Local & Miscellaneous.
From unavoidable causes, we ire sev
eral days behind our usual lime of publi
cation. Ftust The FJinton House in Ru
ins ! Loss $15,000! It becomes our
duly to record one of the roost disastrous
confligrations ,'. that has ever occurred
in lielievua. ' .
L' About 9 o'clock,' on Sunday morning,
Nov.;8ih,the Denton House was discover
ed to be on fire, in the Ceiling, near the
stove pipp, over the second story. The
alarm was immediately given, but the
flames were pooh seen issuing from the
roof. The citizens were immediately ou
the ground, making every eflbrt to subdue
the raging elements. Buckets of water
were passed up to those who were now on
the oof; but owing to the insuflicient
quantity that could be obtained, and the
strong north-west wind, the fire spread
with such rapidity, as to render it impos
sible to remain on the roof only a short
time. Meantime, tho furniture and pro
visions were being removed from thello
tcl.and were nearly all saved from entire
destruction, although moro or less dam
aged by rough handling.
Every possible means were used to sub
due the flames, but without success, end
in an hour from the time tho nlarm was
given, the building was a mass of smoul
dering ruins.
The total loss cannot be fur from Sl-3,-000.
" Thero was no insurance on the
builJing or furniture. !..-,.
' The Hotel was owned and kept by J.
F. Cofluian, and tho loss, wo fear, will
be a disastrous one to him. Mr. Coflman
receives the sympathy of our citizens, and
wo hope they will extend to him that ma
terial aid, which he so much deserves.
The boarders will suffer more or less,
by this calamity, in the destruction of ma
ny little articles, which, in themselves, are
of no great vnlue, except to their own
ers. I he lire originated as near as we can
learn, from a stove pipe, which passed
through the, floor, over the second story.
If a sufficient quantity of water, could
have been readily obtained, the building
might have been saved.
The baru belonging to the Hotel, situ
ated a short distance iu the rear, was on
ly saved by keeping the roof continually
wet.
Our citizens are deserving of much
praise, for the assistance they rendered in
saving the furniture, &c.
The Benton House was built of wood,
for the town company, at a cost of S10V
000, and has been occupied little over a
year. It was one of the largest Hotel in
the Territory, and its destruction is not
only a great calamity to its proprietor, but
to the town; and tliu traveling public.
We doubt not, however, that measures
will be taken to erect another in iu place,
early in the comuig spring.
Since the above was in type, a meet
inff of our citizens has been held, where
it was resolved to erect another building
for a hotel, forthwith. Much fririt and
animation prevailed. Two thousand dol
lars were subscribed on the spot, towards
carrying out the resolution cf the meet
ing. A building committee was appoint
ed and on Thursday morning, hanJs are
to be on the spot, engaged in actual ser
vice. The meeting adjourned, to meet
again ou Wednesday evening.
We have been furnished with full pro
ceedings of tho meeting, by the Secreta
ry, but for want of room, we are com
pelled to omit it.

day a richer man than he was before his
connection with the Jerome clock compa
ny. It is said that he has bought all the
claims against himself for from five to
twenty-live cents ou the dollar, with the
exception of some $15,000 held in and
about Danbury which he will probably
have to pay in full. The whole of the
vast property assigned by him for the ben
efit of his creditors has again passed into
his hands, and he is now re-furnishing
and re-fitting Iranistan' in good style for
his future and permanent residence.
A Romance on the River A Mar
riage os the Florilda on ur.a Maiden
Trip. On the lUth inst., as tho fine
steamer Florilda was about starting on her
maiden trip from Omaha to St. Louis, a
tall, gaunt fellow of about twenty-six au
tumns enme on board with a blooming
country girl, of apparently not more than
fourteen gentle summers. He informed
the clerk that she was his sister, and so
timorous that it would be necessary that
they should occupy a state room together.
The clerk saw that their mutual concern
was deeply sincere, and assigned them a
room one next the captain s register
ing them as Mr. Barbour and sister. The
subject being incidentally menticued to the
captain, J. H. Baldwin, he remembered
that a young lady much resembling his
fair passenger had come on board to see
them away. The statement of the kind
brother that they had no relatives in that
part of the country, and were bound to
Joliet, therefore excited his suspicion. A
plan was formed, which resulted iu cou
vertintr suspicion into certainty.
I he captain, whose heart is in the right
place consulted with his officers, and it
was resolved unanimously that the pair
should be wedded. The happy intelli
gence was communicated to the parties in
the moei considerate and appropriate man
ner. They were called into the cabin and
their mutual delightful destiny unfolded.
The young lady nt once rushed to her fra
ternal companion's arms with more than
sisterly fervor, crying ' Oh. Jim, diJu't
I teil you we couldn't pass for brother and
sisier?" and clung to him in a transport of
grief and joy.
It was evident that she would perform,
without prompting, her part of the mar
riage ceremony, but he appeared to think
her "too willing.'' He was however, in
formed succinctly of the captain's ultima
tum he must marry her, or one tdiould
be landed ono side of the river, aud the
other upon the opposite side. To this he
seemed not unwilling to assent. His
Hero, however, would not trust her Lean
der across tho Mississippi. But his re
luctance was overcome by the clerk'a sol
emn and confidential assurance that the
cantain was in a terrific passion, was a
most desperate person, who would sooner
shoot a man than eat, and that he had a'
pistol in his pocket, which, it was plainly
to be seen, his hand was burning to use.
The young gentleman, feeling thus com
pelled lo volunteer, explained that he
would have married before starting, but
that he should have missed the boat, and
"se help him God," he would have mar
ried her in St. Loui. Arrived at Bruns
wick, Mo., a justice of the peace was
summoned, who shortly appeared in th"
ladies cabin, where a circle was formed
with the happy twain in the center, and
they were made one The Wide was the
beaming picture of delight, he the saint
lier one of submission. Copt. Buldwiu,
and the clerks Messrs. Johnson and Dill,
each gave appropriate advice and kissed
the bride, whose gratitude was unbound
ed. The boat arrived her on Saturday,
when Mr. and Mrs. Barbour took the cars
for Joliet, having so far fulfilled the rea
sonable expectations of their friends.

Ibeso boots being from the same home as
those I received last year, Is the best recom
mendation that enn be given them. The sub
scriber defies any other firm in the Territory
to produce as good a lot of Boots, and to sell
them at such low prices. Sold cither by the
case or single pair. Call and examine for
yourselves.
