MY ONLY ADVENTi:K.K.
BY A DENTIST.
It is of no use to roe for a ghost story; for,
though I have staved in nearly every town in Bog
laud of any size, 1 have met with noe. Railway h
have put haunted < hatnb.out of fashion. Fancy
a gbust beiii# bold enough to venture into one of
our vast hotels! There is not a single white robed ;
customer that would have the impudence to*do if. .
Ghoetelived in the old coaching days, and dwelt iu tne J
quaint wayside mne ; and I never was lucky enough j
to have my bed-curtains disturbed by invw*.fa>e
bands . but I ism not ashamed to own that I oooe
got a terrible fright , • „
In my early days, I—like many of niy
—travelle r from pi%oe to piac**. j#* remaining m
each long enough to pocket all the spar each me
inhabitants were willing to expand on orr a
inents. Sometime* 1 made a large town H e centre
of my operations, and reman am it *or Booths,
visiting the lesser ones in the ueJgnborbood on sta’ed
days. Jt was in one of our largest manufacturing
towns in the went of England tuat I met with the
adventure I am going to give you.
I had been uncommonly successful, and had
made a Icn : stay in the place on that account—rr -
deed I bad -pent some months there when it hap
Coed I had excellent lodgings, and occupied
ree apartmeuie—a silting room. Mid a sort of re
ception-room for patien**, on the ground floor, and
a first floor-bedroom, all facing the street. I always
worked in the last named apartment, and had the
necessary tools and materials on a littie bench near
the window. Here I generally took my eta*ion,
and *pent the time, from nix or *even in the even
ing till midnight, as I waa thens liable to inter
ruption.
Ay apartments were all furnished with gau
burners, and before winter set in. I added a ga*s
stove to my bedroom, that niy working there night
cause no needless trouble or expense to my landlady.
One evening, being very bui*y, I sat later than urfu.*.,
and when at length iny task was done. I drew mj
chair close to the stove, and sat half an hour read
ing before extinguishing my light. You are aw®e
that we made use of gold plates and wire, in fasten
ing artificial teeth , and, in resequence ot nurner
ous orders. I had been particularly we.! supplied
with the precious metal in this form, ever since I
came to tire town. Moreover, I waa by no means
deficient in those pieces which bear a likeness of
our most gracious Sovereign. Being particularly
weary, arid intending to recommence my labors
early In the morning, 1 did not trouble myself to
put away my materials But I was careful to ex
amine the fastenings of my door; and this duty done,
I extinguished the fire and light, and got into bed.
I tel asleep almost instantly, and had a soinewl/at
ludicrous dream I fancied myself a keeper in the
Zoological Gardens, which I had Visited a tew days
before, and that whilst handing some food to my
especial charges ithe bears,) I overbalanced and w ah
just tumbling into the pit among the grizzly biutea,
when the shock awoke ine
Again I dozed off, but only to get amongst the
bean* onoe more. I thought a tremendous speci
men, a perfect Ursa Major, had just been pure ha-ed,
and that to me waa entrusted the task of taming the
monster.
No pleasant thing, even in a dream, particularly
at that moment, and in the incomprehensible man
ner only to be accomplished in sleep, the scene shift
ed to iny bedroom, and I found myself standing tu
rkmuse, without any means of defence, against the
precious creature * advancing open-mouthed. I
thought 1 leaped on iny bench, seized the blind
roller, and as he advanced, dealt a tremendous
blow at him. But, aias ‘ he eluded it with the dex
terity of an accomplished fencer, and I, loeing my
bala ce, toppled head fi r *!t to the ground. The
brute sprang upon me. He tugged—and so dd h—
with might ana main. I was getting the worst of it,
when, suddenly recollecting that. any sort of attack
is lawful, and that one may be permitted to waive
ceremony with a bear, I seized the creature 1 * tar
between my teeth, and bit the piece completely out.
He dropped me like a hot potato. The ludicrously
pitiful howl, and the way in which he applied the
paw just taken from my waist, to his wounded ear,
100 much.
I b'irt into n perfect roar of laughter, and no
noise did I make that it awoke me.
i ww still laughing at this whimsical vision, and
wondering if it had any reference to an apprentice
who was to come under my tare on the morrow,
and who was, tiuly, aa uncoutn a looking cub as
any gentleman need have to lick into shape, when I
heard, not a ghost—they make no noise—but a sort
of uneasy grunt, then a yawn, such a* a person
emits when disturbed from a sound sleep I listen
ed attentively, lying perfectly still, and, in a me
meat, distinctly felt something move below the
bed 1 knew no one could enter alter I laid down,
as I &in a light sleeper, and the door Was too well
secured to be opened without noise. I therefore
frit sure they had been under the tied before 1 com
menced working, and having fallen asleep, been
awakened by the boisterous laughter which had
also dispelled my own dream.
