DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 12.-The news from
st. Clair and Huron counties of this date is of
the most distressing character. All that portion
OF the state east of Saginaw bay and north of a
point forty miles above Port Huron has been
completely swept by a fire. A number of per-
sons have persisted, aud it is feared that we
have not heard the worst. The villages of For
estVille, White Rock, Elm Greek, Sand Beach
and Huron City are entirely destroyed. Rock
Falls and Port Hope are partially destroyed.
Nothing has yet been heard from Port Austin or
Port Crescent but it is hardly possible that they
have escaped, At all these towns there were

the location wished for by the other roads if il was
only suitable place, as they argued 1t was, would
have every advantage to the Boston and Albany
road that their own location would, but it was not
a suitable place, for many reasons His clients were
contending for location which would be conven-

ii was said that the Boston and Albany road came
TO the hearing with hostility towards and desire
to injure the other roads, it must be admitted that
they only desired the best location for the general
good. He found the Boston, Barre and Gardner
road wishing to make connection with the Boston
ana Albany road for the purpose of going to Bos-
ton, the Worcester and Nashua road desiring in To-
eating depot to connect itself with the Norwich
and Worcester road to the SOUTH the Providence
road with It's avowed purpose of minding its own
local business, not concerned in the matter, and not
wanting to come into the depot at ALL but if neces-
sary, to have the location nearest its present site

commissioners not to adopt the location between
Green and Grafton Streets because it was wholly IN
adequate for the purposes of all these roads and
would not meet the public convenience or serve the
ends desired in securing union passenger depot BY
MIR. LincOln's estimate the cost of the Green and
Grafton street location over the other is three
quarters of million dollars; the opposition have
introduced careful witnesses, who have somewhat
reduced it, but it stands forth serious cOnsidera-

difficulties and delay which would be met Mt the
start in attempting to go and build between Green

the importance of considering the future adapta-

constructed, and the accommodation of generations

every prospect of a mighty future
This closed the hearing, and the report of the
commission to the supreme court will be the next
movement in the matter.

ORGAN CoNCERT.-The organ at the Central
church, having been repaired and enlarged, was
exhibited last evening, by Mr.. Eugene rhayer of
Boston. The qHartette choir of the church gave
a concert, chiefly sacred, in which they were as
sisted by members of some of our best choirs.
The solo, duet and quartette music was well Sc
lected and well performed, and, with the mag
niicent organ solos, furnished very agreeable
evening entertainment. Mr.. Thayer played one
of Bach's great fugues, and selections of his
own, with his customary artistic elegance, not
only exhibiting the beauties and capacity of the
organ, but giving such an illustration of the
higher art in organ playing as we only hear
from him.

CLINTON, Oct. 10, 1871.
To the Editors Of tie iSpy:-Plcase allow me to
state few lactsiu relation to the fremen's
muster at Clinton, Oct. s. When the reprrspn
tativcs Of the four different steamers assembled
to draw for turn in playing, Mr.. Higgins of the
Amoskeag steamer distinctly stated that he had
no regular organized company, but had five men
from his shop. MIR. Fisher, of steamer
a. b. Lowell, then moved that the
four steamers present be allowed to
TO play for the prize and he (Fisher) voted in the
affrmatlye. supposed that settled the matter
and that all were satisfied During the trial
Tor hand engines (belOre the steamers had begun
TO play MIR. Fisher informed me that his engine
SHOULD not play for the prize because the
steamers from Fitchburg and Manchester had
no regular organized companies with them. |
tlied 10 make nm consent and as an inducement
offered TO make a second prize for steamers of
20 upon the following conditions: That
II the Manchester or Fitchburg steamers made
the best play and thus obtained the first prize,
would give the second prize to be cOntended
Ior Dy the other two steamers, viz, the A. b.
Lowell and the steamer from Milford Mr. Fish
er would not consent to this, but did afterwards
INFORM me that his steamer would play for the
prize, but under protest. | was not awale that
the A. b. Lowell was obliged to return to Wor-
ceSter by the regular passenger train. Had
Oeen informed OF that fact, | would have ar
ranged the matter, and given that steamer an
opportunity to play in season to return by that
train.
The engineers of the Clinton fire department
nave made no statement, previous to this, in
any newspaper, and do not propose to enter into
any newspaper controversy in relation to the
muster. They have put no stick into any ode
cayed mess" and do not propose to hold them
selves responsible for any statements in any pa
per, excepting over their signatures ii the
Manchester steamer did not conform to the
rules OF playing, and used more steam pressure
than was allowable, (Which they did not), it
would nave been an easy matter for the foreman
Of the A. b. Lowell to have called the attention
OF the judges to that fact at the trial No claim
OF that kind was made by the other steamers
that played, and of course such claim would
nave been made had there been any ground for

A spirited meeting was held in Lancaster on

OF the weather. Over 5000 for the suffering of

The Washington Patriot says that "Prince-
ton, Mass, was once a headquarters for the
immense and profitable whaling fleet of the
United States, but it is losing one by one, bv
rot or sale, the vessels which at that time com
priscd those proud fleets" This is one of the
saddeSt facts we have learned for long time.
1t is humliating that knowledge of SO much
interest to the people of this county should be
first obtained from Washington; but we will
not be responsible for keeping the people of
Worcester and vicinity longer in ignorance of
it. The Barre and Gardner railroad is doubt
less great benefit to Princeton, but it can
hardly compensate for the loss of "those proud
heets'" But, as Princeton is a conservative town
and respects the authority of Solomon on the
training of youth, we suspect Whaling is NOT
wholly abandoned there.
