to the woods alone, and not returning when
expected, search was made for him, and
his lifeless body found. 1t is supposed
that in falling the tree lodged against an
other, and whilst endeavoring to get il

PRAIRIE FIREs.-Extensiye and de.
structive prairie fires occurred in Mime
sofa and Iowa last week. In the former
State the heaviest losses took place in Mar.
tin county, houses, barns, stables, grain,
hay and trees, having alike been consumed
in the track of the FIRE. The village Of
jackson, Minnesota, had narrow escape
from the fire, as the flames stopped only
within short distance of the place. ra-
vine checking its further progress. No
loss of life is reported by these fires. The
conhagration in Saline county, Nebraska,
which on Tuesday last caused the death
BY burning of seven school children and
Of the mother Of one of the children, is
supposed to have originated by sparks from
locomotives. The flames at the spot where
the children were overtaken were mile
in width, and the grass was very high. In
consequence Of this tragedy and Of the
immense destruction of property a great
excitement prevails in the county. A
meeting was to have been held in Lincoln
on Saturday to take action to compel the
nilroad companies to pay for the losses
which the farmers have sustained.

FATAL BuRylSe.-0 Tuesday night Henry
Hiner, Of Taneytown, was seriously, If not
fatally burned. He was in one of the hotels,
and at closing time the proprietor requested
him to 60 to bed, but he said he preferred
sleeping on the floor in front of the fireplace.
Sometime during the night his clothes took
fire and before assistance could reach him he
was in flames DIR. BRINE was sent for, who
rendered the necessary medical attention,
but without avail, as we learn his injury was
such that he died shortly after. The hotel
floor was on fire also, and the building made
a narrow escape from destruction.

following from the Liberty Banner, Frederick
county We understand that our County
Court last week decided point that particu-
larly interests the auctioneer, the bidder and
the person making the sale. The case was
this A farm was knocked down. to bid
der, who afterwards refused to comply with
the terms because no one but the anctioneer
bid against him. The witness testified that
the purchasers statement was correct, and
the Court declared the sale a fraudulent one
and not valid. The substance Of this decision
is, in plain words, that an auctioneer has no
right TO "run up property on abidder simply
to make good sale.

Since the new Board OF Police Justices has been
established, by the appointments going into erect
on the 4th inst, the gentlemen now sitting as
magistrates have not been aware how the places
looked to which. by their judicial mandate, the
unfortunates coming before Them are committed.
According to an invitation extended by the Com
missioners OF Charities and Correction, the Police
Magistrates paid q visit to Blackwell's and Wards
islands yesterday, for the purpose OF inspecting
the institutions thereon. Commissioner Myer
Stern accompanied the Judges in their tour, and
explained everything OF any interest to the
visitors. At eleven O'Clock the party, con.
sisting Of Police Justices George Kasmire and
Smith, OF the Harlem Police Court; Judge B.
c. Wandell, OF the Yorkville Court; Judges
Kilbreth and Sherwood, OF the Jefferson Market
Court, and Judges Marcus Otterbourg and Charles
A. Flammer, or the Essex Market Court, with Police
Commissioners Abram Duryea and Russell, Colonel
Joel w. Mason and Mr.. Thomas E. Freeborn, en-
barked on the steamer Minnehannock and steamed
for the islands. The Charity Hospital was the nrst
visited and It's internal arrangements greatly adj
mired for the comfort displayed therein. The
Amshouse was inspected under the guidance Of
Warden Marshall Vought, also the immense
storehouses. At the Penitentiary the visitors ar
rived about the time when 400 convcts were just
through dinner, and witnessed their marching out
in squads with "breast close to back" under
the orders OF Warden Lipscomb and his
leaving here Mr.. Anthony Allaire TOOK
charge or the party and chaperoned them
through the Insane Asylum and subsequently
TO MS residence, where some timely refreshments
were served Finally the guests or the Commits
sioners were brought to the Workhouse, where
the veteran warden MIR. Joseph Keene, regaled
them with fine repast, to which ample justice
was done, the keen, bracng air having sharpened
the judicial appetite very materially. At four
O'Clock the party returned to the city, highly de.
lighted with their trip, and expressed themselves
in unqualified terms OF praise TO Commissioner
Stern for the energetic manner in which his COM
under their charge Judges B. T. Morgan, Butler
II. Bixby and Murray were unable to attend.
Rev. George Fl. Hepw0rth who was likewise an
invited guest. came to the dock before the boat
started TO excuse himself for his inability to &C.
company the party.
