The Franklin Festtv: Last evening, the one hundred and forty seventh anni- vorsary of the birth-day of Benjamin Franklin, was cele- berated at Niblo’s, under the direction of the New York ‘Typographical Soc ety,in aid of the Printers’ Free Library. ‘The ball rooms were thrown open at half past seven o'clock, when dancing commenced, and was continued with much spirit till the aanouncement of suppor, at ten o'clock. The muster of both sexes was large; but with two or three excepti un. the invited guests were rather of the snodbish order, wh le the most intellectual aud able men of the city were omitted from the list. Letters were received from Nathan Babcock, who en closed $60, Gulian €. Verplanck,Luther Bradish, Goorge P Morris, Samuel F. Morse, (enclosing $5,) Jared Sparks, (eu closing order for his ‘Life and Writings of Washington,” Edward Everett, Secretary of State, W. H. Prescott, G. P. R. James, Appleton & Co., G. P. Putnam, (enclosing an order for all his publications for the present year,) J. K. Veulding, Francis Hall, encloving $50, &e., &o. A very long grace having been said by the Rey. Mr. Bellows, and justice having heen done to a very good sup: per, the President of the Society, Mr. B. H. Johnston, in troduced Geo. Bruce, Fsq., a8 the President of the Festi val, who proceeded to speak in an extremely low tone of voiee, but the repurters were placed at such a distance from him, that it was impossible to distinetly hear him, oxi in occasional sentences. He said the memory of Franklin was revered all over the world, but particularly ia this country. He was educated in_ the printing office. Fifty years ago he invented a stove, for which the ladies of discovery that the lightning in the clouds was identical with electricity, and this di» led to the invention of ligh rods, He lived long enough to see not only the liberty of this country established, but the States united imio one republic. The example of this country seems to have stirred up the aristocracy in other peer © toenlarge the franchise, and much good has been done, oven where the fullamount of liberty has not been . He Spas tnermous taxation in Europe, and said be ho at the people of France and England, and the rest of Europe, would, by the example of the United States, recover their lost rights. When Franklin was born, there was but one ‘Rewspaper in the country. Before he died, there were one hundred, of which six were daily. He’ then proceeded to give an ‘ac- count of the imprevement mate from time to time in the Payer press, and contrasted the slow operations of the old presses with the lightning presses of the pre- ventday. The speaker, who was inaudible, was inter- rupted by the audience, who became so clamorous that he could’ not proceed, t h two of the committee ap- pealed to the audience to allow him to goon. When he sat down at length, the audience cheered him loudly for #0. He then rose, and proposed the regular toasts, as follows, each being accompanied with appropriaje mu- sic by Dodworth’s band, and also by the songs of the Al- legbaniaas, who have just returned from California: — REGULAR TOASTS, 1. The Memory of Franklin. 2. The President of the United States. 3. The Governor of the State of New York 4. The Mayor of the City of New York. 5. Woman—The type of typography, making impres- sions for good wherevér her face and form are stamped on the page of man’s destiny. 6. Journeymen Printers—Honorable and usefulartisans, capable of appreciating the highest blessings of an enlightened age. 1. The Press— The mighty engine of freedom, science, and of the arts. Its Hberty unrestrained by law, but self- restrained to the advancement of learning, of morals, and of the broad principles of freedom and religion.” 8. Our Guests—We press upon them the full token of our hospitality, whether native or adopted citizens— whether “to the manner born,” or to the manor coming, either by route direct from their father-land, or by a com: pubory tour through colonial gold diggings. ® The Profession and the Press—Co-workers for the woral, social, and physical well-being of mankind. 10. The Educational System of New York.—-A noble monu. ment of her generosity—the pride of her sons, aud the richest legacy to their children LL.

