EARLY yesterday morning the frame
building situated this side of the hub fac
tory caught fire in some unknown way and
for time threatened to destroy the entire
structure. BY the heroic efforts of the men
who work thereabouts, however, the fire was
extinguished by the use of buckets, but not
until hole five feet square mad been burned
into the roof. No one in the lower portion
of the city being aware of the existence of
the fire, no bells were rang.
The sparks issuing from the chimney Of
the box factory yesterday falling upon the
sawdust which had been thoroughly dried by
the sun, set it afre yesterday afternoon.
The fire department was called out and the
hose of the Rough and Ready Fire COM
pany taken up on one of the tugs, which
soon squelched the flames. Other fire
companies started for the scene but return
cd before they got there. But for immedi-
ate assistance much damage might have
been done.
The entertainment to be given on the
night of June 18th, by the ladies of the
Library association, will be of an interest
ing and novel character. Living chess has
been played in several of the northern and
eastern cities with great success; the differ
ent pieces, kings, queens, knights, bish-
ops and pawns, being represented by gen
tlemen, ladies and little girls, making
beautiful scene. Excellent music will he
provided, and after the game is played
those inclined can "trip the light fantastic
toe" or refresh themselves with delicious
ice cream on the balcony.
Mr.. Thos. Halliday, who was one of
he delegates to the Springfield convention,
expresses his surprise that the Democrats,
liter twenty years of defeat should mani
est so much enthusiasm as they did at that
convention. He states that while the nomi-
latlons were being made the excitement
became intense, and at one stage of the pro-
eedings everybody stood on the seats
waving their hats and yelling Justify. 1t
hows good tone; firm conviction that
IS principles are correct and determine
ion to wrench the land from Radical
lisrule.

We yesterday published the law con-
rning census enumerators, which men
oned very heavy penalty for refusing to y
lswer any lawful question which the emu II
orators may ask. AS is well known, ii

ork, and we desire to say, for the benefit Ipt
our young lady readers, that neither of tc
