Fire.
!
Between 1 and 2 o’cloak this doming, another
fire broke out. It commenced in the window
sash factory in the rear of 81 Eldredge street,
between Grand and Broome stn is, and extended
to Mr. Stevens’ Loco Foco mail i factory in front
from which it spread before il vas extinguished
to the adjoining dwelling housi No- 91 occupied
by Mr. Urane.
While burning, the walls of 39 fell upon and
crushed the next building. No 87, occupied by
Mr. Hiler as a stair rod factory and we regret to
add, that there is too much rcas i to be ieve, sev
eral firemen at the time were i side i f it. One,
our informant saw, carried ot with leg much
hurt, and he said there were t rce more left in
the building.

No Dornr.—Prentice of t s Louisville Jour

“The late position assumed >y Mr. Buchanan

A Bottomless Lake i.v Icsskx County, —
A writer in the Troy Morliug Mail gives the
following notice of a remai Mihle pond in Sussex
county in th .t State :
White Lake is situated a out one mile west of
the Paulius Kill, in the tow of Stillwater. Il is
nearly circular, and about o c-tliinl of a mile in j
diameter. It has no visible nlet. but its outlet is
a never-failing stream of coi uderable magnitude. 1
The name is derived from it: appearance. View- j
ed from a little distance, it sc rns of a milky white- j
ness, except a few rods in tl ? centre, which by
the cont rast appears per! ctl; black. The appear
ance itself is singular enoti< i, but the cause is 1
stdl more remarkable.
From tho centre or dark ortion or the lake at
stated seasons, innumerable quantities of shells
are thrown up. of various s es and forms, but all
perfectly white. These flo; ’ > the shore, and
ate thrown out upon thebe; h, or sink into .-hol
low water.—Hundreds of I ishels ought be gath
ered from the shore after or ■ of these periodical
up-risings; and the wholes >il for several rods on
every side of the lake is t imposed entirely of
these shells, broken or deco iposed by the action
of the weather, In the ce tre of the lake, bot
tom has never been found, Ithough il has been
sounded to the depth of *ral hundred feet.
Where th.cn is the grant J epos ite from which
has bet n welling up since he memory of man.
these countless myriads f untenanted shells?
Is it p issible that though ft remote and at an el
evation of several hundred ,’eet above them, this
bottomless well may, by s nc subterranean com
munication be connected v til the grand shell
mail deposite in the easton part of the Stale !
The New Orleans Picayfne says :—“We have
about as high an opini n o * the intellect of an In
dian squaw w.io co ls beaijs around her neck, or
the good sense of an Af.iclm who suspends brass
rings from his nasal organ, <|s we have of the brain
less fop who voluntarily elilers the chain gang
and encumbers his person ivith baubles. Docs a
chain of gold, or one ot diatnonds, give brilliancy
to the eve ? Does a Uroac* of stained glass the
size of a carriage even though it be
cornelian, aJd a tint to a Idu h of the cheek ?
The custom of wearing a fgiperfluity of such gew
gaw trinkets is abominai|e, and displays any
thing hut tasie —particulaily republican taste.—
He who is a slave of G-b|-4 breast pins, watch
chains like the tiller-rope If a Mississippi steam
boat, or finger rings that vliuhi enchain the cul
prit. is, m our opinion, dt [cicnt in the necessa
ry weight of brains—a rua a with a partially fin
