THE CAM DEN FIRE?
On Saturday morning last about: 4

The groater portion-of the Rooda in tho

office wero 'saved. Mr. Moronoy's losi

by tho fire, as all the buildings dns -

SOLICITOR BUTTZ?ATTEMPT TO
TAKE HIS LIFE?.
A considerable stir was created iu the
neighborhood of the Charleston Court
hlSiso about half-past one o'clock on I
Monday, afternoon hv*t by an affray, in1
which Solicitor. .C W ISuttsS was shot iu
two places ?.byr,.Detective Win Ilord,
colored. Hord, it seems, had threaten
ed Cnpt. Ilcndricks in King Street on
the previous Saturday night, and the
latter, on Monday morning obtained u
wariast for Kord's arrest from Justice
Levy, who allowed the accused a few
hours in winch to obtain $1,000 bail.
"During this interval Ilord, who wasi
somewhat under the iufluence of liquo r,
approachcd|*B^ttz, according to|iocoiiiits
iuiportunmg htm to become his sccur ity
Whatever passed between thoiu, Solic.
tor dlnttz gave him no cncouragcuicut,^ ?
and walked off into the court iu tho
rear of the Courthouse, lie bad not
been there many minutes when Ilord
again came up, and drawing out his
) istol fired squarely at Solicitor Buttz
the ball passing through the left lappel
of tho coat, through tho etat, waistcoat
and underclothing, and inflicting a
sliuh't wound on the left breast, just
below tjbo" (jollar bone. Buttz then
turned, a no Ilord fired again, the ba'q
this time taking effect iu the Solicitor's
left hip, and causing a slight flesh
wound. Hord" firod"~*^^tSiher-HTTTC*?,
both of which missed their aim, and
before he could fire the fifth he was
burled to the ground by bystanders and
secured. The .pistol was a Cull's army
'live-shooter.' lloid' was immediately
arrested upd sent to jail. We trust
that the man who thus attempted to
deprive this Circuit of.so faithful a i 1
ctficieiit^m officer, will receive the
severest'punishment of the Uw.

which stood up as mute reminders of the
terrible confiatjation which had so,com
plctcly razed -to(the grouud the beauty
of<4)rapgebur^. 'I'll:! savings of many

wero, with tho lurid fluni is, aud b:i 1 e
adieu to the placo that would.know
them no more forever;' In Ulis mrione r
fond hopes were blighted, strong Cuor
gies paralyzed, and some of our best
?Citizens reduced to circumstances which
they had never thought were in
store fore them. But this sad cha pter
in their lives had been written by the all
consuming breath of fire upon the tahlits
of sorrowing memories, and lou.^ will

other than sorrowful on the anniversaries
to come of the 5tii day of January, 1875
A new Spring, it is true, is upon us, but
the vcrd'incy', the flowers and the per
fumes which it will usher into new life,
will not obliterate the remembernico of
?tho fire nor restore to Ornngeburg her
origiual beauty.
But as man proposes, and Ood di 8
poses, and as our old office was disipo-ied
of in a very summary way, wo propose
to disposo of the dark side of this pie