What was Ito do? I feared the moment J set
foot on the floor 1 should be seized, arid what could
I—a little fellow almost naked and unarmed—do
against one, or perhaps more, doubtless prepared
for a struggle ?
Oddly enough, the remembrance of my dream
gave me courage. I had loaded pistols in the? room,
and, once out of bed, should be able to seize them
in a moment. 1 resolved to leap out and secure the
weapons before lighting the gtte, s nee 1, being, as
I presumed, better acquainted with the arrange
ment of the furniture, might manage in the dark to
elude my antagonist. These thoughts occupied but
a few fficondn In as many more, the pistols were
in tny hand, and the gas lighted. The rntrudordid
not future to appear, and the delay gave me cou
rage. I boldly commanded that individual to ad
vance, and take the chance of a bullet. Something
immediately, began to move, aLd I soon saw the
cause of my alarm. What was it, think you ?
You cannot guess I will tell you: it was a wo
man ! I see you are all beginning to laughs and I
suppose you think there is some long story in the
case ; and that a damsel, beautiful ah a llovri , or a
heroine—which is all the same—whom I had wooed
only to betray, had concealed herself there to re
proaoh me with iny broken vows, etc ,eto.
All wrong. The deuce a bit ol romance is there
in the whole affair. Had you seen the coarse, sul
len, ill-favored woman who stood before me, wrap
ped in a dingy plaid shawl, you would not suspect
such a thing ; especially as you have seen a speci
men of my taste in the shape of the lady who bears
my name.
After all, the scene wiw droll enough There
stood 1, shivering in iny night habiliments, pistol
in hand, ready to interrogate iny visitor. She look
ed carving knives in return ; but not seeming in
the least shocked at my scanty garments, though
evidently desirous of turning her back both on them
and on the wearer. On looking, I thought her
features seemed familiar, and 1 recollected she had
lived as servant in the house; but my landlady,
suspecting her of dishonesty, discharged her shortly
after my arrival.
1 was about to question her, but thinking it ad
visable to have a witness 1 commanded her to re
main where she was, and insured her cbedience by
locking the door. 1 roused the family, and as 1
was returning to iny prison r, I heard my bedroom
window hastily closed. “Ah ! ,r thought 1, “you
are all light therefor staying where you are; for
the window is strongly barred.” On being interro
gated, she said iny landlady, Mrs. Wiugate, had
forbidden her coming to the house; but being
friendly withtheother servant she veutured to visit
her.
\Vhilnt talking in the kitchen. I she heard the mis
treee approaching, mi fearing aiscovery, stole up
stairs, crept into my room, and hid herself below the
bed, intending to leave the house when all was
quiet My early entrance cut off her escape, and
she supposed bad fallen asleep, aa she remem
bered till aroused by a loud tit of
laughter. This Teemed plausible enough, and hut
for the sequel, would have passed off very well.—
Hut as we were about to dismiss her, with a caution
not to repeat her visit, the door-bell rang, and we
found a policeman waiting for admittance. He
stated, ti nt passing a short time belore, he observ
ed one ot the front windows hastily opened.
thing was thrown out. and then it was as quickly
shut. After a short search, he found a very large
and sharp Spanish knife, which, he presumed, was
th# article thrown from the window. Jle also ob
served two fellows ot suspicious appearance’ loiter
ing about the place, and discovered them to be
father and son—men of bad character—who got a
good living nobody knew how He had warned
them away, and returned to see if anything were
amiss in the house.
On being informed of my visitor and her tale, he
expressed a wish to see her, and at once rei'ognised
her as the daughter of the elder, and sister to the
younger, man ue had dismissed.
Instead oi libei at mg the woman, as we thought
of doing, we now deemed it prudent to give her
into custody. No one present at her examination
eutertaiued the slightest doubt that, during the short
time she was in Mrs Wingate’s house, after I be
came an iumate of it. she had remarked the mate
rials I used, and that a regular plan had beeu organ
iied to rob, and, perhaps, murder me.
