FIRE-HEAvY Loss.-On last Friday morn
ing, at about II o'clock, a fire broke out in
the picker room of Finley g. Sclichter's Irvine
Factory, below the depot in this city. The
pump in the building was immediately set to
work but the extreme heat drove out al
hands. The fire department quickly arrived OF
the ground, and did fine service, soon getting
the fire under control. The machinery in tho
picker room was destroyed and a number o
cards, &c. injured, besides considerable dam
age to the building. The water did much in
jury to stock and machinery. The amount
of the lossis not yet known, but it is quite
heavy. 1t is covered by insurance.
About 80 hands have been thrown out O
employment by this fire, aud it is not known
when the factory will be again put into opera
ton.

RUNAWAY AccIDENT.--We learn from the
Hunterdon Democrat that on Thursday last,
while DR.. Peter Young, of Ringoes, was on
his way to Rosemont for the purpose OF be-
ginning the practice of his profession at the
old stand of the late DIR. II. B. Nightingale,
he met with a serious accident. His horse be-
came frightened at cow in the road, and run
away, throwing him from the wagon and drag
ging him some fifty yards, cutting him across
the forehead and bruising him generally. He
is now getting along well.

his basket and then his heels, and
started flying tor home, and at the
same time neigh boring dogs took up
the bark, and joined in the chase, howl

snarling at an awful rate. At every
stride new dog appeared with a new
voice, and a party OF men came out o

intelligence that Captain RICHARD Q.

ative mention of his character:
RICHARD Q. LAIDLEY, died OF con.
sumption, at his residence in this city,
on Yesterday about | o'clock, a. IN. in
the 37th year OF his age. He was boru
in the city of Wheeling, but moved here
while lie was youth, studied law, and
was engaged in the practice OF that pro
fesfIon when the late civil war broke
out. he became at its organization,
member of the KaHawha Rfemen, and
saw a good deal OF hard service with
that company. and the 22d Regiment OF
Virginia Volunteers to which it was
attached. He rose from the position Of
private to that OF captain; he served
with that company as orderly sergeant
at Scary, and commanded it at Lewis
burg, Dry Creek, and Drop Mountain
Fayetteville. He WAS twice wounded,
once severely, and deservedly earned
the reputation Of a good soldier and
capable officer.
After the war, he engaged in busi-
ness with great energy and flattering
success. He was in a fair way OF accu.
mulating a competency for himself Snd
family.
His desth though neither sudden nor
has produced a profound
pressioh He was well and widely
known. His manner and address were
peculiarly fascinating and agreeable,
his nature warm ardent anu ans"''v.
sym pathies, generous sentiments, schol-
arly tastes and quaint wit had made
him general fGvorte.
