fuence of the weather, which is soft and

About half,past twelve o'clock last night
fire broke out in Cole & Co.'S paint and
oil store, Second street, under the building
used as the county courthouse.
Owing to the quantity of oils aud paints
on fire, it was with great difficulty ex-
! tinguished. But no sooner had the tiremen
gained mastery over the flames than it was
| discovered that the office of the county
court clerk had also been set on fire before
the flames were checked, and large num-
Der of valuable records were destroyed
The tax collectors and county registers
books were saved by removal, but the loss
in the county court clerks Office is great,

There is considerable excitement over
the affair this morning, as the fire was un-
doubtedly the work of an incendiary, and
the object was the destruction of the entire
records of the county. Detectives are at