The Literary and Bene ssociattons of New York—Almoners of bounty for the mind vat ve body ; their mission will continue wie found in our midst. ‘The Alleganians, who were recetved with great ap: plause, sang among other songs‘ Yankee Doudle,"” and the song of “ Rosy Labor.’ Mz, R. A. Waser responded to the fifih toast, and said the committee had shown their cood sense, as well as their gallantry, by civing the toast of woman so early in the proceedings, but, at the sume time, not before zo- yernment, where some of our intensely progressive West- ern sisters would have it. ‘Theaudience soon became tired of the speaker, and put him dewn by dint of noise and mingled hisses. The audience loudly applauded their own victory over this «penker, as SAR RS See Reps TS ae ee said. if there was a class more intelligent than the priat- era of New York, or who knew their rights better, and were more ready to defend them, he had not as yet made thelr acquaintance, He did not’ mean to say that in the aciences they were equal to men who devoted themselves to such studies ; but in general knowledge—in all that related to the progress of man, or that affected bis destiny—the printer was not behind any other class of men in the world. On the contrary, thought and reverie were the necessities of their exixtence. They had met to do honor to the birthday of Franklin, and there was no way in which they could do so to greater purpose than by imi- tating his example in furnishing to young mechanics the means of intellectual improvement. He then adverted to the Printers’ library, and strongly advocated its support. Thia speaker was oe treated to a taste of the impatience of the audience, expressed by shuffling of feet and hisses The Presigext then said would suspend for the present the reventh toast, and in the meantime give the toast of— “Our Guests.” Mr. T. ¥. MeaGimr was then loudly called on, and, on rising, was greeted with the most hearty, enthusiastic, and proionged cheering. He said—Mr. President and gentlemen, the anniversary you celebrate is suggestive of 50 many pood thoughts, ‘and the least practised in public peaking might find i Lappiest reference and congratulation, that it will seem strange, perbaps, that [ should confine myself at this moment to the acknowledgment of the compliment you have paid me, and the assurance of my sincere thanks.

He hope he would not be considered as arrogating to hinwelf any special right in responding to this sentiment. He was glad that the epithet learned was not put before profes sions, for he doubted whether any class in the present day covld appropriate that epithet.

Society with his fellow the important means whieh Goi has de- scogthening of the Christian's piety; but it is not society alone, for the light, and the heat, and the sap, must be constantly supplied. or the Christian plant will be crushed like a dead stalk. What are the peculiar neeessn:ie. for practical piety here? Every man exerts an influence. How much more mighty an in- fluence might we daily possess before Sthe observ. of hundreds of our fellows. If the low #» improper example, he is like the head t turned all who gad upon it to stone; but if he exhibits a consistent example he resembles the braven serpent, and all who lool him live. The inhabitant of a cotton mill becomes so habituated 10 the vin of machinery that he is unaware of its existence. and so the man Who is working up the raw mate! f others’ example into goods of his own production, is so accustomed to the business that he is at times uncon cious of the operation. He forgets that every action be puts forth had its birth ina long line of reasoning upon some eyent occurred or example given. Habit, and the swiftnoss of the mental mill-work, have combined to shut his eyes to the fact. He has forgotten that the simple striking of the church clock, by setting him to think on time oud eternity, sent him to his knees last night for the first time in tem years. He has for- gotten that the angry rebuke ha received this morning was the real source of his sullen demeanour in his family afterwards, and the cause of pain to a wife's tender heart. He has forgotten that his neighbor's briljant success in money-making was the origin of his own hard bargain which he just now drove with yonder simple-minded farm- er. Yes; not an incident attracts our notice but it writes its name upon our ntal register, and we turn in and again to it for reference, either to follow its dictates or to strengthen ourselves in opposition, for every influence is not positive upon the soul. When the heart sustained in the way of truth by God’s appointed means of grace, an evil example ix received by the soul not to follow but to oppose. The soul receives the example. It is inde- libly recorded there; but the Christian heart regards it not as the lighthouse of the port, towards which to press tho bark, but as the beacon upon the treacherous rocks, warn- ing the spirit from the dread approach. Because, then, ina city example is so multiplied, and because it is far ofteper evil than good, it becomes peculiarly necossary for us to prepare such counteracting influences as those just enumerated. In other words, a strict practical pisty is necessary every moment for our safety. We have now noticed two grand reasons for the cultivation of a practi- cal piety in this large community ; first, the immense in- fluence of our example upon others, and then the im- mense {nfluence of others’ example ‘upon us. In both cases we must have the fires of a Christian spirit bright and energetic—in the ove ease to spread the truth, in the other to resist error—in the one case to benefit our fellow man, in the other to benefit ourselves. Let us then keep fast hold of the truth, and this rubbi with the world will brighten our piety, and wi strengthen its firm sp upon our souls. Here, in tls city, is te ‘fairest field. for manly Christian effort that the pious heart could desire to im- prove. 