SAD MIsFoRrUNE.-We regret to learn
that Mr.. Robert H. Prescott, respecta-
Die citizen OF Salem, in this County, had
his dwelling house and tho greasor Dor
tion of his furniture destroyed by an ac-
cidental fire. on the night Of the 3lst of
October. There was no insurance on
any portion OF The property. This is
truly crushing blow to Mr.. Prescott,
who is poor man, with q large family
dependent on him for support.

business community, and we trust the
company will soon find it to their inte
rest to re-estsblish it.-lMarion Crescent

French capital will heIceforth be buried
in the plain Of Satory, where so many
executions of Communists have taken
place within tho past year and half.
