of cotton catching fire near the depot. About
thirty bales were consumed, value approximate
ing 81, 500. One entire car load was consumed

The Christian Union.

The Christian Union, only ono year old, has
attained tc circulation surpassed by only one
religious paper in the country. Its success is in
the main due to the great ability and recognized
popularity of its editor, Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. The Nation of New York, probably
the most critical and hard-to-pleass journal in
the country, and high literary authority, says
it is not only the ablest and best, but also, as
we suppose, the most popular of American re-
ligious periodicals. At all events it il safe TO
predict that it will soon have, if it has not al
ready, greater influence than any other relig-
ious paper in the country" 1t is we'll filled
With choice reading matter. For the year 1871,
one OF its chief attractions is Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stoves new story, MY Wife and -
-one of her best. This was commenced last
November, bat the publishers offer to send all
the back numbers containing it 20 every sub
.criber for 1871. e., Fourteen months for one
years subscription. Marshaps beautiful steel
engraving Of Washington. also, is prsssnted to
