bill passed by the last session of the Vir-
ginia Legislature is, it seems, whether so
Intended by our Solons or not, susceptible
of very fine construction. 1t seems to

honest per cent. by soliciting subscribers
to newspapers and other periodicals pub
lished in our own State. The law has been
so construed in one case, we are credibly
informed, as to make such solicitors liable
to the retail newsdealers' tax, and lady
who was procuring subscribers to the Re.
iqiouS Herald was the victim.

lamp, last night, while the top was
off, and blew out with great force solid
sheet of fame. During the fire last
evening Tom Quinn went to look into

in it. holding his lamp inside. Suddenly
there was loud noise as OF miniature
earthquake, and volume of fame shot
up out of the cistern several feet high.
Quinn jumped away as soon as possible,

his face and hands severely. His in

FIRE ON MAIN STREET. The first fire
of any consequence that Memphis has
known for several weeks occurred be-
tween six and seven clock last evening
at 253 Main street, in the building occu-
pied by Mrs. Kremer as millinery es-
tablishment. The fire, it is supposed,
originated in the pressing-room, which
is in the fourth story, by the overturning
of charcoal furnace. No one was in
the room at the time. The damage was
comparatively slight, Mrs. Kremer sus-
tanning loss of about $3.50 on stock,
and Mr.. Simon, owner, about 500 on
the building. Drs. Hurd and Harris,
who live next door, were slightly dam
aged by water The insurance on the
building and goods is in the following