The other servant also deposed, ou oath, that her
holding in my room was needless, as she had abut)
daut time to leave the house uupereeived had she
chosen . and that the visit to her was paid agaiust
her will—she having no desire to continue any ac
2uaintance with a person more than suspected of
ishonesty. Still, we could charge her with noth
ing but the concealment, and after being cautioned
against placing herself again in such a situation,
•he was dtschargi and
The story was much talked about, and I got well
quixted by many ladies ot my acquaintance . but,
after all, the thiug might have proved no joke to
me 1 remained tome mouths longer in the place,
and before I lett it heard many accounts of threats
which tire woman’s male relatives had uttered
against me, for casting suspicion ou innocent Cl)
r*ople 1 had probably u-jured th ir business ; for.
fancy, after what had oct ured, few parti* s would
have b#eu willing to employ my norturpal visitor
in their houses.
Three years elapsed from the dale of my adven
ture, and 1 had almost forgotten it, when business
again called me to the same town. At first 1 only
thought of remaining a few days . but finding !
should be detained longer, l sought out my fonnvr
landlady, as—that one night excepted— I had been
particularly comfortable under her roof. Findiug
my old apartments vacaut, I gladly took iKieecssiou
of them a second time
During my former slay, J made many agreeable
acquaintances, and now—it betfng near Christmas—
-1 received many invitations to supper parties, etc.,
which I fancy were uot the less numerous because
1 was still a bachelor.
On Christinas-eve I accepted one, to spend it
with a fr#r.d at his father's house, where there was
a very larg- and charming family cf sons and
daughters. The father was a fine, jovial old fellow,
and the mother just the cheerful,but even-tempered
Cntle soul, who alone could bring up such girls as
rs. We had a glorious evening
All sorts of joyous Christmas fun was carried on.
and I kissed pretty girls under the mistletoe, until
either with that pleasant exercise, or with quench
ing the thirst it excited. 1 became aflgktfy elevated.
I was to dine there the next day, and my friend.-
would fain have persuaded me to stay all ni^ht. but 1
was det#rnuud to return to my lodgings, as 1 knew I
Mrs. Wiugate would sit up for me It was paetlnid
night when I bade my kind entertainers good-night,
aud with a hasty, but not too steady step, set out on
my homeward journey
I was soon at home and in bed. Mrs. Wingate I
had mors than once laughed about the odd figure I |
cut on the occasion of my old adventure. Mie had ;
also informed me that the two men who had played j
the street part, had beeu detected whast at- 1
tempting to commit a burglary, and imprisoned for
twelve months but now at liberty. The good i
lady man tested no #;n3W uneasiness on my account, I
and cautioned me to be very careful not to give ■
thsm any opportunity of executing their thread of
vengeance against me.
Her evidout timidity and anxiety only excited >
my miith, but I was. nevertheless, careful to ex
amine the fastenings of mv door, and always both
locked aud Doited it
h#n 1 reached my urging* on Cfiris. mas-eve I 1
was. as I said, a hi tic , leva ted. and. contrary to my I
usual custom, on getting into bed. I could not sleep
I began thinking over the amusements of the
evening, criticising the fair faces I had been so
el-os# to, wialuug 1 had such a oheenul home specu

asking one ot the said fair damsels to part with her
came ia favor of mine, and thanking my stars
that, at auy rate, 1 should be a guest at the same
place ok the morrrow. The clock struck two. and
found my thoughts rill busy ; but a sudden check 1
was given to the eurrsat ot my ideas. I heard a
sort of gtaring so#ml. and then felt acertain some
one was moving stealthily up the kitchen stairs At j
first I was a little alarmed, imagining thieves were
in the house, and then—pshaw! thought 1, Mis. #
VV.ngate has beeu sitting up later than usual, to [

my apartment—l became sensible of the presence
of two persons—and uow 1 fell all the horrors of j
my situafiou. Every iota of what had tannery
happened there, the memo—of the two fellows whi’
had then, doubtse*- been disappointed, of their :
prey, and the thought of my own powerlessnees
nearly drove me mad
Fool, idiot, that I was —I had in my tipsy so ly |

I had refusal the cordial jnvitatiou which would j

The young man tumbled over the articles mat

not finding what ke sought, mqurred w.th another
oatfc. wha-.bis father had done with the krffe. At
fire*, tbe Utter seemed puzzled. and theni informed
Li- sue with an equally elegant expletive that he had
left it on the pantry shelf down below
The younger, bitterly cursing him for a greedy
fool, wno mu*! begin to eat before the work was
done, r ade him fetch it
‘ Well, Bill,” replied his parent, ‘‘that ham was
stunning, and you know you couldn’t stand those
ere cheesecake#, but won’t do for him ?'*—
handing op one of my pistols.
“Yea, a pretty thing, fire, kick op a row, and he
scragged for would pay nice y. Fetch the
Knife, and have do more jaw, or we shall wake the
chap, instead of sending him up quietly to spend hid
Chr ctmas in heaven, without, any invitation. ’ He
chuckled, and thkold fellow seemed equally deiigh
ted at his eon's wit, then taking up the candle, went
off to fetch the knife.
