The railroad station at Fair Haven,
which is used jointly as passenger
and freight depot, was totally destroy
ed by fire Thursday noon. The fire
caught around the chimney and it's
progress was SO rapid that the build
ing was quickly enveloped in flames.
The Fair Haven fire department was
promptly on hand and rendered eff
fective service in protecting surround1
ing property. There was some freight
in the building, including carload
of paper, but the value of it all prob
ably did not exceed $1,000, though
the total loss will be about $4,000.
Three Woodchoppers Arrested at
Winhan.
Joseph, Robert and Eugene Bel
vile, three brothers, were arrested
Thursday by Deputy Sheriffs Stearns
and Whitaker in Winhall, a small
numbering town about 5 miles east of
Manchester, on indictments found a
gainst them by the grand jury at the
last session of the County Court.
The nature of the indictment has not
yet been made public. The wherea-
bouts of the offenders was unknown
at the time they were indicted and the
officers did not get trace of them until
Wednesday, when they learned that
the men were chopping wood in Win
hall. Messrs. Stearns and Whittak-
er went to the place Thursday morn
ing and found the men pursuing their
vocation. They were brought to
Rutland on the afternoon train and
lodged in jail.
The prisoners were found to be in
destitute circumstances, and all are
married and have large families of
children. AT the home of Joseph
were six children, and the officers
said that the furniture in the house
was not worth S. and there was not
wood enough left to keep fire in the
stove through the night. One bed
seemed to be sufficient for the entire
family.

The Flags Not at Half Mast la Re-
speSt to Jefferson Davis.

The inaction of Mr.. Proctor. Secretary
of War, in relation to the customary
honors to deceased former secretary, is
one which we are not inclined to condemn
from his point Of view. In expectation
of the approaching end of Mr.. Davis the
question had been raised, and somewhat
freely discussed, as to the rightfulness or
the propriety of observing the usual Gus
tom of hoisting the national flag at half
mast over the war department buildings
and observing other customary marks Of
honor. 1t seems to have been agreed
that this would not be done, inasmuch as
the disabilities of Mr.. Davis had never
been removed, and that he stood presum-
ably towards the government in the atti-
tude of an enemy; therefore he was not
entitled to the usual honors. We are not
inclined to find fault with the secretary
in carrying out the policy of a republican
administration, which, like its predeces-
sors, fails in magnanimity in relation to
the South, and is persistently hostile to
Mr.. Davis. Personally we think Mr..
Proctor generous enough to have done
otherwise if he had not been hampered
by unfriendly sentiment around him.
We know from previous instances how
offensive such honors, conferred on a
rebel, especially upon one so rank as
Jefferson Davis, would have been. The
howls from the throats of hyenas would
have fallen with harsh and grating sound
upon the solemn silence that oppresses
the Southern heart. Better as it is that
the cries of rage are not aroused, and
that the sanctity of grief is not disturbed.
A generation hence Northern and South
ern judgment will be alike on theconduct
and character of the great leading men
on either side.

munity. The following programme was

ing, we are requested to say that there

The General Grief.

Our telegraphic reports will show how
wide spread was the sorrow of the South
at the death of their beloved ex-Presi-
dent, and how prompt and spontaneous
was the expression of grief. Action was
taken at once in every city and town
when the tidings were made known.
We are glad to see the action taken by
our Gov. Fowle, both in his letter of
sympathy to Mrs. Davis, and in his
proclamation calling upon the people to
have simultaneous observance of the
hour of the funeral obsequies of the
illustrious dead. We direct the heattention
of our readers to the telegraph column
containing the proclamation.

Given at the AsheViIIe Club Rooms
Thursday Night.

The winters season opened Thursday
night with delightful german, given at
the Asheville 1 lub rooms by number OF
the young ladies Of the town. The large
rooms of the Asheville Club were well
filled with the youth and beauty of the
town, quite a contrast to the staid bust
ness men who usually occupy the COM
Portable easy chairs of the club rooms
1t is needless to say that the floor was
excellent and the music second only, shall
we say, to Gilmore's orchestra.
The patronesses were Mrs. Maitland
and Mrs. Miller. Among other married
ladies present were Mrs. Martin, Mrs.
McNamee, Mrs. Battle and Mrs. Penni-
man. The young ladies deserve great
credit for the remarkably successful way
in which the affair was planned and exc
cuted, brilliant example to the young
men of what can be done in this way,
which they will do we'll to follow.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

In his consistency without peer,
In his honor impregnable,
In his courage invincible,
In his tortitude heroic, and
In his loyalty sublime,
No country e'er had truer son,
No cause purer champion,
No downfall e'er graced by nobler dig
nifty.
He lived the personifcation and es-
sence of Southern honor and chivalry,
and in his death his life stands magni-
fed.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
published in the Asheville papers, and an
engrossed copy sent to Mrs. Davis.
At the opening of the meeting draped
Confederate battle flag was placed on
the stand, and during the speaking, Maj.
Stringfeld brought forward an excellent
life size portrait of the ex-President,
which had been loaned by Professor
Barker of the Female College.
The memory of the Southern leader
was renewed in all of his old soldiers
present, as they gazed upon his loved
and well known features, with sorrow
symbolized by the heavy drapery OF Grape
which surrounded the frame.
