FIRE.

DOVER, N. H., Jan. IA fire was
discovered in the main building on
a Strafford county farm about 4:3O
o'clock this morning. At the time
of the discovery, the flames had
made considerable. headway and
many rooms were filled with smoke.
One hundred and sixty~nine persons
were in the building at the time, and
great difficulty was experienced in
getting them out, some of them hav-
ing to be dragged to a place of
safety. Thirteen persons are missing
and probably lost ths:r lives.
The loss is estimated at $4,000; in
sured for $4,000. If the weather
had not been unusually warm, the
loss of life would have been much
heavier. The inmates who escaped
are now clothed and sheltered
through the generosity of the neigh
bors and citizens of Dover. A fire
engine sent from Dover, four miles
away, was unable to reach the scene
of confagration on account OF the
snow on the ground. The fire
caught from a furnace.

DAMAGE BY ICE.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 9.-The ice is
moving this morning in the Ohio
river from Pomeroy to North Bend.
The steamer General Lyttle was cut
down this morning and sunk in
seven feet of water, at Covington
landing here. She is valued at $685.
600 and may prove total lost. The
Elderado, at Portsmout, is damaged
to the extent of $4,000. There is
no insurance against such losses.
At noon it was known that a large
destruction of empty coal barges at
tended the break up of the ice in
the Ohio river in front of Cincinnati.
The number lost is said to be fifty.
Their value is about $1,000 each,
making the total loss $4,000. The
owners of the barges had taken ex-
traordinary care to secure them by
cables, and their loss was unex-
pected. The want of such barges in
case of coal use in Ohio is more
than their worth.

Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia-Does the
gentleman want a larger rate? 5-
Mr.. Clafin-I propose. that the
rate on the bill shall stand there.
In opposing the amendment Mr.
Clafin had read an amendment which
he proposed to offer, leaving the in>
terest at 81 per cent, and providing
thai the bonds shall be redeemable
after five years, and payable in
twenty years. No business man, he
thought, believed it impossible to
noat bond at3 per cent. It was
the unanimous opinion of the fnan-
celrs That b per cent bond might
be hoated, but that it would be dan
gerous to put per cent. bonds on
the market.

that in the purchrse of over $1O9.-
