On Sunday last the house Of Mr. Thos-
A. Dorsey, at Carlisle, was destroyed by
fire. Loss 81, 500. No insurance. The
Mercury, in noticing how peculiarly UNI
fortunate Mr.. Dorsey has been, says.
During the war, while merchandising, he
lost two thousand dollars by bad debts,
had seven horses stolen from him, has
had three houses destroyed by fire, and
lost considerable sum as security for
others His losses Tor the last fourteen
years will doubtless aggregate twelve
thousand dollars. And there is no more
Woodworking man in the county, and
probably no one who has met with more
bad luck"

some OF which, it was feared yesterday
evening. might prove fatal. The two fe-
male butchers were arrested and lodged
in Jail to await the result Of their victims
wounds. By the by, the razor seems to
be a favorlte weapon with the eolored
people whenever one ofthem contemplates
