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

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.
