On Sunday evening a fire broke OFT
in Hayemeyer's sugar house, and in an
incredibly short space of time that
mammoth establishment was reduced
to ashes. Three thousand persons
were thus thrown ont IF employment
and s. 000,00 worth of property vas
destroy ed. 1t was said to be the largest
concern of the kind in the country
and the firm which owned it, have &c.
600 eco capital in their business. Their
loss is fairly covered by insurance and
they will loose only about $500, 000.--
The insurance companies have sus aim
ed very serious losses of late and many
of them will, in consequence, be COM
PEELED to foreGo their usual dividends.
But they ought not to grumble, for
they have made a great deal of money
in tie last few years, their losses for
some time until recently having been
comparatively sn all.
The freaks of love are Incompetent
sible. Several features of the divire
passion having been developed duriug
the last few days. On Wednesday, a
woman's garments we're found on a
dock Of this city. The ciotaiag was
plainly marked and there was no doubt
about the person to whom it belonged
and that person could not be found.
Her relatives were grief stricken and
supposed that her ~lifeless body must be
somewhere in the icy waters of the
harb"r. An ~enayailiBg search was
made, but yesterday the lady herself
put in All appearance and made an ex-
PLANTATION, Eh5 was in love and was
loved. The stony hearted father OF
the youth, was bitterly opposed to tie
match and the object Of her alteration
had decided that lie could not marry
until the old gentleman had gone 10
that land from whence no traveller re-
turns. AS the old gentleman was yet
hale and hearty and came of a. long
lived race, the date of the weGd:n-
under these circumstances could not
be fixed with absolute certainty-in

and ere many moons have waned, the
two will probably vow at the alter to
love each other for time and eternity,
or until a divorce court shall separate
them. Another phase of this lovelikt
or matrimonial b. sin SO, il the quarrel
of Mrs. Clleetham with her husband
over in Brooklyn, right under the
shadow of Plymouth church, where
Henry Ward Beecher discourses twice
a week. Mrs. Cheetham is fair, fat
and hearty and muscular withal. Her
husband is about 60 and that is all tina;
a be said about him. Mrs. Cheet-
ham keeps a boarding house. Her hus
band was jealous of some Of the Iuale
boarders and ordered theu 10 leave.
Mrs. &. said they might remain rs long
as they pleased. Mr.. Cheetham got
mad at this and said mean things
about his wife. She asked him tc
