The New berry depot has long needed ( proper, accommodation for the traveling public. We doubt whether there is an- ,l other railroad station of equal size and ~ consequence in the State where travel- V ers are subjected to as many discomforts and annoyances a at this. Besides this, the agent and telegraphic operator ~ at the depot find it frequently impossi- t ble to attend properly to thleir business I on account of the crowd that t1ocks into f their offices for lack of some other place C o go to. The rail road authorities, appre- V eitinlg at last these evils, have taken 'J steps to remedy them.

ANOTHER CNFLAGRATION. Ten Stores and Buildings -Ouried, And Two Torn Down: No Engines, uo meaus to Fight the Fire, Result--a Loss of $65,000. I TINSUiRANCE $40,000. About half past 9 o'clock last night (Monday) the alarm of fire was sound ed, and the community thrown into dread,knowing there were no appliances for fighting this terrible eiemy with any success, and it was not long ere W.h reality was seen and felt in a con flauation whbih u 4ad in ashes one of the principal blocks of our town. Fortunately umuch rain had previously fallen, nor was there much wind. else the fire might have spread and the .d3;,mae beou tenfold more. As it is, the loss is se,7eie -ogh. and proves agaill with tougue of fire that Uhe town of Newberry is not safe without fire engines, but is liable at any wo ment to be laid in ashes. It is our opiuion and that o;f others that one steamer in this instance couid hav stopped the fire where it originated and thus have saved thousands of dollars more than the cost of one. I When will our people profit by these dear bought lessous? The fre started either in Mr. Keene's tin shop, on Main Street, or in the old building between it and Mr. Cash's store, known as the old tion shop and lately occupied in the basement by --. -. Woolsey as a rstaurant-the latter most probably, and spread in both directions. The following houses were burned Four belomrgiug to C. & G. S. Mow er, viz: the old "Stewart Corner," with two stores, one occupied by Jno. P. Kiard as an auction house and the other by D. B.

Bowers' grocery and bar, Harriet Kennedy's restr.urau t, and the threc-story brick store occupied by J. D. Cash as a grocery store. The store occupied by Rt. B. Keene, as a tin and stove store, belonging to Mrs. Bartlett. MIr. J. D. Cash's iron front store. The old wooden buildings below Mr. Cash's grocery, with two stores, one occupied by Rodelsperger & Ilornsby as a shoe store, the other by G. A. Langford as a bar, caught fire and wore torn down to stop the progress of the flames. Mr. P. Scott's clothing store opposite Mr. Bower's was chopped down to stop the flames in that direction. On the opposite side of Caldwell Street, commencing with the corner store occupied by Mr. Scholtz, jew eler, and Mrs. Redus, milinery, the danger was imminent, and but for heroic exertion and that piece of briek wall on the Chick corner. which should be preserved as a monument. (for this and other good done) the fire would have swept the post office, Ratley's barber shop, Boozer's bar room, Par ke's saddlery, Scott's clothizng house ard the HERALD cflice, and no doubt further down. As it was the contents of the buildings named with the ex cetion of our printing oficee were all taken out and considerably damaged.
