The fl i*- proof building* were hardly safer than the

Poet Oflce and United Bute* oourta, was built by gov
ernment, to be entirely fire-proof, with nothing Inflam
mable about it except the niroltare and content*, and
with unite nn open space In frout, with open streets on
two sides ; but the upper part !? ruined inside, and
atassee of atooe worlc in peeling from the outside. In
some cases wooden buildings were saved while brick
buildings on each aide were burned. On the easterly
corner of Myrtle and Cumberland streets a wooden
building wax saved while every brick building on the
square wan destroyed.
Heretofore wo havo considered the city particularly
safe from con Hag rat ions. Our Fire Department is excel
lent, and the celerity with which dangerous fires have been
subdued seemed sometimes marvellous. At any rate we
are happy in the bollef that such a blow cannot be ex
pected to strike twice in a ccntury, as all the old and
dangerous buddings are swept Ms clear, and the city
will be rebuilt with the greatest attention to future secu
rity. Our shade trees were a wonderful protection on
the outskirts of the Urn, and to them some bouses owe
entirely their protection.
Our business places are getting considerably mixed.
Wood A Sous, brokers, are In Mitchell's wholesale
grocery on Fore street, and Davis Brothers, stationers,
are Lappy in n spruce gum factory, with their workshop
over a wholesale grocery on Commercial street; while
Bailey & No ye?, stationers, have secured half ot Brad
ford's tool shop.
Looking dowa Exchange street the only building to be
seen Is Duran's block, at the foot The Merchants' Bank
has taken shelter In the second atory of an ice office,
and l'ayson, broker, has taken the front of Nash's
stove store, beneath Barbour, stovo dealer; and
Farley, nautical instruments, has gone In with Pearce,
the plumber, two doors above. The Canal Bank is In
the State Liquor A.'ency, next door, and the Second Na
tional Bank is with J. B. Carroll, Insurance agent, next
door above. Woodman, True A Co. have gone Into
Gait's Block, on commercial street, and Deering, Milli
ken A Co. are at No. 31 on the same street The First
National Bank ha* gone into a house on Fore street.
The Cumberland Bank promises to have a new build
ing for lts< If ; and Lowell A Senior, tho principal Jewel
lers, will has e a new store on tholr old site In Exchange
ftreot in sixty days.
Il is reported that fishing vessels hare carried away
immense quantities of good*, and that much was carted
off into tho country: but most of It was taken to the
houses of friends and not stolen. There were some on?es
of extortion bv teamsters and hackmen. One man pa:d
a hsckman sixty dollars to carry his wife and children to
a place of safety. But most of tho men worked at
regular rates, and one teamster, who lost
all his own property, worked all night for
nothing. Tiionsunds of loads were taken without
any wttrd of agreement or settlement at the time, and
humanity and brotherly love predominated. Tho city
was crowded with visitors, who worked manfully for
the citizens without price. Hundreds came on special
trains and labored strennously. .
The telegraph office was burned at eleven o'clock ; but
the energetic Superintendent, while It was burning, en
gaged a place under Lancaster Hall, where It is now
located, and, tho wires being down In the city, operat
ors were staiioned at the ddptos, and commu
nication was not Interrupted a. moment Mr. Chase,
Superintendent of the P. S. and I'. Railroad, took
a gang of flfty men, and by tearing down buildings pre
vented the fire from spreading up High street Two
hand engines, by saving the kerosene oil store on Foro
street, saved all the lower side of that street, and most
of Commercial street
There Is still great difficulty In purchasing provisions,
hardly anything coming in for sale. targe donations
are arriving, however. Among others, Sherbrooko, Mon
treal, Ottawa, and other Canadian citiee have tendered
assistance.
I cannot learn of a single authenticated ease of loss of
life.

will soon resume here.
In the Swedenborgian parish all bnt half a dmcn fami
lies lost eithor their homee or places of business, and
many both. Rev. Mr. Shollcr, of the First Baptist Soci
ety, lost his house, church and newspaper (the ?<"?'* Ad

were burned out
Mr. Little, agent for the Phoenix, Merchants', North
American, City, and New England Insurance offices of
Hartford: the Harmony, of New York ; Wentern Massa

all of which aro reliable and ready to pay.
It la expected that a party or roughs from the large

Large numbers ot citlxffis, thfirounhly armed, with the
police, and a detachment of tho Third artillery, sent by
Colonel Edwards from Fort Preble, are patrolling every
Quarter of lii6 city. The treasure Is thoroughly guarded,
and If tho attempt Is made they will be returned (Vt
foremost. There Is no gas on yet in any part of tho
city; but the city is pretty well lighted fiom the blazing
ruins and numerous beds of "winter's coal" la cellars,
which will burn for days.