All their motions had been so noiaeiewy per
formed and the conversation carried on in a tone
so wonderfully clear, though low that I was aaton
• and at tbe perfection they had attained in their hor
rid craft. During the father's absence the sod WBS
not idle. He actually loosed the Collar of my shirt,
ami then stood quietly awaiting tbe other's return.
You could never imagine, unless placed in simi
lar circumstance, what a multitude of thoughts
passed through my mind in a few brief minutes. I
Verily believe that every Christmas, with its accom
paniments of fun and feasting at which I had as
sisted since is was the height of the table, was re
viewed in turn. Then 1 thought of the morrow,
and the fair girls I had left, and how, an hour before,
i was tail of hope that, ere another Christmas came
round,.J should call one my own. Btill I found time
for earnest prayer, and to think of all sorta of expe
dients to escape my impending fate. Once I fan
cied, now there was only one to contend with, I
might do something; but just then the touch of the
muscular hand on my throat reminded me that a
movement would cause my instant destruc
tion. Indeed, I have often wondered that the fel
low did not strangle me in his impatience. How
bitterly did I reproach myself for not raising an
alarm when the footsteps first became audible.
At length the fellow fairly gnashed his teeth with
rage, and uttering a emothered exclamation of
“Tiang the tippling beast, heis at that wine again !”
he also left the apartment to recall his truant parent
and fetch the implement of murder.
Now was my time, mid you may believe I loet
none. The instant he left the room I was on my
feet ; noiselessly I approached the door, dashed it
to, turned the key, shot the bolt, lighted the gas,
and once more I stood, iny heart ready to leap into
my throat With joy and thankfulness, with my trusty
pittols in my haud.
There was no chance of their re-entering, for their
skeleton keys lay on my table, and every article of
plunder was there also ; fory intending to return,
they had net convened it from the room.
J made noise enough from the window ; my hos
tess and her damsel, now aroused, joined
chorus, and soon, at tbe head of a host of alarmed
neigHbors, nod a couple of policemen, we searohed
the house from top to bottom. One of the men I
knew had left the premises, aa I heard him dash
over the area railing*-, and down tbe street; but
the elder ruffian we discovered, stupidly drunk, in
the cellar, the danger of his position uot having
sufficed to prevent his indulging his favorite propen
sity when temptation was eo strong-
We found they had gained admittance by cutting
away the zinc from the pantry window, their
skeleton keys having made the rest easy.
Bill, the younger ruffian, waa too well known to
escape detection, lie was captured in a few hours,
and both he and his father eventually obtained a
tree passage to a distant laud in a vessel provided
for that purpose by Her Mott Gracious Majesty.
The affair made a prodigious sensation, and 1 be
came ftie lion of all the Christmas parties that
year; and the extraordinary sympathy manifested
by a certain fair individual at the recital of my
story, brought about a most satisfactory explana
lion. My next Christmas dinner wus eaten in my
own home, with her as its mistress.
I have often blt-saed my stars that good Mrs.
Wingate waa not a member of the Total Abstinence
Society ; for had it not been for the liberal plenish
ing her cellar underwent a few days before Christ
mas, in readiness 4br tbe sons and daughters who
were to gather round her, and celebrate tn her house
that true home festival, my throat would have been
in no condition to perform its functions when, that
time arrived.
Thus have I told the only adventure of any con
sequence iu which I ever played a part,
me add, that whereas rich and poor alike welcome
Christmas as a season for joy and thankfulness, I
dojbt whether any feel more keen emotions of the
kind than 1 do, since it recalls to ihind an additio
nal mercy vouchsafed at that period.

the following narrative of what he saw and expe
rienced during the conflagration of the Pacific H - ;
tel. It is copied from tbe St Louis Republican <•;
February 22.
I occupied room No. 21,'about the ceDtre of the !
Hr tel, in the third etory, and waa awakened abv’
three o’olock by a fcuatlin* noise m the hah, and a
faint cry of “fire.” 1 raised up in my bed and put
my haXtd agamst the wall, and found it hot enough
to blister. I jumped up, put on njy pant*, under
coat, over coat and shoes ; then unlocked the dor r,
and found it difficulty w .get out into the hall on ac
count of the crowd. I got rather sideways with the
crowd just in front of Mr. Rochester, who bad a
trunk on his shoulder, and tried to get to the frost
of the bouse on the .Seventh street side, felt a hand
and push on my shoulder, which seem to signify that
I should go to the back of the house, as tbe crowd
were moving that way. All the while there wera
cries of women “Oh God, on Heavens,” which I
heard until, oppressed by a feeling of suffocation,
I lost the tense of sound. When I found myself in
danger of suffocation, I let fail my baggage and
dropped my head to the floor. This relieved me tor
the moment.
