On Friday night last about 2
O'Clock A. M, the inmates of one of
the rooms in the st. Charles Hotel,
in this place, were awakened by
smoke III the room. Mr.. Barbour,
the landlord, was awakened and in
company with two or three others,
instituted search for the fire. They
were not long in finding that II pro
ceeded from the room on the first
floor, occupied by the post-office and
the book and variety store Of Mr.:
Purviance. The northeast corner Of
the room, the counter. drawers,
shelving, etc., was all in a blaze. The
party succeeded In subduing the
flames. leaving that part Of the house
In chsrred and blackened condition.
Nothing pertaining to the post-of.
fec was injured. 1t is impossible to
tell how the fire originated.
The discovery of the fire was most
timely. Had it got under full head
way, the entire block, comprising the
most business portion Of tho town
would have fol: prey to the flames.

Iregrct very much that the Editor

deemed it necessary to write or pub.
lish series of communications in
his paper purporting to come from
the rural districts, assailing tho po-
litical standing OF Mr.. Sanders, at the
expense of truth and justice.
1t is an artful attempt OH the part
Of the opposition to rouse spirit Of
distrust among the personal admirers
Of q man who, though Republican IN
principle, has nevertheless many
warm friends within the Democratic
party.
These anonymous assaults upon q
gentleman who is entitled to the kind

whatever may be his political sfiilia-

are full of falsehood and inhumanity.

that they may expand TO a broader extent,
may well be questioned. These trees, when
not enriched by their summer foliage, are
still objects of perennial beauty from their
graceful forms and tracery. By this artificial

their stead deformed, spectral, and melan-
