THE DAILY FEWS.
[Trim London Punch.]
Another Parody of Tennyson.
ON A SEASONABLE LETTER.
BY A VICTIM.
Here lt ls here-the birth ol' tho year.
And with it my tailor's letter.
If he'd spare bia penny, nor sent roe any,
For himself he han done much better.
Oh, foolish man, skin a flint who can,
Who shall bleed a stone, I pray you ?
With the ?tan I sank in the Agra Bank,
I might very Ireely pay yon.
The fall of stock was an awkward shock,
Most blue looked my bland attorney;
For a precious lot weat to hopeless pot
When Overend railed (with Gurney.
To Egyptian trade then I turned for aid.
And m AVashoe's Mino I rested;
Bat they came to grief, or some swindling thief
Ran off with the sums invested.
?Ton want your due." I've no doubt you do,
And I wish I may live to pay it;
But I'm up a tree, you may plaiuly see.
If it muit be so-so be it I
That lile ii brief is some slight relief,
Aa your bul my la?t pipe kindles;
And my Snip, my Snip, we'll at least asrrce,
We bato their shams and their swindles.
Tlie Wilmington Fire.
The Wilmington Journal of yesterday con?
tains the following details of the destructive
fire in that oity on Thursday night:
A fire broke ont in the store occupied by Mr.
Charles Guthman, on Markcc-Btreet, as a cloth?
ing store, or in rear of it, about 9 o'clock last
night, which spread up end down the street,
destroying five of the principal buildings on
the south side of Market, between Front and
Second streets. The lowest building burnt be?
longed to tho eatato of Joseph Wilkerson, de?
ceased, occupied by Mr. R. S. Waldron as a dry
goods store. We learn he was insured for
$6000. Most of his goods, to the value of
$8000 or $10,000, were removed, but much dam?
aged. The building was also partially insured.
Mr. Guthman, occupying the next store, was
insured for $3000. Hie stock of goods, valued
at about $7000 or $8000 was entirely destroyed.
Dr. Ibos. B. Carr, who resided above the
store of Mr. Guthman, lost everything, in?
cluding his dental instruments, library, which
was very valuable, furniture, clothing, &c. Dr.
Carr's loss is estimated at $6000-no insurance.
The sympathies of our entire community are
specially with Dr. Carr in the total loss which
hs has Buffered, l ho building was the property
of Rev. A. P. Repiton, and was insured for
$3600. The next building was occupied by H.
H. Munson & Co. as a clothing and gentlemen's
furnishing stoie. His stock, valued at $12,000
to $15,000, was insured for $10,000. His goods
were removed, but tn a greatly damaged con?
dition. The second story was occupied by
Messrs. Arlington & Everitt, surcreon dentists.
They held an insurance for $5000, but their
loss will exceed this amount by some $3000
or $40' 0. The building belonged to Mr. Scott,
of Bichmond, and insured for $10,000. The
next building, belonging to Mrs. bhinea, under
the charge of Colonel W. B. Planner as agent,
was occupied by Mr. Wronski, dry goods, and
Allen Evans (colored), grocer. Mr. Wronski
was insured for $5000. His stock was re?
moved, but his loss will be considerable.
Hu stook was valued at about $9000.
Above was located the daguerrean rooms
of Mr. Yan Gradell, who had an insurance
of $3000, with a policy of $5000 just expired.
Mr. Yan Orsdelrs loss is heavy. We have
been unable to learn what the loss of Allen
Evans was, or whether he was insured. We
suppoBe bis goods were removed, as there was
ample time to do so. We trust his loss is not
heavy, for he is an indnstrous man and a good
citizen. The second story of this building was
used by the Republican County Committee.
As their stock in trade was light, we suppose
their loss is correspondingly small. The third
story was the publication office ot the Wilming?
ton Post, Republican newspaper. Their type
and press were saved in more or less damaged
condition. Some of the fixtures were burnt.
We understand that there was some insurance
upon the office, hut we did not leam to wbat
amount. At the time at which we write, (12
o'clock), the fire is entirely under the control
of thc firemen. As usual, our fire companies
worked faithfully and zealously, but without
proper system, and consequently to little ad?
vantage. Many of the adjoining stores and
residences had their slocks an 1 furniture re?
moved to the great inconvenience and loss of
the owners and occupants,
A dispatch received yesterday from Wilming?
ton, adds the following dish-easing intelligence:
"A number of persons were buried beneath
the ruins of a falling wall At five A. M., to-day.
One white and four negro freedmen have, thus
tar, been taken from the ruins in a mangled
condition. It is thought that all will die. A
large number of hands are now at work on the
ruins to recover the other bodies, but it is
feared that ten or twelve were crushed. The
fire waa confined to the buildings mentioned in
last night's dispatch. The less will be about
$125,000."
