Another Fire—lncendiarism An Fnsuc cessful A Hemp t to Burn a How of Buildings. Sunday morning last, at 3 o’clock, the cry of fire ! fire ! fire ! rang out upon the air, and soon, many persons hearing the alarm, hastened to the scene. The fire was on Broad street, under a building at tin north west corner of a range of one story build ings. The first signal of the devouring flame was the dense smoke that hung like a pall along the street and over the adjacent houses. A near approach revealed the fire fiend securely planted in position beneath the house occupied by Mrs. llothsehild, and with rapid onset lifting its crest over the walls. The expectation of the steamer Liz zie Baker about that time caused several citizens to be out at that hour and led to the timely discovery of the fire before it had gained much headway or reached' the mas tery in its power. The cause and plan were clearly revealed. It was no accident, no re-, suit of carelessness, but the work of a fiend in human shape. Shavings had been strewn under the house, and saturated with kero sene oil and then the torch applied. The house was soon tilled with smite and the flames seized the walls. It was with some difficulty the children, some kalf-suflocated by the smoke, were removed iu .safety. This shows that some fiends are abroad in our city, intent on plunder, and that their motto is 1 conflagration and plunder. To be ‘'fore warned is to be forearmed,” b t our citizens be watchful and vigilant against the thief j that skulks iu darkness, that they may es- j cape the destruction that wasteth as the 1 storm at midnight. In this last case the ! early discovery and prompt efforts soon quelled and subdued the flames. In this result the use of the pump on the street near that locality was found to be a cove nient and serviceable aid. Let us have more [ of these pumps at suitable .distances, for ! be it remembered that water is a valuable I aid in arresting the march of fire. Be not as the foolish virgins, who were waiting but i not ready, but be ye found prepared, waiting 1 and reikly to act on an emergency. Mrs *io .tlichild informs us that her stock of goods are all damaged and can’t tell how much she will lose by the fire. fhe L:Ue Fife. In giving an account. ;i our last issue, of the origin of the lire we did Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield a wrong in attributing the cause of the tire to the careless use of kerosene oil in the house occupied by Mr. Mansfield. Wliat wo published was circulated and gen erally believed, and furthermore, the item was not published on mere rumor, but on what was tiieu deemed reliable information. On further inquiry we learn that the inform ants were mistaken, and the report v, ilhout any foundation in fact. Be regret the wrong and take this, the first opportnfiTry, to make the amend. In the; excitement and confusion attendant on a fire, and the con sequent leports and statements of supposed fi.c.s, it is dif.i ult to sift out the true facts from the mass of wind is; consul* rod relia ble. An editor is ,;| c -tee and required to furnish inb'.nuai i> n, ami in the contusion ot such an occasion*, lie has little opportunity to cross-examine witness! s to give inhuma tion, timl the inform '.ats wli<> are liable to misconstrue the true state of the case. In •lie p’ist we h ere tried to he careful, in tile future’we will be still more cautions, and severely prune any statements that may be banded in, even though thereby we publish less than the whole facts. Mr. Mansfield had so conducted himself here as to place him and his family, not on y above any suspicion of wrong, but also of reprehensible carelessness, and nothing less than information received couhl hive induced ns' too nldisU any statement reflect ing on them. Tie* 'acts arc, -hat il ' Mims field was not near the stove at the time ol the house taking fire, but down in the kitchen, in the lower story, and the lire was commu nicated to the house in an upper room, through which the stove pipe passed. No kcrose wis used in kindling the fire in the stove, but the fire had beep burning long enough to heat the stove pipe, and by its proximity to the floor of an upper room and some defect ill the pipy, lire was commuica ted to the floor and partition and rapidly enveloped the whole building The best constructed engines, in charge of the most skillful engineer will, with all precaution, sometimes explode, and fire in a store, though under the supervision of the careful, will sometimes cause disastrous conflagrations. Evils and misfortunes at tend our human affairs and no prudence and caution can always shield us from harm. A Fire Company. The repeated fires, of late, in this our busy, thriving city, admonish us to he duly prepared for any emergency