3 toughened, rough jostlin man is on signed for the i ‘The Crystal Palace. CIRCULAR ADDRESSED BY TiB SECRETARY OF STATE TO THM MINISTERS AND OHAKGES b’AFFAIRES OF THK UNITED STATES LN BUROPE. Dxrawranvr or Starr, Dec. 27, 1862. Sm—tI beg leave to invite your attention to the indus- trial exhibition which is to take place in May next, in the city of New York. A private ciroular letter on this sub- ject was addressed by my predecessor to some of the diplomatic representatives of the United States in Bu: rope. I take great pleasure in apprizing those by whom copies of that letter were received, that the opinions of this department therein oxpressed, in favor of the pro- posed exhibition, remain unchanged, and I am desirous of engaging the co-operation generally of oar ministers ae anges a aeaires abroad ns far as it can be pro- perly given, in an undertakin, such ifest utilit erty given, | g manifest utility The exhibition, in its leading character, though not un- | dortaken by the government of the United States, will upon | | | | | Every engine of truth can bo here best used to | whose custody it had been placed was brough resemble that which was the subject of admiration throughout the clvilized world during the summer of 1861.“ Ifit should yield, in some respects, of necessity, to that great display of the products of the’ world’s indus try, it is believed that in some other respects the oxbi bition at New York will equal, and in others even surpass, its prciots pe. ‘The circumstance that such an undertaking can with any confidence be projected on this side of the Atlantic ocean, must be a matter of no ordinary signifieance to a reflecting mind in Europe. The city of New York, as the centre of a system of internal communication, natural and artificial, without parallel in Europo, affords peca Mar facilities for such a purpose. It is perfectly well known that many cau-es conspired to prevent the indus- try of America from being adequately represented at the exhibition in Hyde Park; and manufacturing, and artist States are matters eutitled to the consideration of the European world, they will be displayed to greater advan tage in the New York exhibition than on any former occasion. For these reasons you may safely interest yourself, as far as it can with propriety be done, in the success of the exhibition. To the inquiries which will be often ad- dressed to you, as to the character of the undestaking, you can answer that, though uot a government enter- price, it is viewed with great favor by the President of the United States; and that the exhibition building will, by direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, be made 4 government warehouse, in order toadmit the importation in bond of articles sent from abroad, subject to duty only in the event of their being sold in this country. You can add, that it will be a source of gratifieution to the govern- ment and people of this country to witness the co-opera- tion, in the projected exhibition, of the friendty powers of Europe, and of their citizens and subjects. “You will also no doubt take pleasure in extending every friendly office in your power to the agents of the exhibition now in Europe, or who may in the course of the wiater and spring go abroad tomake preparations for the exhibition. Iwill only add, that the immediate superintendence and management are in the hands of gentlemen second to none in this community for respectability of character, and that implicit reliance may be placed on the probity and good faith with which the enterprise will be conducted. Tam, sir, respoctfully, your obedient servant, (signed.) EDWARD Brooklyn City Intelligence. Cry Court—Hawess Conrvs.—an infant named Char- lotte Story, the reputed daughter of a woman named Mary Janie Cooper, (formerly Mary Jane Stiles,) wax brought before Judge Greenwood, yesterday, on a writ of habeas corpus. It appears that the child was born before marriage to her present husband, and Dr. Parsons, at- tending physician upon the mother, being convinced of her inability to take proper care of it, handed it over into the custody of » woman named Angelina Stiles. -About one year ago, a habeas corpus was taken out before one of the New York Judges for the custody of the child, when, as filleged, it was taken out of Court before a de- cision of the case was made. Its whereabouts was not dixcovered until a fow days since, when the person in t to this advantage as long as precept and practice go hand in | city and detained as a witness against several individuals hand. Every blow tells here; a hundred once. Such views as these, well digested, will, I think, render Christian conduct nore consistent, and make Christian union more effective than a mere name. After this address, an interval of twenty minutes was devoted to mutual introductions, interchange of feeling, and general conversation. The usual monthly miscellancous business was then transacted; and after a prayer had been offered up and a hymn sung, the meeting adjourned. are struck at rd Charge of Burglary agalust Po- Tkemen Kennedy and smith. EXAMINATION OF SMITH. Yesterday morning Alderman Boyce, of the Fifth ward, at the request ef Justice Osborne, went to the residence of Policeman Smith and took his examination on the charge preferred against him.