Many of flie crowd had their trunks on their
shoulders and dropped them, one after another, from
suffocation and many fell with them. I could hear
the noise es their falfiug, the smoke being now so
deuse I was prevented from seeing them. I also
beard their gasps ir efforts to breathe. I reached
the window, and so nearly in a state of suffocation,
that for the first time I deemed mvseltiii danger of
death. Here I again got breath, but do not know
whether it waa by stooping to the floor, or by a nish
of air in at the window.’ At my shoulder just
then, Mr. Rochester struck the window to break
the glass to get air, but while doing bo, fell back,
and I saw him no more. As Rochester disappear
ed, I heard a running noise in the hall, and turning
around I recognized Mr. Strong, He jumped over
tbe heads of persons in front of him (one of whom
was six feet two inches t<y and went through the
window feet foremost, carrying sash and all with
him.
Mr. Torrence came to my Bide and valked thro
the window, gasping, and apparently so weak Le
could scarcely stand. I folfow’ed after him, an a
like himself and Mr. Strong, found myself on the
roof of a small building on the plat of the back
buildings. Torrence and myself jumped about
twelve feet down on* the kitchen roof, which we
gained in safety. I now looked about this roof for
Strong. Not finding him, I looked down into the
back yard, and, by tbe light of the flames, av him
lying on his back and motionless. I listened, but
aid not hear him groan and concluded he was
dead. Not a word passed between myself and Tor
rence until I discovered Strong. I then said,
“there lies Strong, and our plan is to jump.” He
a reed with me. Ilf fore jumping we tried the win
dows on that side of the hotel, t inking we might
get in and gain the piazza in front, but on breaking
the glas we were iepelled by the smoke, which was
thicker there than in the story above, from which
we had come. We went back to the edge of the
roof from which Strong had fallen. I again spoke
to Torrence sayiog, I would jump first. I looked
down to see if I could jump without striking Strong,
who lay between two openings or cellar ways, part
of an incomplete foundation there which had never
been built upon. I found 1 could not possibly clear
Strong with any security to myeelf.
The fire was making rapid progress, and I felt the
roof trembling under me. I then said Torrence,
‘ if lam hurt I will halloo, ”so he could be guided
by that how to jump. Iu another instant I was on
the body of Mr. Strong. All this from the time of
leaving my bed, transpired in about five minutes,
I rose to my feet, and Torrence came down strik
ing where I did. I did not feel at all hurt, but
greatly excited. Seeing Torrence fall down into
one of tbe cellar ways, I called out, “Watch ! ’
“Help V 9 to two watchman who were coming down
Poplar street. They heard me, and came manning
up. By this time Torrence succeeded in gettiug
out of ihe cellar. I then pointed out Strong to the
policemen, telling them there lay a man either
dead or dying. When they took hold of him he
emitted the first groan I had heard from him. He
exclaimtd “Oh,|kifi me 1 kill me'” “Shoot me!” and
appeared to want fresh air.
I left there and walked to Mrs. Green's opposite
the Episcopal Church on Gth street, having met her
daughters on the way and being invited by them to
go there when I tola them of my esoapta About
fifteen minutes afterwards Strong was brought
there by the police. He was in intense agony, cried
for fresh air continuously, and repeated Lis excla
mations, “ kill me,” “ don’t let me suffer,” “ kill
me/’ Mrs. Green epiead mattraases op the floor.
A physician, boarding at the house, was present.
Everything was done to alleviate suffering. Mrs.
Green sent out messengers to have the wounded
brought to her house. Every one was willing to
render all the assistance in their power. Strong
died in about twenty minutes ; his skull and shoul
der-bone were broken, his nose half torn off’, and his
shoulders and side burned ; the burns received, I
suppose, by hiq trying to get out in front. Torrence
was taken elsewhere considerably injured; the
blood spirted from his head as he struck the ground.
§|By the time I struck the ground, I think no one
whs alive in the house —all were gone. Those who
died inside of the hotel, felt none of the pain of
burns, as they died doubtless of suffocation before
the tiamea reached them. I believe that the fire
originated in the rear of the drug store, that being
the first consumed. The roof over the rear of the
grocery fell second. Next the kitchen. Just as I
lit on the ground, I heard the shelves and dishes
falling, and breaking in the kitchen. Not less than
forty persons, I thtnk. were in the third story when
I left my room, and I believe all are dead. Only
Strong, Torrence, and myself jumped out of the
window. Mr Johnson, one of those found dead on
the ground, hack of the liouae, is not from Chicago.
