i Local & Miscellaneous. From unavoidable causes, we are saV rrnl Jays behind our usual time of publi cation. Fibi! The Benton House in Ru ins! Loss $15,000! It becomes our duty to record one of the most disastrous confligrations ,' that has ever occurred in Bellevuo. - . 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 pipo, over the second story. ' The alarm was immediately given, but the flames were soon seen issuing from the roof. The citizens were immediately ou the ground, making every effort to subdue the raging elements. Buckets of water were passed up to those who were now on tho toot j but owing to the insufficient quantity that could be obtained, and the strong north-west wind, the fire spread with such rapidity, as to render it impos- Hibla to remain on the roof only a short time. Meantime, tho furniture and pro visions were being removed from the Ho tel, and were nearly nil saved from entire destruction, although more or less dam aged by rough handling. F.very possible means were used to sub due the flames, but without success, and in nn hour from the time tho alarm was given, the building was a mass of smoul dcring ruins. The total loss cannot be far from $15,' 000. " Thero was no insurance on the building or furniture. . , . ' The Hotel was owned and kept by J. F. Cofl'uinn, and the loss, wo fear, will be a disastrous one to him. Mr. Cofl'man receives the sympathy of our citizens, and wo hope they will extend to him that ma tcrial aid, which he so much deserves. The boarders will suffer more or less, by this calamity, in the destruction of iiui' ny little articles, which, in themselves, are of no great value, except to their own ers. lne 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 buildinjr might have been saved. The barn belonging to the Hotel, situ ated a short distance in 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 cct of 10,- 000, and has been occupied little over year. It was one of the largest Hotels in the Territory, and its destruction is not only a great calamity to its proprietor, but to the town; and tho traveling public. We doubt not, however, that measures will be taken to erect another in its place, early in the convng spring. Since the above was in type, a meet ing of our citizens has been held, where it was resolved to erect another building for n hotel, forthwith. Much spirit 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 cn 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 the meeting, by the Secreta ry, but for want of room, we are com pelled to omit it Alfred Matthias, of Flattford,has been appointed by the Governor of Pennsylva nia, a Commissioner of Deeds, for that State, for this Territory.

Advocate says: It is certainly with pleasure that we announce the probable fact that P. T. Bar noiii' is nrain 'on his legs': that he is to 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 nirainst himself for from five to twenty-live cents ou the dollar, with the exception of some 515,000 held in and about Danbury which he will probably have to pay in full. The whole of the vast property assigned by him for tho 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 Riveb A Mar- RIAGK ON THE FLORILDA ON HER MAIDEN Tnip. On tho 10th inst., as tho fine steamer Florilda was about starting on her maiden trip from Omaha to Su 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 mentioned 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 Juliet, therefore excited his suspicion. A plan was formed, which resulted in con verting suspicion into certainty. The captain, whose heart is in the right place consulted with his officers, and it was resolved unanimously that the pair should be wedded. The hupny intelli gence was communicated to the parlies in the mot 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 fru- i :,u ..,,, v,., ternai comjiamoii s uriii:) una mua- umu sisterly fervor, crying "Oh. Jim, didn't I tell you we coultlu t pass for broilier and sister?" and clung to him in a transport of grief and joy. It was evident that she would pertorm, 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 ca plain's ultima tum he must marry her, or one should be landed one side of the river, and the other upon the opposite side. To this he seemed not unwilling to assent. J lis Hero, however, would not trust her Lean der across the Mississippi. But his re luctance was overcome by the clerk a sol emn and confidential assurance that the captain 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 to volunteer, explained that he would have married before starting, but that he should have missed the boat, and " se help him God, he would ha ve 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- her one of submission. Capt. Baldwin, 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 Suturday, when Mr. and Mrs. liar lour took the cars for Joliet, having so far fulfilled the rea sonable expectations of their friends.
