FmE.—On Tuesday evening of last week, a
fire broke out in a barn. belonging to and near
the dwelling ofwidow Buckingham St. John of
this place. ‘The barn was filled with hay, and
was altogether destroyed. Through the ac'tivi-
ty ofthe fire company, with their pitiful apology
of an engine, another barn, standing within a
few feet ofthe above. the property of Col. Lock-
wood, was saved. The origin of the fire, we be-
lieve has not been ascertained.
We might take this occasion to urgegihe ‘ne-
cessity of providing a suitable engine for the se-
curify of our compact and exposed borough, but
as those most interested seem to prefer the liaz-
ard of a general couflagration to the trifling ex-
pense of an engine, we will be mum.
“THE RAisiNe.”—The raising of the frame
of the church edifice now in the course of build-
ing by the Episcopal society of this place, was
completed last week. Notwithstanding the ex-
tent and difficulty of the work, it was accom-
plished without accident. Although there was
some falling of timbers in one or two instances
it resulted in no personal injury to any one.
DODIESTIC SILK.——VVe have been shown a
a specimen of sewing silk, manufactured from
cocoons ofltliis years production, in the family
of Mr. Lewis Whitney of this town. The silk
was ofthe natural color—a pearl white. and in
respectjo evenness, softness and lustre. appear-
ed to be unsurpassed by the imported article.
Mr. W. informs us thathis experiments thus far
have been sufficiently encouraging to induce a
continuance of them.
MAKE WAY FOR Nor.wALxl-On Friday
last, the lady of Mr. Wray, tobacconist of this
town, presented her husband With t/tree (wins.
as an Irishman might say. Unfortunately,
however, we have to state, they did not sur-
vive to swell the next census; still, Mr. \V.
should be considered as “deserving well of his
country.”

]lIy.9te7'iou.s A_/fa.2'7'—Extract of a letter,
dated, Nassau (N. P.) 27th Augtist, 1840,
received in New Orleans via Havana.
“ A singular circumstance occured a fetv
days ago. A large French ship from Ham-
burg bound for Havana. was picked up by one
of our little wreckers about a fortnight ago,
quite deserted. She was afloat with no sail
set but a jib—-not the least injured-having
a valuable cargo of wines, silks, fruits, &c.
and all in good order, and her papers and ev-
ery thing on board in their proper places.
1Vhen sounded, three feet water was found
in her hold, which was immediately pumped
out; and it was discovered that she had no
leak. A few poultry and a cat onlywcre
found alive. There were a number of ca-
ges, with Canary birds, apparently starved
to death. I have seen one of the persons
who first went on board, and he says thutthe
cabin and state rooms were elegantly fur-
nished, and had all the appearance of passen-
gers having just stepped out of them-—-one in
particular had a ladies toilet, combs, brushes,
&.c., on a settee lay a bonnett. shawl, work
box, needles, thimbles, &c. as if that minute
laid down. There are many cases on board
addressed to different merchants in Havana,
and the‘Vessel by which I am now writing is
dispatched to gain some information on the
subject. She isa large new ship, built this
year, named the Rosalie.”
Loco Focos in JlIai71.c.—The Legislature
of Maine, are new holding an extra session,
for the express and exclusive purpose of re-
vising the statutes—and one oftheir first acts
has been to pass a law, altering the character
ofthe elections in the frontier towns and
plantations, and opening :1 way by which
fraudulent votes can be Qibtained to an al-
most indefinite e.\'tent—-and this law is to
go into operation ?:7)l7)lc(l’i(LlelfI/—-lltat it may
operate on the November election.
It is whispered that they have other ob-
jects in View of a still more objectionable
character, which they will bring forward
strained by a fear ofa spontaneous outbreak
of popular indignation.

Sickness in the Counlrjlj about Ncu:-02*
of the prevalence of sickness extensively
through the country parishes. Many per-
sons who deserted the city for the sake of
their health, have suffered seriously bya
change of location-. In Mississippi, and Al-
abama States ulso, we understand, the rava-
ges of disease were quite alarming. The
congestive fever had carried off a great many,
and the names of several citizens of New-
Orleans are mentioned among the victims.
Had the transient population of our city re-
mained here, this summer, they would, no
doubt, have consulted their health as well as
their interest. New-Orleans has been as free
from pestilence this season, as the granite
mountains of New-Hampshire; and there is
every prospect ofa continuance ofthe same
exemption till the appearance of winter.”
A Complete Fa.ilure.—Tlie city of Mobile

Journal of Commerce states that a mercan-
tile house of N. York, who had a suit against
the city of Mobile, for $500, of the bonds is-
sued by the corporation, has just received ad-
vices thatjudgment has been obtained; but
previous to its being rendered, the corpora-
tion ofthe city had made an assignment or
deed of trust, ofall the real estate belonging
to the city. by which act the judgment ob-
tained against it is useless.

FARE WELL TO SUMMER.
Farewell to thee, Summer,
And thy sweet scented flowers.
Thy wartn pleasant sunshine,
And cool fragrant showers.
Pale, pale are thy leaves.
And their beauties are fled,
And the winds sigh out mournfully.
Summer is dead!
There's a sound in the air
Of the cricket's lone mirth,
And heard are its notes
Round the cottager’s hearth ;
The notes of the birds
That once greeted the ear
Are hushed now in silence-—-
Pale Autumn is here!
It comes with a blight,
A chill with'ring breath.
And leaves on fair Summer
The impress ofdeath.
A wail in the air
Of its absence can tell-.
A dirge for fair Summer.
Its breath, its Farewell!