He is from Michigan. Before going to bed that
night, the boarders were gayer than usual, beiif
more talkative and more sociable. Mr. McNuff;
from Pennsylvania, clerk of a steamboat, who is re
ported missing, roomed wi h Strong and Rochester,
and must have been burned. My hurts are very
slight, considering the distance I jumped, wliicli
seems to have been forty five feet. They consist of
a shock to the nervous system and a bruise of the
right foot, which will prevent my walking for two
weeks. On my back, shoulders, and finger aud el
bow joints, are bruises and sprains.
The total of those known to have n.et their deaths,
either by burning or in endeavoring to escape by
jumping out of the windows, is thirteen. Three
others are not expected to survive the injuries sus
tained by falling.
C. D. White, of Pittsburg, Pa., writes the follow
ing in relation to his miraculous escape, with Ins
family :
At 12 minutes past three, on Saturday morning,
we were roused by the lion-like roaring of our host’s
large dog, and the simultaneous cry of “tire! fire!”
resounding thiough the building. We all at once
jumped oul of bed, and I opened the door and look
ed out, when the stair case, (the only avenue of es
cape,) was enveloped in flames, in one solid sheet
at least twenty leet high. We were in the third
story, and our oase was indeed a very desperate
one ; there we were, confined to our room, with
oertain death if we remained another miuute, and
ahnost certain death if we took the terrible leap. I
raised the window and looked out; it waa a fearful
moment; not a sound escaped my wife or children,
or Alice, (the nurse;) all waited my actiou. I
snatched a mattrass from tbe bod and dropped it
out; it fell as favorably as I could wish. Bidding
ail “good bye,’’ I jumped and found myself in safe
ty. 1 looked up, Mary Ellen (nis wife) waa at the
window; I called to her to throw the children,
which she obeyed at once, and it is almost miracu
lous to relate, I caught them all one after another,
and then braced myself to catch her, which I did;
it no doubt saved her life, but nearly proved fatal
to me ; she is quite a large woman to fall on a man
that distance. #
It seeing as if the linger of God directed me how
to act, and so quickly lor it was all done in less than
it takes you to read this. A lady friend of ours, ou
the same floor jumped and broke her lower jaw al!
to pieces, broke her left leg just above the knee,
and the bone ran through the flesh, so that it stuck
out three or four inches. I think she must die, as
she was also pregnant at the time. Another young
lady jumped out of the window on the next floor be
low us, and was killed at Once. A man near us
took the same jump we did, broke both legs, injured
his head, and was otherwise badly injured. I think
the watchman (an Englishman, Henry Peters) was
drunk and asleep, as I ln;ve seen him asleep when
on watch, previous to the fire. He was burned eo
badly that he could not be recognized, and I think
cannot live. He was in the office, within ten feet
of the entrauce. It is beyond a question that the
dog saved all onr lives by his noise, and such a noise
no man ever heard from the throat of any dog be
fore. Another man, w oman, child and nurse on the
same tlaor with us jumped and were all killed. (ine
corpse was found aft burned to a crisp with his va
lise fast iu his baud. One young man jumped and
did not hurt himself, but another jumped ou him
and killed him All the strangers that were in the
house were lost, those that were saved were-board
ers. The books were lost so that it is impossible to
tell how many were or who they were. No pen is
adequate to give anything like a description of the
frightful scene—so I will not attempt it.
Retribution. —It is instructive to note how the
devices of men sometimes return to plague their
inventors. Louis Napoleon, who holds his tenure of
despotic power at the constant peril of assassination,
because of the recent attempt upon his life, has en
deavored to obtain of the Euglish Government more
stringent regulations respecting republican refugees
resident in Great Britain. The effort has led to
much discussion in the British press, and the Lon
don Times, with a cooluess almost amounting to
malignity, reminds the third Napoleon that his uncle
lett a legacy of two thousand dollars to Cautillon,
the soldier who attempted to assassinate the Duke
of WBlington, aud that he Louis Napoleon, is said,
shortly alter his seizure of the throne, to have sought
this person out, and to have paid him the legacy
with interest.
Burglars in the Country. —We learn that
withiu the last week several daring robberies have
been committed in the villages of Ringgold, Dalton
and Calhoun, on the Weeteru and Atlantic Railroad.
