ALARM OF FIRE.-On last Thursday night
about O'Clock, our citizens were called out by
the ringing of the fire-bell. The cause Of the
alarm was found to be at the gas-house OF the
Augusta Female Seminary which was on
fire. The house contained a number of barrels
OF gasoline which were gotten out in time to
prevent explosion, and the fire in the build
ing was soon extinguished.
The fire was caused by lamp which ignited
some shavings.
The firemen were out and at the place needed
within o few minutes after the alarm was
sounded.
THE VALLEY DIRECToRY.-The gentlemanly
agent of Messrs Sheriff g. Co. reports to us very
satisfactory progress in the preparation of their

tlemen are first-class and reliable directory
publishers. and they propose to make this pub

tuting it a No. advertising medium, as it will

years. They were united in life, and

attended his obsequies-the long line of
brethren from his own and other Lodges

those that have known him longest and

pardons and deaths having thus limited
the terms of Imprisonment. An inter

A very extraordinary and lively Incl
dent occurred few days ago in Pied
mont, Va. 1t was fight between cir
Gus elephants. There were six of the
huge beasts, some Asiatic and some
African, and between the two sort no
love had been lost. The trouble was
begun on a bridge. The keeper inten-
ded to let only one cross at time, fear
ing that the structur was not secure;
but two crowded on together, and one
pushed the other into the stream. The
water was deep, and the ducked ele-
plant an Asiatic, on coming to The sur
face, blew a terrible blast of rage and
defiance An African elephant quickly
plunged in, and the fight was begun
with tusks and trunks. The six beast
were excited beyond control, 1t was
soon a general melee. One got mired,
and had to be lifted out with crane.
After they had all been secured, the lea
ders in the fight were whipped and prod
ded until they were entirely submissive.
