The fire yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, was at the two-and-a-half story frame bouse in Smith .street, West side, near Vanderhorst, owned and occupied I by Mr. O. W. Crouoh. It is supposed to have originated in a defective chimney, from which the roof ignited, and got pretty thoroughly in flames before it was discovered. The furniture was nearly all saved. The building was insured. Mr. H. L. Bookman, an ex-assistant engineer of tbe Pioneer Steam Fire En? gine Company, of this oity, died in Sa? vannah, Ga., on Tuesday last, the 4th iust.

Tho coueluotor, seeing tho whole tran? saction, had tho brakes applied, the train stopped, and ran back to tho place whore the brick was thrown. A boy, who had thrown the missile, was recog? nized, arrested and placed on the train, where he was furnished transportation free of charge, for several miles, and put off, after a sound thrashing, in a swamp, and allowed to depart in peace. The patient soon feels as if he had taken a new lease of life, and is over? joyed to find the depressed feeling dissi? pated, the costive habits oorreoted, and new streams of health coursing througt1 his veins, by using Simmons' Liver Re? gulator.

Iu walking about the happy village of the plain, butting against the merciless wind much use madman would ugaiust a stubborn bard-door, I chanced into tho office of tho Red River Gazelle, tho next to the las! paper upon the frontier. This little journal, hanging upon the verge of civilization, as it waro, presents a very oreditaole appearance. The editor, his wifo and children do all the intellectual and m'eohanical work..:? The print-shop is a oozy little Bt root uro of One room, arid answers for a dwelling as well. Iu one oorner are the oases, in another the cooking stove, table and dishes, in an? other the press, and in the other n bed. In the. middle-is another stove. It takes 'two stoves to have 'any effect on twenty square feet of this ollmate. The editor was not in, but his good wife and oue of bis children were. The wife was writing editorials and making pics, while the ohild kept up tires and set type. It waa a happy pioture of di? versified industry. By way of introduc? tion, I bought a few copies of tho paper and eat dowu before the fire, on an ink keg, to thaw oat my fingers. . "This is rather a cold day," I ob? served, aud, by-tbo way, this is the mau Uer I always open conversation np here. There is uo other way; unless a man says it ia dreadful cold, and that only applies when the mercury is forty degrees below zero or more. "Oh, I dou't know," she said, as she ?laid down ber manusOript,and*'tOok up a mince pie, "we have'been thinking it was quite pleasant. It is a great im? provement on tho weather we have bad. You were not here-' last month?" she coutiuued. I told her I was not, which accounted for my being ou baud in tho flesh, as it were. "Oh, you wouldn't havo frozen," she replied, cheerfully, "uuleaa you -bad been out in our terrible'storm. That was awful. Human beings oould not stand it." "Were auy frozeu here?" I asked. "Two," she replied. "Bight out there, (poiutiug out of the first window, about a hundred yards from the house,) | we found the body of Mr. Christopher sou after the storm." "So near this house?" "Yes, right there, with houses all around them. But tho storm was so blinding, tho air so full of snow, that a mau could not seo more than ton feet. Ho had come in that morning with a load of wood, bringing his two children. When the storm approached, ho started back, although begged not to do so, leaving his childreu. Ho never reached his home, although ho lived out but a mile. All we kuow is that his dead body was found right out there nfter the storm. Mr. Norris saw an object mov? ing about ou the show, which ho thought was a wclf, and blurted out with his guu to shoot it. Getting closer, he saw it was a dog, and near it the body of a frozen man. Tho faithful dog had stayed with the body of bis master for four days, through all tho storm, aud had pawed away tho auow from tho body as fast as it felt. Tho poor mau had got lost, and wandered about, uo telling where, until at last ho died right iu town, und did not kuow it. Iiis oxen were fouud itnboddod iu a snow drift, uothiug but their heads protruding. They wcro uot dead, but diod afterwards. Tho ohain was carefully wrapped around tho yuko. Mr. Chribtopberson had given them a chance to save themselves when ho fouud that he was lost. "Tho other case was that of Mr. James Berry, who livod six miles of hero. Ho had entered a farm, and was prepariDg a homo for his widowed mother, who lives in Ohio. He lived in u cabin on his claim with another young man. He was at a neighbor's house, half a mile away, grinding his axo, when the uLeuin came. They begged him to stny, but he laughed aud said he was not afraid of that storm. Ho has never boeu seen since, either dead or alivo. What is fatrauge about it is, that bis path lay along tho timbor, where the forco of tho wind was broken. But hu died, and his body will likely not bo found till spring. No tell ing how far ho wandered, or how long ho lived." I Iu overy County 1 hoar some dreadful tale of death by tho storm, although it bus boen said that only two were frozeu on tho line of tho Northum Pacific. The storm was as furious hero as at auy other point, and those who were exposed to it died. That is all. Not until spring comes aud the snow melts, will tho death roll bo fully made out.

Railroad Iron Manufacture?r Eighteen years ago, (1854,) tne annual I oonsumption of railway bars in the United States was 447,658 tone, of which 1339,439 tons were impqrted, and 103, 016 tons only were manufactured here. I It will be seeu by these figures that of the total American oonsumption of rail? way bars at that time, less than one-, third wus of'American ininufacturu, and more than two thirds was imported. Since that time there have been vast changes., both in the amount cousumed j und in tho proportions of domestic, and foreigu manufacture. The figures for 1872, show a consumption of railway bars in the United States amounting to 1,504,591 tons, of which 975,000 tons were manufactured in this country,,and 1529,591 tons were imported. ' The old .conditions are reversed, about two-thirds of our railway bare being made in our own country, and about one-third being of foreign manufacture. ?'^&y>:~ ? .

Tbo English newspapers mention a most roprehensible hoax played upon ! tbe Rev. Dr. Gumming. That gentle? man was to leeture at Folkstone on "Tbe1 Pope aud his work in Eogland," but just as bo was about to begin, a telegram was placed in his baud, informing him that I the Pope had died that morning. The reverend doctor was too learned not to I remember tbe "JYiY nisi bonum." He I bad intended to pitch into tbe Pope, j after bis accustomed manner; but how could he, now that tbo poor Pope had stepped out? So he softened down his I intended diatribe into a mild comment on tbo solemn erect. His feelings on discovery of the hoax, are not described*' It is Enid that Governor Geary died from tbo affects of hair-dye, the BUgar of lead, which is the principal ingredient' in such nostrums, having poisoued tbo sculp and affected tbo brain. This fact, if it is a fact, should rouse the bump of caution, and those who dj*e should dyo no more, until they die indeed.