of ihat kind. It would he well for us to have an efficient fire company. In the im n time without delay at once let a hook and ladder compa ny he organized. A well organized and drilled company would he a reliable force, around which the crowd might rally in an emergency and the efforts to arrest files he directed by system and method. This wound tend to insure safety and to dimin ish the rate of fire insurance, by diminish ing the hazard and risk of such policies. Safety, the public welfare and the pecuniary interest of individuals are involved. Let us have an efficient organization against fire at once; delay not. If our citizens had taken *he light steps after the first fire thousands of dollars could have been saved. We will keep this subject before our citizens until something is done T e are pleased to learn that the Rev. Robert M. Lockwood has been sent hack to take charge of the Methodist Church at this place. We congratulate our Methodist friends on the reappointment of this gentle man. [COMMUNICATE!,.-] Hoard of Commissioners. Editor Gazette: There are persons in this world who are born with an innate desire to do as th y please, anil whenever any law or set of laws inaugurated for the good of society conflict in any manner with or ijpero* * this desire these .individuals at oe.ee bee; me disgrun tled nud feel that a blow is struck at their liberty, or that their rights are infringed upon. Bud), I doubt not. sir, are the ohur -acters of those to whom you refer in your paragraph last issue, i. e., the parties com plaining of the Board of Commissioners, de siring the abolition of the same or the resig nation of some of the members; hence the complaints. Such sentiments and feelings as are manifested by these complaints must be very discouraging to men, who, without pay or hope .of re ward, have taken such an iiitiiest in county affairs and who have been so diligent and untiring in their efforts to establish a system of government in our town that would meet the great demand and give satisfaction to all concerned as have the gentlemen composing this board. 1 had thought that long ere tins every citiz n had recognized in this Loud the pow r which had rcsenc*d otir county from tm.li-kw and ruin, and in. m writ ir . • o-day look ;• -r pro tectiou of life, limb um prosperity. 1 f tin \ have not let them bear with me ! *r ,i mo ment mid go back to the year preceding the creation of the board and the year snbse-" quent, or until they became thoroughly or ganized. We find at that time the greater portion of our citizens in a lawless and al most savage condition, defying all authority and given to riot and disorder. Things had begun to nssuluc a terrible aspect; ever} day, yea every hour some demonstration was made which promised soon to end in blood shed and massacre. Persons tell, and with well grounded fears, that their lives were unsafe m tiio community. Our condition had become widely known; capital was driven or kept away; in consequence, our town was on the downward read. At this juncture, the board was organised, a proper police force inaugurated by them and offenders were rigidly dealt with, and now note the result; everything js quiet, law reigns supreme, our county in a prosperous condition and crime almost, if not entirely, eradicated. Now let the dissenter ask what has produced the change and upon reflec tion he will answer himself—mi efficient Board of Commissioners. Again, at the time of their organ'nation our county was heavily iu debt for loans, ne gotiated by ioriper authority for tlm build ing of court house, jail, etc. Under their administration these debts have been nearly all liquidated and cancelled. No unneces sary and.heavy expenditures have Lem made by them, and at present wo find our county free from onerous and unjust taxation. What more.can we expect? Therefore, let us all, men and women, with one accord render to this efficient board the praise due ti cm. ami henceforth rathe' than complain, h t us be found exhibiting, always, that s, li saerilieing devotion characteristic of the good and grateful citiz* m . ... In conclusion I v. -nM add '! -t as the lime for which some of the present members of the board wore appointed will soou ex pire, it would be well for the grand.jury, at its next session, to recommend their reap pointment. This would be some recognition of the valuable services rendered by .these gentlemen, aml would have a tendency to encourage, and stimulate them to go on with the good work which tlu-y have so faithfully begum County. A Card. Mr. L. Eel:mail desires to return his thanks to his friends fin- their past patron age, and to assure the citizens who assist', and in the efforts made to save his goods am 3 store in the recant fire, of his la-tin r gr.iti t n ile.
