an alarm went to the fire and put it out.

COMMERCIAL BARBECUE AT CLOVER HILL.
The CIoyer-Hil barbecue, which comes OF
to-day, is commercial, and not a po-
litical affair. An opportunity is afforded
q few of our merchants to visit the mines
that they may form for themselves just idea
OF the importance of the enterprise to the
commerce and manufactures OF Richmond
and Petersburg. 1t is not generally known
that the population Of Glover Hill is about
two thousand but such is really the case;
and a more thrifty and quiet community
can hardly be found in the State, while they
contribute more than mite to the COM
merce Of Richmond and Petersburg.
The number OF invitations extended was
necessarily limited, and it is specially de-
sired that every gentleman invited will find
it convenient to accept. Should the weather
be inclement, the barbecue will be post
poned to some future day, OF which due
notice will be given.
