FIRrs.--Mr. JAMES Bays, residing about
four miles West of this town, lost by fire, on
Saturday night last, his dwelling house, kitch-
en-, and most Of his furniture He and his
family had spent The afternoon of that day
with his brother-in-law, in the same neighbor,
hood, leaving a colored woman at home IRON
ing in the kitchen. It seems that this woman
finished her work and left the premises in the
absence of the family Mr.. BAYS, while re-
turning about six o'clock in the evening,
discovered that his house was on FIRE ana
made all possible haste to the scene, but when
he reached it, the flames had made such pro-
grcss that he could do nothing more than save
portion Of his furniture. 1t is supposed that
the fire originated in the kitchen, as none was
left in the house by the family when they
started on their visit, aud the roof of the
kitchen was FIRST discovered 10 be on fire. We
understand that NJ. B. was insured on house
and furniture to the amount of about three
thousand dollars. His dwelling was one of
the hest in that section Of the country both in
size and substantially Of building.
On Tuesday last, we came quite near having
serious burning in this town. Fire got I'M
der the hearth oe room in Mrs MIRA AN
pERsoE's residence and was making rapid
Roadway when alarm was hiyen, which
brought together crowd Of persons who soon
stayed the progress OF the devouring element
fiouseholders should be extremely careful with
fire at this season of the year. The danger
and frequency of .eonlagrations should warn
them TO use every possible precautions agains

every city in Italy is infected with smallpox.
In Mcssina large portion of the lower classes
is attacked, and many OF them die. The health
Office gives clean bills of health, but, since the
18th instant, the American and British consus,

occurred in the city, some of which have ter
minated fatally" The other consuls think it
unnecessary, as, in their opinion, the disease
was raging over the whole continent of Europe.

LINCOLN, Lincoln Co., Tenn,
July 9Th, 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR-It is not often our
privilege to attend such a Sab
bath School celebration as we had
tue pleasure of attending yester-
day. The Sabbath School of
Hopewell, at Lincoln, announced
some time ago that they would
give public examination of their
classes, at the end OF the secondquar-
ter of their school; also that they
would have other exercises of in.
terest. So as the day was favor
able we found ourselves on the
grounds ready to take notes., and
observe any items of interest.
The first thing to be noticed was
the large crowd already in attend.
ance, although ii was yet early in
the day, which increased rapidly
until noon, when there were proba-
bly, more than a thousand present.
The exercises were held in the
new church, and were interesting
to all who were able to bear them.
First were the examinations of
the various classes by their Pastor
and Superintendent, Rev. Wait,
which were a credit to the school,
and showed careful teaching on
the part of their teachers, and dill
gent study by the pupils; also
speeches and essays by different
persons in the school. After a
short intarval, the audience was
again called to order, and after
an anthem was sung by the choir
we were favored with a speech
from Mr.. w. B. Figures, of the
Huntsville Advocate, which was
appropriate to the occasion, and
was listened to with a great dea
Of interest. After a few remarks
by Rev. Wait and some music by
the choir, the audience was dis
missed and all repaired to Mr.
Simpsons grove, where we found E
table plentifully loaded with The
good things of the season, to which
all seemed inclined to do justice
After dinner The crowd was at lib
erty to find amusement rs best
suited each one. Some playing
baseball, others croquet, while
others seemed to prefer that time
honored amusement ''hirting.
Every one seemed to enjoy them
selves, and went home with gooC
wishes to our Northern friends
who provided the days entertain
ment for US, and with best wishes
for their welfare. But not tt
weary you, we will bring our let.
ter 10 close, promising to let you
hear from us again if such another
occasion presents itself,
