It's an impOssibility now (eight O'Clock
in the evening" to ascertain the loss or
amount insured. As near as can be now
estimated, about twenty-five acres Of
ground has beer burned over, destroying
nearly two hundred dwellings and build
ings. The cash loss is variously esti-
mated at from three to five hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is impossible at
this time TO get at the origin of the fire,

OF stories are aiOat, each contradicting

He has started a Central Factory tor
rather is starting one, in which he has
enlisted. and is still enIisting, the co ope-
rative assistance of every Industrious man
in his vicinity.-He offers to allot lis own
land in patches Of 100 acres rent free, to
any Cuban refugee who will put it in cane
cultivation, and he will at maturity pur-
chase these canes from these parties, laid
down at his factory, for something like los
per ton, cash on delivery, aud as these
aIlotmeots are estimated to yield y hogs
heads to he acre, the hundred acres are
likely to give $50 bhdS. Of sugar each,
which, calculated st the rate Of 12 tons of
cane at los to the hogshead Of sugar,
would give an annual yield OF 91,6OO for

A sardins story.

shire, some years since, man named
H--y was elected Mayor, and very
important he thought his position.
During his term of Office a fire company
sent word that they should visit his city
and remain several days. The Mayor
called meeting of the City Council to
see what should be done towards enter
tanning the fremen. He wanted to
show the hospitality of the city in its
most munifcent form, and proposed
that collation. should be given the
strangers.
> Sand what, I" asked one of the alder
men, 'do you propose to put on the
table for the COLLATION. ?" .r
& 3" Ven give them," said His Honor
in reply, hot coffee and sardines. " .-r
One of the council thought that sar-
dimes and coffee were hardly up to the
mark for the hungry fremen.
1''I know better,p aid the Mayor, in
an angry tone. "Sar lines are hearty
and will be inst what the men need"
su"Perhaps," said an alderman, "His
Honor does not know what sardines
are" .sr......

all over. -e ..r..

and put piece of ham between them

laughter. He'd got things, such as sar-
dimes and sandwiches, kinder mixed up
in his mind. ..
