Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 8 A terrible conflagration occurred lure this morning. Twelve acres iu the first ward were entirely swept over by the destroying; element, con suming one hundred buildings, and render ing houseless one hundred families. Among the buildings consumed were tho post office, banks and stores ; fortunately, however, the letters in the post office, and most of the papers and books in 'he banks, were saved. A high wind was raging at the time, and as there was no water to be ob tained, no efforts could arrest the progress of the fire. The loss is about $1,000,000. BlOHAMTON, N. Y., Nov. 8 Burned to Death. The dwelling of Mr Perkins, near Kirkwood, was burned last night, and MrPerkin, his wife and seven children perished in the flames. It is. said that the Massachusetts Leg islature will re-ekct Sumner United States Senatoa that he will decline, and that then Burlingame will be elected. liIST OF PREJIIOIS To be awarded at the Animal Fair of the Mecklenburg Agricultural Society to be held in Charlotte on Thursday and Friday, liUtli and 21st of November : Bust managed Farm $10 2d best S5 Essay on Agiicullure 5 " 3 " Stallion, 7 years and under S " 'i " Brood Marc 5 " 3 " Colt, 2 years and under 3 " 2 " Pair Harness Horses 3 ' 2 " Single Buggy Horse 2 " 1 " Jack, 10 years & under 5 4 3 ' Jennet " 3 " 2 " Jack Colt, 2 " 2 1 " Mule, 10 ' 5 " 3 " Colt, 2 " 3 " 2 " Durham Bull 4 " 3 " " Cow 4 " 3 " Calf 2 " 1 Devon Bull 4 3 bow 4 " 3 Calf, 2 years and under 2 " 1 " Native Boll 2 " 1 it 4 Cow a " 1 Calf, 2 I 50 cts " Bonr, 2 years old, of any breed 2 " 1 11 u 3 " " 2 " 1 Pig, G mo? oid or under 1 " 50 cts " Sow and Pigs 2 " 1 " Buck Sheep, of any breed 3 ' 2 M jjwe .. 2 ' I ' Yield of Cotton, in lbs per acre " 3 " Bale of Cotton, quality and packing 3 " 2 " Yield of Hay per acre 3 2 u " Corn per acre on improved laud 5 " 3 " Single bushel of Corn 1 " 50 cts " Yield of WJjeal, per ai re, on improved land 5 " 3 " Single bushel of Wheat 1 " 50 cts " Yield of O. its, per acre, on improved land 2 " 1 " Single bushel of Oats 1 " 50 cts " Yield of Rye, per acre, on improved land 2 l 1 " Single bushel of Rye I "50 cts Yield of Barley per acre on improved land ?

MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES IN CALIFORNIA. The San Francisco correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune, says that the aver age of divorces in that enterprising city amount to about four every day. In San Francisco, there are at least seven men to one woman, and in the interior the dispro portion is much larger. The general ex cuse offered for these divorces is "unconge nial dispositions " and dislike. The lady is said to bo generally the applicant for divorce, which, it appears, is easily granted, and she is soon married again. The niurkot for unmarried ladies in California is excel lent. The Bulletin publishes an advertise ment for a plain conk, from twenty to thirty -five years of age, wages $5'J per month, aud agrees not to marry within six months. The Picayune's correspondent remarks with reason that, if a plain cook, thirty-five years of age, has to give bonds not to marry within sis months, it is probable that a juvinile damsel of half that age, would stand no chance at all of pining away for lack of a husband in California. Violence at the Polls. Tho scenes of bloodshed tit the polls of -some of our principal cities in t'ie late election were most disgraceful to a people whose daily bout is their perfect capacity for self-government. The slaughter in Baltimore was equal to some of the pitched battles in tho Mexican war and more destructive than any battle that has occurred in Kansas. In New York, the Recorder says in his charge to the Grand Jury, that "though blood ran freely in many wards in the city, and though men now lie at the point of death from the wounds they received on the day of election, scarce one of the offenders against the law, has been arrested by the police." Shameful ! Monarchists point to such scenes, and reconcile their subjects to the strong government which secures life, pro perty and order. Increased .speed of Locomotives. The Philadelphia Ledger cites the exhibi tion in France of a locomotive weighing sixty tons, with ten feet driving-wheels, and stated to be capable of attaining a speed of 150 miles per hour. Its centre of gravi ty is placed so low as to render it safer than ordinary engines at the usual speed, so far getting off the track is concerned. It is doubted whether the speed named can be reached with much larger driving-wheels; but there is no doubt of tho practicability of achieving it with larger ones, or that by elevating the track so as to allow of a very low centre of gravity, together with widen ing the space bet ween tho rails and tunnels, railroad trains can move with ease and safe ty 150 miles per hour. . - m m m Terrible Tornado. We understand that on the evening of the 3d instant, u portion of this county was visited by a terrible tornado. It commenced somewhere near Alexander's Ferry on the Catawba river and passed over the plantation of 1. S. McGee, on the Western Flank road, where it blew down nearly every house on his place, tlienee in a direct line across the county to Jno. R. Alexander's on the Statesville road, where it blew down his erin house and blacksmith shop, tlienee to Mr Ohristenbury's blowing off the second story of his house; but the old gentleman and his wife being in the house escaped, the floor protecting them. We learn that the tornado reached Poplar Tent, in Cabarrus county. VVe have heard of no serious accident, but great damage lias been done to the timber. If. C. Whig. FJ. S. Army. The aggregate strength of the United States Army is estimated at present at 18,000 or 10,000 men. In order to keep the companies full, recruiting stations are established in New York, Boston, Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Richmond, Pittsburg, Balti more, Cincinnati, Columbus, Detroit, Chi cago, and some other places. In New York, there are two offices and six or seven stations. The recruits enlisted at the western stations are sent to Newport, Kentucky, and those enlisted at the eastern stations are sent to Governor's Island, in New York harbor. About ten or twelve recruits are now arriving, on Governor's Island, on an average, daily. The army consists of nineteen regiments ten of infantry, four of artillery, four of dragoons, and one of mounted riflemen, besides a corps of sappers and miners. Qcsxb People atthe Watering Place. Mrs. Snubblcchops (to her daughter Laura) "It is very wrong of you Laura, to waltz with young Jolly. Your ppa was greatly shocked. He says that he has met young Jolly in the city, in places where no decent young man would ever be seeu !" "Laura. "Well, what was papa doing in those places, then ? Isn't he a proper associate?"