Weswerday morning, the 12th inst. in the near Greenwich street, when I saw three men pass to- wards the river, on the opposite aide of the street, and at the same time I heard a policeman’s signal (a whistle) ; the signal was repeated as if I was wanted, and I hurried up the street towards Hudson street; I saw a person com- ing down on the opposite side of the street, and when he came up to me it turned out to be officer Kennedy; ho said to me, ‘There goes those fellows that I arrested for stealing potatoes some time ago;"’ I then said to him, “If you have no objection, come down with me; we then went down to the corner of Greenwich and Franklin streets, and while partially hidden we saw three men standing on the corner ot Washington street ; in a few minutes two of those men walked towards the river, leaving the other standing there ; and shortly after he disappeared also; while we were standing on said corner of Franklin and Greenwich streets, Kepnedy requested me to take my star off, and I told him not to mind me; we then walked dewn until we got to the corner of West and Franklin streets, and while standing there for a moment and listening to see what direction to go, 2 noise attracted my attention on the opposite cor. ner, where Mr. Hopkins’ store is situated; we crossed the street to suid store, and beinga little ahead of Ken nedy I passed a few feet past said store, and then turned back, snd ag I turned I saw the store door standing open; Mr. Kennedy waa then a short distance from me, and i ealled his attention to it; says I, “They have been to work bere,” and I then requested him to put on bis star and go in: he turned to me and said, ‘You take your atar off; Lunhooked my star and as I did so, he left me; he then entered the door and as he did so he «truck a light; I then hooked my star on again, and threw my coat open, which entirely concealed my star from view, and I bad my hands in the ‘ket of my under-coat; I stood for a moment considering how to aet, and heard a door open around the corner in Franklin street, 1 then walked on the platform in front of the store to the corner from ten The Alt to twenty feet distant from where I had been previously stand asl got tothe corner and looked up Franklin street i saw two men wal very fast, close to the on the inside of the walk; 1 stood about a foot from corner of the house when those two men came up, one about four feet in advance of the other; I turned my face towards the river, when one of the men came up to me and said tome, “I'want you,’ L said to him, suppos- ing he wanted am officer, “What is the difficulty?” he no answer, but said to the man behind him, “Ar. thie men.’ after which he walked quickly tothe Why, fam an ino attention to what I said, but com wateh,”’ and seived hold of the knob of Tam informed, was Mr. Hopkins, I 4 officer :’* hi three eps towards Hopkins, attempted to draw my club from my _ pocke and said, © Why, what ia the meaning of this? he (Hopkins) made no reply to this; but, holding on to the door with ove band, and presenting = plstol at me with the other, be said, “I will shoot you through the heart, or through the head. if yon touch me’’; he appeared to bo | very mueh excited: as I stood in this position with Mr p learn is Taylor, discharged a pistol in my back; I then turned towards Taylor and said thisy'’’ I walked towards him, and he, still holding the ol in his hand, backed nearly across the sidewalk in Franklin street: he then spoke in a very terrified voice, saying, “Don’t you run or come near me, or I will shoot you again”; says I, “Iam not ina condition to run; you have shot me now’’; I then found there was no use talk ing to him, and turned to Mr. Hopkins, and heard Kenne 4y crying ont “to let him out, and he would explain every thing satisfactorily’’; Hopkins had all the time of the oc currence been crying out ‘‘watch,” and paid no attention to what Kennedy said; at this moment five or six men came from the adjoining honse in West street; three of | them I think had pistols in their hands; I then went to sjeak to Hopkins again, to get him to let Kennedy out when one of the men having a pistol came close up to me, and presented hia pistol at me; I shoved the pistol aside, and thore men al-o began to cry ‘‘wateh"; I found it to be no use talking to Hopkins, amd approached the corner where Taylor stood, who was «till pointing his pistol to sme, while walking in that direction I saw officer d come ap; I then said to Taylor, ‘You will not listen to me ‘¢ comes 4 man who knows me,"’ I then «aid to Ford, “speak for me; they have shot me ed Hopkins what was the matter, and I « Hore is an officer, if yon won't listen to me: again what was the matter. and I told him that Kennedy wae in the pre, and asked him to let him ont pking turned to Fordand asked him if he should let nd Ford replied yes: Hopkins then opened the and Kennedy came out and said to Hopkins my God! what ia the meaning of this?’ claimed: ‘‘ What!

