On her last trip from New York to Liver
pool the Inman Line steamer City of Rich
mond came near being destroyed by fire.
A lady in getting out Of her berth at
midnight Tuesday. June 9Th. found the
flooring quite hot. and reported the fact to
the engineers, and an investigation which
was at once made showed that the cotton
in the hold was on FIRE.
The weather was quite stormy at the
time, and though preparations were made
to abandon the ship should it become ne
cessary, there was no panic on board.
The crew continued fighting the fire for
the remainder of the voyage, but on Thurs
day the steamer Counsellor was overtaken,
and she, seeing the Richmond's signals of
distress, stood by her with offers Of assist
ance, and the two vessels steamed slowly
along until Thursday, when the Cunarder
Servla came up and escorted the Rich
mond as far as Browhead and the Counsel
Tor dropped astern.
A sad and dramatic incident of the occa-
sion was the sudden death OF the captain
of the Counsellor just at the moment when
the Richmond came alongside.

The dreadful accident near Basic on
Sunday demonstrates that the railroad
engineers in the Old World are not much
more careful about their bridges than their
brethren in this country.
The collapse of the Tay river bridge in
Scotland some years ago was attended with
dreadful loss of life, and not soul was
left alive to tell the tale.
That in Switzerland was not quite so
bad, but was enough to show that in that
country, as in this, there is need of more
rigid inspection Of all structures over which
heavy trains must pass.

Judge Farrar, of Amelia, delivered the an

ceived certificates of distinction and few
received medals. Mrs. Reese. after doing
a fine work here for more than decade
of years, concluded 1t was best, for
reasons of purely private nature,
to retro from the school. This
step is taken much TO the regret of the en-
tire community. II is not known at pres
ent whether the school will be kept up or
not. As stated in tho correspondence a
few days since it was thought that Judge
Farrrar would deliver a lecture
before Widows Son Lodge, No. $50, on the
9th instant. The Judge has declined on
account Of other engagements. This will
cause considerable disappointment as an
interesting programme had been mapped