As a remedy our eorrespondsnt proposes that the pro

"A True Spiritualist" objects to classifying such a de

with such a charlatan as Colonel Goodwin. Our corres
pondent states that there are but three regularly orga

laws of the State, viz.:? The First Society of Spiritual
ists of tba City of New Tork, holding meetings at Dod
worth Hall; the Society of Progressive Spiritualists,
holding their meetings at Ebbitt Hall, and the Society of"
Christian Spiritualists, at Lamartlne Hall. These socie
ties hold their meetings every Sunday, morning and
evening. They have no cabinets or dark rooms, no
tying of medium*, nor tipping of tables; they discard
every species of immorality, seek for divine truth, be
lieve In the Immortality of the soul, the life everlasting,
with eternal progreaslng, but not the resurrection of the

"X." furnishes us with an interesting account of the
passages of the United States monitor* Mlantonomoh and
Monadnock? the former to England from New Tork and
the lattar to San Francisco from Philadelphia. Neither
of the vessels was designed by Mr. Ericsson ; but, on the
contrary, the plans on which they arc built were disap
proved by bim, who predicted they would result in fail
ure. The plans of these successful monitors emanated
from the Bureau* of Construction and of Steam En
gineering of the Navy Department. All the machinery
of both, with the exception of the main enginea of the
Monaduock, was designed by the Bureau of Steam En
gineering. The Monadnock's engines are according to
the patent of Mr. Ericsson. The reports from the
sea trials of the two vessels give the following result*,
to which are added their dtmenalons:?
MiantonomrX Monadnvk.
Length on deck In feet and Inches. . 267 289. 8
Breadth on deck In feet and inches. 62.10 62 4
Draught of water in feet and inches. 16.0 12.8

Revolutions or the tcrew propeller*

Pounds or coal burnod per hour. . . .8078 3426
From the above It appear* that to propel the vessel*
at equal speed the Mlantonomoh required naarly twenty
seven per centum more fuel than the Monadnock, which,
as the latter vessel had thirty and a hair per centum more
resistance, leTt a gain or three and a hair per centum
In ravor of the Mlantonomoh.

Nathaniel Stephana, a farmer of the nelcbborhood, the
bead of a family, about the ace of forty-Ira yean, waa
the father of the child. Somebody not related to the Fox
family, bat mppoeed to be on unfriendly tern* with Mr
Htephena, took It upon tbem*elvee to avenge the wrong*
of the ros family. About three o'clock on Monday
morning laat three men appeared at the bouae of
Mr. Htephen* aad aroused him from hi* bed, telling
blm they had a warrant ror hi* arraet for the crime of

tying Ma hand* were made If he did not go with them.
Ha anewered that if (bey were bound to taka him be
would go without being tied Notwithstanding thl* hi*

after the party. Soon two or three more men emerged
from the roadside aad took Mr. Stephen*, a* It by fare*,
from the Aral party, aad dragged him into a ravine, threw
a blanket over hi* bead, partially stripped blm, and ap
plied the knife, maiming him In a manner ton (hocking
and inhuman to be recorded. A* they draggad him away
to the ravine, Mra Stephana attempted to follow and
ree. ua him In aniwertohl* (cream* for halp, bat one

LADY THOKNB AND OMOKOB WILKES TROT FOE
TWO THOUSAND DOLL ARM AT TUB RIVBRGIDB
TRACK, BOSTON, T1STUDAT ? TBI MARI WINS.
A trot for a pons of $3,0M, all* heats, b*st three la
In, mum off ysstsrday Afternoon over the Riverside
track, mat Boston, between the bey mar* Lady Thorns
and tha brown stallion George Wilkes, which was won
by the mare la three straight heats, in most capital
time orer a half-mile track. ?
The attendance was vary large, tha number being esti
mated at over eight thousand.
Tha weather was delightful and the track in capital
condition.
Previous to the race George Wilkes was the favorite at
one hundred to fifty, his recent victories over the mar*
on Long Island loading hta partisans to believe him In
vincible, the fact of Lady Thorne not being herself when
the late matches came off being entirely overlooked.
However, when the first heat was won by the mare sh*
at once became the farorite, and two to one on her found
few taken.
Very large amounts were staked on th* result before
th? horses came on the track.
Lady Thornc took the lead with the word In each beat,
and was never headed in the race. She made one break
In the second heat, but Wilkes making two, she had th*
best of him in that line. Neither horse was considered
np to the mark In point of condition, but Lady Thorn*
was far better than when she trotted with the stallion
on Long island.
The following Is a summary > '

The owners of the trotting horses D <*tor, Toronto Chief
and General Butler have made a sweepstakes, each party
putting up $1,0U0, to trot mil* heats, best three in five,
under the saddle, tho trot to com* off at an oailyday.
The above trio are probably the fastest trotters 'Under the
saddle In the worid? Dexter having made a mile in
2:18 3-6, Butler In 2:21 and Toronto Ohief a half mile in
1 :00. As soon as the stake ?ai> made one gentleman took
ten to one thut 2:20 would b* beaten throe times during
the race.
Dexter and Geo. M. Pntchen Jr. trot on the Suffolk Park
track, near Philadelphia, on Monday next, for a purse of
92,000. The raco s mile beats, b st three In five, In har
ness As Dexter hua passed from Btram Woodruffs sup*
erlntendence into the hands of Uudd Doble, the admire rg
of the horse should be careful how they Invest on him
until they see how the latter driver handles him. He is
a horse of a vnry excitable temperament and may not be
have well with a new man at the holm.
