHAM.-The building erected
few years ago, near the railroad depot, by Isaac
Mcclellan, Esq, for the purpose of preserving
fruit, butter, eggs, &c., and last year purchased
by the Casco Preserving Company, was discov-
cred to be on fire at o'clock Friday evening.
The fire had made such headway before the
engine reached the building and could be put
in working order, that there was no hope by
the best directed efforts of saving the building.
About thirty tubs of butter were taken out;
the balance of the stock, which consisted en-
tirely of eggs and butter, was destroyed. The
building was erected and modelled in virtue of
patent owned in Ohio and purchased by Mr..
Mcclellan. There were two walls, twenty feet
high, constructed of iron plates, with space
between them, filled up with saw dust The
building was commodious, 40x36, with long
rafters, and cost $5O0O The contents of the
building have recently been reduced some
what and probably at the time contained arti-
cles which might be valued at $4,000. There
was an insurance on the building and stock
of $4,000; by Sparrow & Co., Republic Co., N.
Y, $2500; by j. Dow, Hartford Co., $25OO. Of
the above $500 was on the building and $500
ou tne Suock. Ine SIOUX oI tne company is
owned in equal parts by Samuel F. Perley,
Isaac Mcclellan, Lewis Mcclellan, Josiah B.
Webb and Ezra Garter.
The origin of the fire is not satisfactorily ex-
planned but may have been from spark from
an engine of the P. & R. r. R., which passed
over the track few hours previous.
Mr.. Mcclellan, the agent of the corporation,
has given the subject of preserving fruit, &c.,
considerable attention, and the results have
satisfactory. The business and profits of the
business were increasing, and the loss will be
felt both by the corporation and the commu-
nity

Financial Mistakes,

To the Editor Of the Press:
The numerous instances of financial alb
stractions and mistakes" occurring now all
over the country, brings to mind curious an
ecdote of the old-fashioned mode Of managing
such things.
The late Gen. John W. Smith of this city
was for several years treasurer of the county
l can we'll remember his red pine desk placed
in one of the lobbes of the courthouse, in
which his money was arranged most method
ically in readiness to pay off jurors, witnesses,
&C., in attendance on the courts.
One day friend came in hastily and said
General Smith, will you change me ten
dollar bil?' II should be glad to oblige you,
Mr.. B., but haven't any money" the gen.
eral replied.
why, your desk is full of money! eyes,
but that's county money, and not mine"
The General wouldn't touch county money
under any circumstances, except for county
purposes. T.

PERsoNAL.-Admiral Farragut, accompanied
by his wife and Major Montgomery, his pri-
vate secretary and author of the "Cruise of the
franklin" (Which book is a description of the
Admirals visit in that vessel to the different

gether with Mayor Putnam and wife, he at
tended service at ST. Luke's. The afternoon
he passed quietly at tho hotel. As we said
above, although in pretty good health, the Ad-

suffering not long since, but he has been re-
quested and is expected to be present at the
Mayors office to-day at 12 clock, where those
who desire will have an opportunity to pay

por1cr.-Saturday night an old man named
IoI,n Hasty. residing at Dr.. Buzzelps, ip Cape
FIiz ,bsth. was driving aioug Commercial st.
in u wagon loaded with couple OF bales of
bay. and drawn by an old horse belonging to
the doctor. Hasty had INDUCED rather too
freely in liquor, and consequently mistook his
way and turned down on to Brooks wharf,
When the horse arrived at the end of the
wharf, being blind while his driver was drunk,
he kept straight on, and if it had not been for
the spikes which caught in the harness he
would have fallen eighteen feet on the deck
of the yacht Ethel. As it was Officers Fsrr
and Hanson got rope round the horse and
managed to lower him down to the deck of the
vessel without injury. Hasty was thrown out
of the wagon when the horse fell overheard
and dislocated his shoulder He was taken 10
the station house.
Arthur Fillmore. was arrested ON Saturday
by Officer Cammett on complaint of country
man, for an unwarrantable assault some time
ago. 1t seems the countryman was driVins
his hay rack along Washington street, peace
bly,when without nrovocation Fillmore sprang
into the rack and gave him severe pounding.
Ine cOuntrymau was oh ni' WI AS '' sAAN
time, but Saturday, being in town for the first
time since the assault, he made the complaint.
John Brown and John Fitzgerald got into
row on Saturday while drunk and pounded
each other. They were arrested by Officers
Wyman, Parker and Colby.
On Saturday night Officers Hanson and Lib
by heard two pistol shots fired on Greet street,
near the Portland House. They Immediately
went to the spot and found man named
Martin Conners, whose face was badly cut and
who was considerably intoxicated. He was
not able to give any account of how he received
his injuries, and was taken to the station
house. He afterwards made two or three diff
ferent statements, each contradictory of the
other.
There was a row at a house of questionable
character on Saturday night, and on Sunday
the same parties repeated it. Officer Adams
brought the offenders to the station house.
A short time ago man named Bartholo-
NEW Roonan, living in this city, agreed with
his wife that they should dissolve partnership
and share their portable property which
amounted to $2693-equaly. Mr.. Roonan,
however, took his wife's half and skedaddled
to Boston. He was arrested in that city and
our authorities went for him and brought him
to this city. where he returned his wife her
share of the money he defrauded her of.
Several were arrested on Saturday and Sun
day for intoxication, and there were few
lodgers
