The fire was discovered before 1t had

that the alarm was turned i'll from Box No.
2, instead of Box No. %, the tremen were
not upon the ground rs promptly as usual.

BILE machinery used in the steam manlfac.

considerable amount Of finished work, Such
as boxes, dressed lumber, &c., were also
consumed.
Rv this fire twenty-five men, wholly de.
pendent upon their Labor for support, have
been thrown out Of employment. Untor
tunately, they also lose their chests, CON

AN INGENIOUS SwINDLE.-The York (pa.,
Gazette of one day last week has the follow.
lug account Of 4 swindlc successfully prac'
ticed in that county lately:
"A swindle on large scale was recently
perpetrated on this county, and carried out
with great skill and adroitness. The facts,
us far rs they have come to our knowledge,
are as follows: About the middle of June Il
person calling himself Abraham b. Kunllle
sent to Mr. George Small, of Baltimore,
whose checks are known to be good here.
some gold, represented as the proceeds Of 4
cold coupon, requesting its sale and the re-
turn of check for the proceeds. 4 check
on the First National Bank of Baltimore
for S32.37 was accordingly returned to him.
This check, skillfully altered so us to call
for So, ,20O. O.37, was soon after caShcd by the
Shrewsbury Savings Institution. and sent
to the Merchants Bunk of Baltimore, and
thence to The bank on which it was drawn,
where it was paid for the full amount oil
50 200.37. III the course of the next ten
days it was discovered that it had been
altered. as above stated.
"The villain who pcrpetrated this fraud.
repreScntng himself u huckster and dealer
in marketing, called on Mr.. Nunncmaker,
a lumyer-dcaler at New Freedom, to pur-
chase certain kind of lumber, Whiah, of
course, lie knew was not there. lie in-
auired where it could be had, and was re-
ferred to Mr.. Everhart, Of Shrewsbury, to
whom he gotanote from MIR. Nunnemakcr,
stating that thebearer, Mr.. Kunkle, Wis he'd
to purchase some lumber. Thus armed,
he went to Shrewsbury and purchased the
lumber. He then inquired whether there
was a bank in that place, as he had check
on Baltimore which he wished to have
cashcd. Lie next called at the institution,
and the cashier agreed to give him the mo-
ney less quarter per cent. for exchange. 10
this be objected, but 'as it would cost
nearly as much to 80 to Baltimore to col
lect it, be finally agreed. with apparent re-
luctance, to pay the quarter per cent. eX.
change. Then came another obstacle, but
for which he had artIully prepared himself
the cashier insisting on his bringing some
responsible person to identify him, wher
he promptly brought in Dir. Eyerhart, one
of the directors, who, in consequence ofthe
note from Mr.. Nunnemaker, said he wa:
MIR. A. 3. Kunkle. The cashier, still mol
satisfied, called OH the president, who wa:
familiar with MIR. SmalPs signature, ant
who at once pronounced the signature
genuine, and the sWindler got the money
and went OH his way rejoicing and no
thing has been heard of him since."

COLLISION IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY
TUESDAY, N1GHT-Schooner Sunk-T'he
York RiUer: Train Deldyed.-P Passengers
by the York!river route from Baltimore re-
port the severest storm on Tuesday night
which has occurred in the bay for many
years. While the storm was at it's height,
about O'Clock, the steamer State of Vir-
ginia, Capt. Freeman, colided with u
schooner loaded with lumber bound from
Chrisfield to Philadelphia. The schooner
was so much damaged that she sank very
soon, although every effort was made by
Captain Freeman and bis men to save her.
Her crew were all gotten on board the
steamer before she went down. The con-
duct of Mr.. Billups, first mate of the
steamer, in risking his own life to save the
crew of the schooner, is especially COM
mended by those who witnessed the scene.
There was full list of passengers on board /;
amongst them q large number Of ladies.
The shock of the collision awoke all on
board, and the alarm which it produced
amongst them is described as being very
great for Il few minutes. All ran out of
their rooms at once to see what was the
matter: but their fears were soon quieted
by the Captain. and the fudicrous figures
cut by many of the passengers served Us Il
source Of merrimcnt for the remainder of
the trip.
The steamer subsequently broke her rud-
der-chain, but by means Of ropes and pull
cys she was finally steered in safely. The
passenger train which was due here at
1856 yesterday. did not reach the city un-
til hall. past u. The delay was occasoned
by the steamers failing to reach West
Peint at the usual hour on account of the
collision. The passengers came up, how
ever, in Il coach which was left at West
Point to be attached to the freight train,
and reached Richmond about O'clock yes
tprday afternoon.