But to use popular language which cannot be mistaken, when a m -n is sweat- ing freely, and it is suddenly cl' ( '.-(i, and the sweat is not brought out again in a very few moments, sudden and painful sickness is a very certain result What. then, checks nersniraTmn ? A draft of air while we are at rest, after cxt r- ci.se, or getting the clothing wet und re maining at rest while it is so. Getting out of a warm bed and going to an open win dow or door, has been the death of inulti- , tudes. A lady heard the cry of fire at midnight ; ! it was bitter cold ; it was so near, the flames : illuminated her chamber. She left her bed, hoisted the window; the cold chilled her in a moment, t rom that hour until her death, a quarter of a century later, the never saw a well day. A young lady went to her window in her ...t. . i . . , .1 imOit e Ot hes n .ink nr. somet In n' ill till o - o street, leaning her unprotected arms on the stone window-sill, which was damp and cold. She became an invalid, and -.v ill re- mam so for life. Sir Thomas Colby being in a profuse sweat one night, happened to remember that he had left the key of his wine seller on the parlor table, and fearing his servants migiit improve tin inadvertence und drink some of his wine, he left his bed, walked down stairs ; the sweating process was checked, from which he died in a few days, leaving six millions of dollars in English funds. His illness was so brief and violent that he had no opportunity to make his will, and his immense property was divided I among five or six day laborers who were. his nearest relatives. The great practical lesson which we wish to impress upon the mind of the reader is this : When you arc perspiring freely, keep in motion until you get to a good lire, or some place where you are perfectly sheltered from any draft of air whatever. Hall's Journal of Henltfi. . SEAWEED FOR FOCD. At the Clinique of the College of Physi cians tind Surgeons on Monday, Professor Dalton discussed the subject of articles of diet prepared in putt from seaweeds, or Algae, for the use of that class of patients for whom Iodine is indicated. The Profes sor showed and distributed specimens of the preparation, such as biscuit and chocolate, together with the seaweeds which entered into their composition. He stated that recent researches by Dr. John Davy and Professor Apjohn, of Trini ty College, Dublin, had proved the great value of many varieties of Algtc.as articles of nutriment ; that they contain the Protein principles so necessary for the support of animal life, to a greater amount than even the best wheaten flour ; that they abound in the phosphate of lime, and the fixed alka lies ; and that they contain such qualities of Iodine as should render them very val uable articles Of food for persons laboring under scrofulous and tuberculous diseases. The attention of Messrs. J. 5c L. Cod dington, of this cily, had been called to the subject of these researches and their results ; and these gentlemen had formed and successfully carried out the idea of preparing articles of diet which should abound in tho active principles of these Alg.e, and should at the same tinu bo pala table and digestible. For this purpose they have selected some of these seaweeds best adapted to the object in view ; and after drying and grinding them, bare in corporated them with other common escu lent materials, such as dour and cocoa, and converted the mixtures into bread, biscuit, chocolate, and tho like. The preparations exhibited ere certainly very palatable, and, as we are assured by i gentlemen who had tried them, are entirely j digestible. Their constitution was stated ' to be such that each biscuit weighing half an ounce, contained about one-thirtieth of a grain f Iodine ; and that a simitar amount was present in the quantity of chocolate required for each cup of the liquid bever age.

A beautiful woman, j ahout twenty five years of age was arrested night before last, OB a charge of bigamy. The charge was preferred against her by her husband, who married her about three weeks since in New York, after which they came to this city and took lodgings at a hotel in Fourth street. The party remaining there about ten days, when the female left at d took rooms at a house in Chesnut street. On Wednesday the hus band heard of the w hereabouts of his faithless spouse, and called at the hotel to sec her, when she very frankly told him j that she was already married and had a husband in California. He implored her to come with him, but was peremptorily refused, whereupon he procured a warrant for her arrest. Alderman Enue held her in 1500 bail, in default of which a com mitment was lodged against her, but sho was soon released. It is stated that tho dashing young lady wen', of! for England yesterday morning in the steamer City of Baltimore. Phil. Ledger. 'Dark his old Picture.'
