Fort Harrison about the same time but
when the line was organized to stay. the
division of Stannard was moved where
Fort Harrison came within his line, and
OF course under his command. On the
3Oth OF September the rebels, smarting
under their defeat of the day before,
made determined attempt to recapture
this tort. The assaulting columns num-
Dered ten thousand picked men of the
army of northern Virginia, led by the
enthusiastic and accomplished General
Plckett, and under the eye of General
Robert h. Lee, the commander-in-chief
OF the rebel army. Three determined
assaults were made, which were each
time repulsed by Stannard with part
of his division. During the two first,
General Stannard stood upon the parapet
OF the fort, in plain view of both ar
mics, and where the leaden hail was
thickest, and while standing there his
right arm was shattered by shot and
had to be amputated.

time no officer was more determined or

That the fire caught in a bale Of E4-

at work in the freight shed, in which it
originated, for one attempted to put it
out with his coat, hat the chief clerk
SAYS the fire seemed. to burst out in
twenty places at once, and it seemed as
if the whole building went like flash
of gunpowier. There mrst have been,
the company think, an incendiary who
set the fire in several places. However
that may be, men who two minutes be

The Portland. Me-, Fire.
LOSS OF LIFE.

The fire broke out in the great freight
shed of the New York steamer company
soon after two o'clock Saturday. 1t is
said to have originated in pile of ex-
celsior, close to the propeller Dirigo,
plying between Portland and New York,
which was almost instantly in flames.
The Dirigo was all ready to sail for New
York at p. M, and so rapid was the
advance of the fire that quite number
of people on board the boat were COM
PEELED to save themselves by jumping
into the water. The Carlotta, steamer
belonging to the New England and Nova
Scotia steamship company, which laid
just below, also caught fire, and several
people jumped into the water at the risk
of their lives A party of gallant men
threw out line into the stream, and in
the face of a terrible scOrching heat,
drew them out. All were rescued but
one, young woman named Annie Nc
Carly, aged twenty, a daughter of James
/ McCarty, who was helping the steward
ess, and whose dress caught fire. She
was so fearfully burned that she died in
fifteen minutes after she reached the
American House. The stewardess of
the Dirigo was drowned and a man
whose name is unknown. She was
about forty years of age, and held a
young girl by the hand, a daughter of
hers named Mary Louise Miller, aged
| twelve. Both bodies have been reCOy-

weeks ago two men travelled through
WAYNE county pretending that they
wanted to establish township libraries,
which were TO be kept at some farmers
house, and the books loaned out free OF
cost. Calling upon a wealthy farmer
they would ask if he would take charge
of the library. If he would, they asked
him to write his name on piece OF
paper which was 'to be sent into De

flows then cut the sheet into slips, turned
them over and wrote note of hand on

more farmers this way, writing notes
of $50 or $50, to run thirty days, and
signing any name they pleased, SO long
as the note had a good Endorsement.
