A Fire at Fish Dam.

We truly regret hearing that Mr.. j. VI. Nc
Bride, worthy young man, just commencing
business Mt Fish Dam, had the misfortune, on
Saturday morning last. of having his store and
contents entirely destroyed by fire. The origin
of the fire cannot be accounted for. MIR. Nc
Bridc hal ett the s2rs H5Sut half az 4Sur' TO TO-
ing on his horse he galloppcd back AMI found
the building SO filled with fire and srokc that
he could not enter it from any point. Mr.. Nc
Bride is at n loss to know how the fire origiua-
natcl. When ho left the fire in the stove was
almost out, and there hal been no fire in any
other part Of the building. If it WAS not fired
hy an inccnliary. it is possible that mouse got
among some matches on Il shelf and kuawng
the phosphorus, rs they will do, ignitei the lot.
Mr.. Mciric was partially insured, hue thinks
the insurance will not cover much over 80 per
cent. of his loss

Two Large Cotton Fires.

On Friday night last fire occurred on
plantation belonging to :he estate Of the late
". &. Gst, in Bogansvile Township, which des
trcyei 30 bales ofcotton, burn and stable, the
Gin and Cotton Press of Mr.. William Lawson
and seriously injured the steam Engine by which
the Gtn WAS run. II appears that they had
nearly finished ginning the cotton crop oil the
plantation, amounting to jS bales. and had qui'
work for the night, intending to finish ginning
the next morning. Some hands slept IN the
house and built Il fire, from which it is supposed
Il spark flew into some loose cotton and set the
whole on fire.
The loss will fall heavily upon the fMncriess
children Of Mr. Gist, who arc all quite young
and mainly dependent upon the rent OF the
plantation for their support. The colorcd ten
ants will also be great losers some OF them
losing all they had. McSsrs Farr X Co., mcr
chants of this town, who hal made advances to
the teuants, were the heaviest losers. rs most OF
the cotton destroyed was pledged to them for
tho:c advances.
- BALES BUnNr ur At SHELTON.
On Monday night last - bales OF cotton
were destroyed Ivy fire upon the platform at
shelton depot.
We can learn but little about the origin OF
Of this fire, except that some negro children
were playing about the cotton when Ike fire was
first discovered, and one of them jumped sud
denly from a bale saying in an excited manner,
81 dill not do it, How much of the loss will
fall upon the rail, oal and how much upon rri
vatc individuals We have not been able to asccr
tain.

Our Cotton Market.
Although the weather has hCen very fine for
farm work the past week a Soodly amount OF
cotton has been brought to market, with q slight
decline in prices. 30 bales were sold at prices
ranging from jc to 1850.
II should be remembered that we only quote
the prices given us by the w,ighcr, who can
only give the highest aud lowest during the
week. We hear that many charge us with quot
ing prices higher than was paid. This is not so.
1t often occurs that the market declines the day
or lay after our paper goes to press, for which
we cannot be responsible. We have no interest