YOnnS MAN Lost for Fifteen Day.
fn the Mountains of OREGON.

The Portland Oregonian, Of July 4, con-
tans the following story of the suffcrings
OF young man, whose personal appear
ance, it says, indicates its truth. His ac-
quaintancos also say that he is trustworthy !:
During the last week of May, Il young
man who had been for a long time EMPLOYED
in the Oregon Iron Works, went to the
Dallcs TO work. After arriving there, hay
ing Il few days time on hand before be.
ming work, he concluded to take a look about
the country back OF the Dalles. He started
on the 3Oth Of May, on foot. Toward night
when he thought to return or find Il
house for shelter, he discovered that
he was quite uncertain us to the
points of the compass = i'll short, he
was lost in tho foothills of the Cascade
mountains. He slept on the ground with
out any shelter, and next day renewed his
efforts to find some human haUitation.
This days work was, like the preceding
one, iruitlcss, and the young man, being
without food, began to find exhaustion
coming ON. One day followed another in
the vain effort to find his way out, until
finally, OH the tenth day, he arrived upon
the summit of high mountain, from
which he got sight of MT. Hood, and away
in another direction a long, bright line Of
light, which he took to be water. He start
cd to 60 to it, and after five days Of hard
labor, hunger, THIRST, and exhaustion, he
reached the stream, and found himself on
the bank of the Columbia river, about
three miles below the Dalles. He had now
been out about fifteen days, without food,
except such berries us he chanced 10 find
and he thinks he did not eat more than Il
pint of berries. He was reduced almost
to skeleton, and was evidently close
upon the verge of insanity which follows
upon protracted hunger and hardship. He
SAYS that when he laid down to rest, which
he had often to do on account OF eXhaus-
ton, the coyotes came around him, SEEM
ing to understand his feeble condition, and
to be impatient for the moment when, re-
duced to entire helplesSness, he should fall
a prey to their raYenOus appetltes. When
he would get up again the wolves would
fall back, but continue to lurk around and
follow him. Toward the last he had tre-
quent spells of being entirely blind, which
lasted sometimes for an hour or q half hour.
Upon arriving at the river he shortly found
a house, and got something to eat OF; the
woman, the man Of the house being absent.
She, however, refused to let; him sleepIp
the house, and he went and slept in little
barn. Next day he started for the Dallcs,
but he was so weak that he was the whole
day in making the distance. of, only three
miles. He arrived back ut this city about 4
week ago." rrrs-,. -

!; SwINDLERs.-The sawdust swindlers will
doubtless feel mortified to learn that their
most brilliant achievements have been sur
passed by member Of the despised negro
race. In Hadley township, Illinois, color
ed man Of property and repute, named
Voad, became acquainted with negro who
Represented himself as coming from the
South, who said that he had brought off bis
old masters money, amounting to $40, 600
lin gold; which he had In box secreted i'll
or near Hannibal. He said the money was
of no use to him, as he was watched by de-
|tectives an6 dare not 60 for it and he pro-
posed to sell out the entire box OF gold for
$50, 900 cash. Voad could only raise ~, 600,
and for this he had to mortgage his proper
ty !; so the gold-dealer obligingly took that
amount in money and Yoad's note for the
remainder. The buyer then went to Han
nibal. where the box was found just as it
had been described; !; but on opening it
Voad's visions of wealth were speedily dis.
sipated when he found its contents to con-
sist only OF u large piece of limestone rock.
Voad has lost his faith in colored human
nature.
