PORTLAND, August 3.-rhe fire yes.
terday commenced at 4,20 a. m., and
spread over an entire block before the
steam fire-engines were applied, and the
Metropolitan Hotel burned to the ground.
Soon after the fire broke out the wind
raised and caused it to spread in all direc.
tons, SO that when the Salem fire depart
ment arrived seven blocks had been
consumed. They stopped farther progress
OF the fire northward, but when all
available assistance had arrived there were
only seven engines. The subdued fire was
half mile in length and quarter of
mile wide, and as fast as it was suppressed
in one direction, it broke out in another.
while new fires, supposed to be the work
OF iEcendiares, were continually being
discovered. The fire only ceased for the
want Of material
Among the losses are 2 engine houses.
2 sash factories, 3 foundries, a mills. s
hotels, 100 stores, $50 dwellings,. i5O
houseless families were encamped in the
public parks. Losses estimated at 81 ,5OO.-
900, on which there was an insurance of
100000. Foreign companies lose heavily.
among which are the following: The I'm.
perial, of London, $4,000; London and
Liverpool and Globe, $4,000. About
$50O,00O was lost in removing goods.
Many persons considered rich yesterday are
poor. The fire was first discovered by the
captain of the river steamer, who sounded
the alarm. The material was dry and
burned like tinder. Many articles were
burned during their removal. During the
burning of Walkers factory, the proprie-
tors offered one thousand dollars for steam
water from an engine for ten minutes.
The churches have been converted into
dwellings. The common council has issued
food tickets for the destitute, and call for
aid for the sufferers from other cities.
Hon. John Widgery, formerly mayor of
Little Rock, Ark, and clerk of the Missis-
sippi house of representatives, died here
to-day, aged seventy-one.

DEATH OF A Useful PUBLIC SER
vANT.-Major Benjamin B. Vaughn, first
Inspector of tobacco at the public ware
house, a position whose duties he had
satisfactorily discharged for many years,
died at his residence in this city
to-day, after lingering illness of many
weeks of typhoid fever. His age was
about GO. lie was courteous, popular
and estimable gentleman, and will be sadly
missed from the walks Of daily life by his
many friends. A distinguishing trait of
the deceased was an utter want of fear.
At the close of the Mexican war, he re-
paired alone from Petersburg to Texas and
arrested Captain Epes, Of Dinwiddie, who
murdered IL. Adolphus Muir for money,
Epes being doubly armed at the time, and
swearing he could not be taken alive.
Major Vaughn brought his prisoner to
Petersburg, prevented a mob from tearing
him to pieces on his arrival, and afterwards
witnessed his execution near the scene of
his crime.

what. The Colorado plateau bug has done

brief illness. at his residence, in Hanover

there is a four-foot walk, hedged in by an

sengers. This bridge is pregnant indica-
ton of the growing prosperity of Rich