In tne two former places, the burglars seem to have
a deckled fancy for watches, jewelry, &c. In the
latter place the Railroad agent’s office was broken
into ; but wbon our informant left, the extent of the
robbery had not been ascertained. It has been
suggested that the depredators at those various
points belong to one aud the same party, and are
probably making their way down the road in this
direction. We therefore give our citizens finitely
warning. Il auy of these “gentlemen of the fancy “
pay Atlanta a visit we hope they will have such h
reception as they deserve. Our vigilant Marshals
and Police will doubtless be ou the look out.—At

Important from San Domingo.— End of the
War. —Advices have been reoeived from the Do
minican republic to the ?th of Jandary. Bar* hav
ing offered to surrender, and to deliver up bis com
mand to Santa Anna was on the point of leaving
the presidency. The consuls of England France
and Spain were charged with preventing the pro
ject of capituiatiou. Santa Anna insisted that ail
the points be formally and solemnly reduced to wri
ting. Baez had been deserted by the vessels of war
which till then had been faithfuMo him, and on the
other side, the force# of his antagonist were superior
to his. It isasserted that the new government which
is to be installed in St. Domingo will be moderate
and exercise no acts of revenge.
Sorghum Molasses for Ink Rollers —li is sta
ted on tbe authority of a crack pressman, that rol
lers made from Chinese sugar cane molasses are far
superior to thoee made with any other kind The
Sorghum syrup will bear long boiling without dan
ger of granulation, and when cast into a roller is
much tougher, more elastic, and has better suction
than thoee made by the material in common use.
The proportions of syrup and glue used in the com
position of this roller are the same as those in use
among printers now.
Antidote to Strychnia.— The success of cam
phor as an antidote to strychnia, in the two cases
reported last year by Dr. Rochester, of Buffalo,
prompted to its trial in a recent vase, reported at
length in the Virginia Medical Journal, by Dr. Clair
borne, of Petersburg. Tbe strychnia was taken
with suicidal intent, in a dose of two grains, and
the patient was not seen until tetanic and epileptic
spasms ot intense violence had supervened, which
continued for hours, until 1 dram ot oamphor had
been administered in doses of lb to 6 grains every
half hour, when they ceased, and the patient recov
ered.
Hurricane in Hart County —By a letter re
oeived from a friend, we learn that the southern
portion of Hart county was visited by a violent
hurricane, accompanied with hail, on tne ITthult,
which destroyed houses, knees, and in fact every
thing which happened io be in ite course. It was
however, confined to a narrow channel. — Adw*-i

HAVRE, riab. 11.—The Arago steamer, by which I
wrote you, left onr port yesterday morning.
The demand in cur Cotton market was a moderate
o.ie; the sa es of the day were 1,200 bales, without any
change in prices. ....
q hi 3 n.orn ng the state of thmgs is the same, and it is
probab-e that about 1.000 bales will change hands during
the day.
For other articles tbe demand is dulL We have no
thing to add to our yesterday report. Freight is scarce.
A revival in the export trade is not looked for before
next Spring.
SAVANNAH, March s.— C<.tton— The week under
review opened with a brisk enquiry, the demand being
chiefly fir the better grades, which were in limited sup
ply, *stte market had been culled of the choice elec
ti *ns, leaving on sale m.xed lots which were no: so de
-6 rafale. The sales however, were fair, footing 1,771
bales, and prices had an advancing tendency. The ac
tivity continued during Saturday, when the reduced of
fering stock enabled holdera t estab.ish an advance of 2
to ic., at wtich rate 1,40d bales changed Lands. On Sa
turday night the America's accoun*s were received, an
nounci g an ad vance in Liverpool of 4d , with sales of
TT.OCObaies, aud favorable news from Manchester. On
Monday the weather was so rainy that but lew buyers
woreou- ‘lhe transactions were, therefore, small—
footing only 621 bales, at irregular prices, ranging from
ito ic. advance More activity was exhib.ted on Tues
day, and full prices readily obtained; sales 1,469 bales.
Or. Wednesday the demand appeared to slacken, and
buyers not so anxious to take hold—onlyß2l bales were
sold, the market closing quiet.
On Thursday the demand was dull and market droop
ing. Holders could sell to a willing buyer at our quota
tions, but if sales were pressed, concessions would have
to be made The sales of the day foot 1.404 bales. We
offer tbe follow ing quotations, which show an advance

Corn —The arrivals of Corn have been heavy, and
buyers demand lower prices, without ga ning any ma

from wharf at 70c and resold in lot* at 72Ac. We learn
that sales have been made ir. m wharf in lots of 100 to

Sugars— We have do sa’es to report. There have

Exchanges—l n all descriptions of Exchange our mar

generally conceded by the banks that under the late
law a greater rate than 7 per cent per annum cannot
be charged aud they are governed accordingly. Those
who are offering time bills are feeling the inconvenience
produced by ihis law, ani would prefer to pay a late
governed by supply and demand ; tor then, ttere would
he some certainty in negotiating. As it is, our banks
have no inducement to take them, except to supply
themselves with Exchange ; when this is done, tbe
overplus is a burden, which eats up the pro tits. The
bauks are now tupplying sight checks on New York in
any sums at £ per coat premium, aad sales were made
yesterday for sums at 4 per cent premium. The
probability is that in a short time it will be at par.

