From Atlantic's depths 'tis heard to speak.
From Pacihc's calm It's echoed back.
This hears the world, and sees on high
Our glorious banner pierce the sky,
Aud reads In every Stripe and Star,
A promise to the oppressed and poor.
Here Freedoms Goddess sits e%nthroned.
And sheds impartial blessings round
But grinds to powder all who stand
Opposing her In this free land.

GREAT FIRE At DAYTON !
Fifty HOUSES Destroyed.
to''' 10000
$4,000

About Ho'clock, last evening, a
fire broke out in an occupied saloon
belonging to MI. Walters, at the upper
end Of main street, Dayton, which rap
idly spread owing to the combustible
nature Of the buildings near 1t, and in
a very short time extended beyond all
possibility Of control. There was, UNI
fortunately, no fire company in town,
except a hook and ladder arrangement,
we believe, which was Of little use un-
der the circumstances. There was
also little or no wind, and the fire just
had things pretty much its own way.
1t swept from Howe's fire-proof store
and Odd Fellows Hall (Which 1t
scorched considerably down Main
street to within u few houses Of the
river bridge, and along Pike street to
the little creek just north of the Odeon
Hall building. This was q large hand
some two-story brick, always supposed
to be fire-proof, but a huge pile Of ex-
cellent nutpine wood against N side,
evidently was Of 10 benefit to 1t; it
was Quilted completely. DR.. Hazlett's
office on the north bank Of the creek
was prevented from taking fire, only
by the most strenuous e%xertions, saw
ing the balance Of the town. The prin-
cipal business portion of the town Is
destroyed, being about the same dis
trict destroyed by the fire of four
years ago. Cross large National Hotel
was destroyed with the rest, and the
only fire-proofs which stood the test
were Myers grocery store, corner Of
Main and Pike streets, Walters cloth
ing store, on the opposite side Of Main
| street, and FoX's meat market, near 1t.
| The amount of insurance is small In
proportion to the loss, and "a during
the two hours the fire ragged 1t spread
so rapidly that many were unable to
| ave their furniture, the greatest loss
falls as usual upon those least able to
bear it. The following is a carefully
| compiled list OF losses and Insurance,
as near as We could obtain 1t, some few
minor items being unavoidably left

The light Of the fire could be very
distinctly seen from here, reddening
the sky with a broad glare. The wires
failing to work, however, no tele-
graphic information could be obtained,
yet the general conclusion was that
Dayton was burning, and our iremen
longed to be there with their machines.
Many persons went thither from this
section in carriages and on horseback.
A single well ordered fire engine, such
as those of Gold Hill and Virginia,
might have saved the town. 1t Is q
previously e~xasperating idea that a
town should be thus destroyed BY fire,
with a whole river Of water flowing
past it. and 4 creek running across It.

JUDGE orc. d. KEEsEI, PRESIDING.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were tn
Lcr Nh with the case of ''The State Vi. John
Burk" for murder. During the trial Of Burk,
which was for the killing Of Chinaman in
general row that occurred, at Loray, a station
about eight miles east Of TOano on or about
the 18th inst, great interest was manifested,
and the courtroom was packed full Of eager
lookers-on during the trial. A good portion
Of Wednesday was occupied in taking the
Chinese testimony, which was done through
Chinese interpreter. Judge Keeney swore
the Chinese witnesses in American style, ig-
noring the old custom Of swearing them by
the blood of II chicken entirely, for the reason
probably that their testimony was considered
only good when corroborated by white testi-
mony. The sparring between the two emf
nent counsel, +. NJ. Smith, for the prosecu-
tion, and Tom Cox for the defendant, was
highly entertaining, and the points made
we're hugely enjoyed by the crowd that filed
the room. Tom Cox turned loose his we'll
leveled battery of whitening and scathing
sarcasm on the head of the opposing counsel,
much to the delight of the audience. His il
lustrltions were 30 powerful and his jokes so
puuCent and 10 the point that il was hardly
turn finally came, when he awakened to his
usual brilliancy and poured forth a train of
eloauence that brought forth the applause Of
the assembled multitude. He acted his part
admirably and sustained his reputation for
brilliancy aud power. These two attorneys
used to meet fourteen years ago in California.
They have met this week for the first time
since.
The jury went out ut 10 =. NJ, and brought
in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second
degree, at midnight. The prisoner was rec
commended TO the mercy OF the Court. Sem
tence will be passed next week.
State vs.. Williams, indicted for murder
NOlle prOSe9i entered.
State vs.. Susie Raper, indicted for grand
larceny. Counsel for the State, Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Rand. For the defendant NJ.
s. Bonnifield and T. II. Smith. Case tried
and submitted to the jury at four o'clock last
evening, who. after being ont four hours. re-
turned "A verdict of mot guilty." and Susie
went on her way rejoicing, having escaped two
indictments for grand larceny, one for cattle
stealing and one for stealing jewelry. Verify,
il is hard TO convict woman.
