LOCAL NEWS.

FIRE-The alarm of FIRE soon after eight
q clock, this morning, was occasioned by the
Lnrning of some cotton, the cotton box and the
flooring OF the picking house at the Mount
Vernon Cotton Factory. The alarm was first
sounded by the factory steam whistle, and the
lire department was speedily on hand and at
work, and 1t Is due to the exertious Of its mem
lcrs that the flames were confined to the build
ing in which they originated, and inflicted 50
little injury upon the valuable machinery that
building contained The origin of the fire is
not certainly known, but is supposed to have
resulted from the friction, caused by a gravel
that fell in the machinery. The loss sustained
is but slight probably not more than s., 900:
certainly not more than $4,000, upon which
there is an insurance of 1888 n a large mum
Der of companies outside of the city, for some of
which Wilmer 4 Co. and Wise & Co. are
agents. There is an insurance of 100000 on
the whole building, but nothing outside of the
clearinghouse was injured. While the fremen
were at work removing the cotton from the
burning building large piece of it in the yard
was ignited suddenly, but stream of water
turned on it immediately, soon extinguished the
flames There was another alarm about noon,
caused by the ignition of some loose cotton in
the yard, but twas extinguished without much
difficulty. Operations at the factory, which OF
course were suspended, will be resumed to-
morrow morning as usual.

mosquito lives short, idle life doing little harm,

flowers, having dainty preference for lilies, in

The female is the noisy aggressive sex, and
makes life burden to those unfortunate mortals

reer, every month deposits one hundred eggs in
some cool, damp place, thus multiplying and per-