Bunce against the Nassau Fire Insurance Company was decided in favor of the plaintiff. The action was brought to recover the amount ofan inaurance policy for $4,000, effected by defendants upon merchandise contained in a frame building, situated at No. 167 Williaun street, New York, which was in part destroyed by fire, and the goods greatly damaged, on the night of the Sth of July last. Insurances had also been effected by plaintilf g Company, for $1,500; the and Marine Insu Company, for a mount. The rateable proportion of plaintiff's loss aud damage, for which defendants are held liable, amounts to $2,247 42. Payment was refused on the part of defendants, on the ground that the loss was overrated, and the goods over- valued. After a consultation of several hours, the jury rendered a verdict for the amount claimed. City Montatity.—The total number of deaths In this city, during the past week, amount to sixty-four, of whieh thirty-six were males and twenty-eight females, of whom twenty-three were adults, and forty-one children.

It is of great length, and was made years ago, but a codicil added, states that he sees no reason to alter its conditions. His large property is left to his direct heirs, gmale and female, and their descendants. The document exhibits evidence of the peculiar business sagacity of the testator, His sons are named in the will as the executors. In the codicil, afterreturning thanks to God for prolonging his life, he says: “I have been my own executor, for many years, of the sur- | plus property I have received, and intend to be while my powers of mind will allow it.” Marriace or a Cerestiat.—A large crowd assembled at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, South Boston, last evening, to witness the marriage of Mr. Ong-Ar-Showe, a tea dealer of this city, to Miss Louisa M.

Mr. Howe has brought with him estimates from disinterested parties, backed by tenders from persons who will supply, at the prices named, every article which it would require to make three hundred miles of railway, which will be commenced in Nova Scotia early in the spring, for nothing can prevent it, as this province can do its own work, even if no aid be | given by the imperial government, of which it has the prospect.

On the 11th inst., says the Reading (Pa.) Gazette, about a hago past one o'clock, P. M., the boiler at- tached the engine of Messrs. Leize & Snyder's steam saw mill, at the northeast corner of and Rerice, streets, Srpinced, blowing the engine, ma- chinery, and the build in which they were en- closed, into a thousand nts, and scattering them in all directions. The ids employed at the mill bad just come from dinner when the explosion took place. Three persons, all spectators, sitting near by, on a log, watching the movements of the mill, were killed, and several others seriously wounded. ‘The following are the names of the unfortunate per- sons who lost their lives :— William Duncan, a lad of fourteen years, hk 3 in Sixth street. He was struck by some of the . ments on the = and back of the head—skull fractured—and both shoulders and legs broken. Lived for a few minutes, Jobn Eiler, aged about 57—face mashed, and skull and left arm fractured. Died at4 P.M. He leaves | widow and three children. i Peter Shenfelder, aged about 56, a well known and respectable citizen. Right leg and arm broken, face somewhat bruised, and femoral artery ruptured. Died about 4 P. M. from internal hemorrhage. . Wovunpep.—Daniel Schmehl, the engineer. In- | pa internally, supposed by inhaling the hot steam. e is still lying ill, but not dangerously. Jonathan Bitner, the principal sawyer, from Bern township. Face, breast and shoulders considerably cut. Confined to his bed, but recovering. Jacob Kreider, a laborer employed in the saw mill —lives in Sixth street, close by. Received several cuts in the face and shoulder. Recovered. John Beatty, another laborer in the milf. Right arm and forehead wounded. He has also recovered. Ason of Jacob Young, of South Sixth street, was slightly wounded on the nose; and we learn that a | woman who was passing when the explosion occur- red was struck by a fragment, and slightly hurt. ' The locality of the disaster presented a scene of frightful destruction. Fragments of iron, heavy logs, boards, bricks, and other articles, were strewn about for more than a square distant. The smoke-stack flew trough the air over to the coal |, at the cor- ner of Sixth and Chesnut streets, where it fell upon | the scales, just as a man was about to weight some coal. He escaped almost ee A stray fragment was hurled as far down as Fifth and Ches- | nut streets. Loose bricks and pieces of iron fell | like hail upon the roof of the raflroad company’s car shop, on Seventh street, and broke through in several places, A large fragment forced a considerable hole the wall, just below the eaves. The walls and windows of a number of dwellings on Sixth street and Spruce, in the vicinity of the mill, were consi- derably damaged. But the greatest injury of this | kind was sustained by the store and dwelling of Mr. | John Settley, on the opposite corner. The north | side was battered into almost a total ruin. The window sashes