Rice —There was quite an active demand for this arti
cle up to the close of business of Tuesday, and the
pi ices of the previous week were well sustained ; since
that period, however, the market has been partially
neglected, or rather, wa should have said, tlse qualities
below common prone, and t e week closes will these
descriptions rather in favor of purchasers, wlrle the
higher grades, from their conticued scaicity, have com
manded full rates. The receipts 5182 tierces, have
mostly been sold at 34 to 34, principally within the
range of s3g®34 per lnmApL
Com— The receipts of Xoru since our last comprise
about 13 000 bushes, which have been sold within the
range of our quotations, vz : 68®68c per bushel.
Hay— The market is largely supplied at prese ;t, and
closes fieavi y at 85c., and we have doubt if sales couid
b3 made in any quantity even at this quotation.
Bacon —The tiansactionsin rides have not exhibited
that degree of firmness that characterised the transac
tions of tbe previous week, but as we have no positive
reduction to record, we have 1 euewed our quotations of
the 26th ul- ~ but would add that the bulk of the sales
have been made at 104 and 104 c. Shoulders have de
clined 4c. per 16. The sale* have been principally at
BJe. Ilams are altogether nominal.
.s 'alt —The receipts since our last reach upwards of
9200 sacks, which had been sold to arrive at 552)60
The demand; which had been limited, has been supplied
in quantities to suit purchasers, at prices ranging from
55 to 65c. per sack.
Rope— A good deal of attention has been drawn to this
artic e, wh ch, however, have been speculative in its
character, and has resulted in the sale of upwards of 1500
ceils Western at prices ranging from 8429 cents, chiefly
at 84c.
Domestic Liquors —We note sales from first hands of
upwards of 300 bbls Western amU Baltimore Whisky at
prices ranging from 24 to 25c.
Sugars— There has been a very fair demand for Su
gars this week, aud upwards of 400 lihds have changed
hands. The run upon Louisiana descriptions has been
confined principally to the better descriptions. The
transactions show a range of figures extending from6£
to Bc., mostly, however, within the margin of72>Bc
A bout 75 hhds. Muscovado, of the old acd new crop,
have been sold at prices ranging from 6to 64c. A car
go of Trinidad, consisting ©f 106 hhds. 20 tcs. and 20 bbls.
received since our last, remained unsold when our re
port closed.
Coffee —The stock on hand at pres nt is very light.—
Rio, which constitutes the stock, is in the hancs of job
bers. and is beiog sold out in small lots at l 0 to 104-c.
Molasses— The receipts since onr last reach about 350
hhds. and 60 bbls. Cuba description, which have all been
disposed of. The sales were made at 194 2-20 in hhds.,
and 21c. in bbls. Some 10 casks Trinidad brought 22
cents.
Exchanges —The transactions of the week, in Sterling,
60 far as reference is made to Bank operations, have
about sustained the quotations of the 26th ult., if we ex
cept those made towards the close of the week, which
show a declining tendency in the inarnet. Francs re
main about the same as previously reported. An active
business Las been done in Sight Exchange on New York
at 421 per.ceut prem., the c losing rates, however, at i
21 per cent.
Freights —A vessel has been taken up to load with
C tton to Liverpool at 11-32d for square bags. New-
York at 5 16® le.
NASHVILLE, March 4.— Cotton— At the date of our
last weekly report, 25th ult., Cotton was selling briskly
at 8 2104 c. per It). The market continued active up to
Monday evening without any change in prices, about
600 bales changing hands. Tuesday, later advices from
Europe reporting an advance of id. in Liverpool were
published, giving more vivacity to buyers, and about 150
bales changed hands, mostly at the figures quoted above,
but several small lots tigher, one very superior lot at
104 c. Yesterday there were about 250 bales sold at 84®
10 70. Our warehouses are pretty full, and receipts are
heavy daily.
Tobacco —Continues to come in freely, aud the market
improves ahnost daily. The sales of the week amount
to 125 hhds. at $4 59.80.
Flour —There have been no fluctuations in tbe prices
of this staple article. The supply is lar e. quality very