were all destroyed, shutters broken ine sents and several large breaks made in the wall. One heavy beam,about thirty feet long, was pitched across the street with such tremendous force as to be thrust one-fourth its length through the kitchen roof, which was covered with tin, and the ceiling below it, where it stuck, with one end pecadng, ike a flag- staff, an object of wonder to all who observed it. On looking at the house, riddled as it was, the fact could iacarcely be credited that itsinmates escaped this ter- rible bombardment unhurt. It is roy that the same house suffered in a similar way from the violence of a storm early last spring, di which the roof was blown off, and the gable- somewhat injured. From all we can learn in regard to this catastrophe, it appears to have been owing mainly to the negli- gence of the en, , in not having a proper supply of water in his boiler. Later from Texas. Papers from Texas to the 6th inst., have been re- ceived. The engineer commenced the survey of the Texas and Louisiana railroad, at the ‘Texas boundary, on the 30th ult., to progress west, via Marshall. The Leon Pioneer sa; vacancy occur in the place of United States*Senator from this State, Judges Hemphill aud Lipscomb will be candidates for the vacancy. : The anniversary of St. Ji the Evangelist was celebrated by the Masonic fraternity of Houston in quite an imposing manner. The new Masonic Hall was dedicated, the officers of the Lodge and En- campment installed, an address delivered by P. W. Gray, and a splendid ball and supper given in the evening. A BS named Henry was convicted, in the District Court at Houston, on the 22d ult., for the murder of a of remark, RRS Houston BMABNGTE us uate we venue prising commissioner of the Galveston and Red river railroad intended to commence work on the first sec- tion of the roadf about four miles from Houston, on the 3d inst., and that they intend to continue the work without intermission, until it terminates at the Brazos. About one million of dollars, it says, have been subscribed in Texas for the construction of this road, and concludes, if its friends at the West, and in Northern Texas, will come forward and aid manfully in the good work, the road may be completed from Houston to Red river before either of the great lines from the Mississippi reach our eastern border. Lieut. Bonaparte, of the United States army, cou- sin to the present Emperor of France, arrived by the Perseverance from New Orleans. We presume that he has been ordered to join the sore in Texas. Theodore Ballow had his leg badly fractured, and will probably be rendered a cripple for life, by the bursting of an old musket berrel, at Matagorda, on Christmas. A petition is in circulation in San Antonio, for sig- natures, asking Congress to open a road from that city to the Presidio del Norte. The distance can be shortened materially, by taking @ direct course, and late surveys have shown that water is as plentiful on | such a line as on the present zig-zag route. The number of free negroes in Texas is less than that of any other State in the Union, being only 331. Towa has 335; Pennsylvania, 53,323; Virginia 53,829; and Maryland, Th,0TH, a greater number than in any other State. Captain H. A. Bodman, writing from Troy, says cotton is coming in tolerably fast, and that there will be shipped from that point this season from six hun- dred to one thousand bales, which is but a commence- ment, as next year they are bound to make a big pile. At about hulf-past twelve o'clock, on Tuesday night, says the Galveston Journal of the 6th inst., a fire broke out in a one story frame building, oceupied | as a tin shop. in the rear of J.P. Davie’s brick fire roof hardware store, on the corner of Tremont and echanic streets, just opposite our office, and the d by James flames soon extending to the , the stove and iron wai cl Davie’s brick store, and the large two story store owned by John Dean, all of which being frame build- ings, they were in » short time reduced to a black, smouldering mass of ruins. A light wind from the northwest, carried the flames from Mr. Welch’s office entirely over the mammoth one story store occupied by C. W. Adams & Co., which, but for the noble con- | duct of the hook and ladder company, would also have shared a similar fute, and with it all the princi- pal business houses on the Strand, in that direction. Had the fire occurred the night previous, when the wind was blowing almost a gale from the north, a large portion of the city would have inevitably been destroyed. Mr. Davie is the greatest sufferer by the calamity, he having neglected to renew his policy of insurance which had recently expired. His loss is $5,000. Judge Dean's loss is $4,000, covered by an insurance of $2,000 in the. Poughkeepsie Insurance Company. Dean & Cramer's loss in goods amounted to about 1.000, besides the loss of $1,500 on goods consigned tothem. T. F. McKinney, who owned the office oc- cupied By James Welch, loses about $600; no insu- rane ohn Berlocher had an office pulled down to prevent the extension of the fire, valued at $250. In the removal of goods, C. W. Adams & Co. lost about #200, making a total loss of about $12,250.
