FIRE IN Benton. "A fire broke out in
Benton on Monday morning last, between
one and two o'clock, and laid tho most
valuable portion Of tho town in ashes.---
Il caught in one Of the groceries, and burnt
in both directions until both groceries, the
law once Of Mr.. Holt, Judge Burrw, Judge
BattaiIIe, Maj. Niche and VIM, Bauaille,
Esq, with several other buildings, were all
consumed All these buildings were en-
tirely Of wooden materials, and built close
against each other, so that they were all
Immediately in one bluze. An hour and
a half after the first appearance OF tho fire,
they we're all in ashes. The heaviest loss
has fallen upon our esteemed and worthy
friend Judge Batlale; his well selected aud
extensive law library was all consumed.
This loss is to be deeply regretted; not on
ly in a pecunlary point Of view but owing
to its character Tho Judge had spared
neither labor nor expense in procuring ev.
cry valuable work that issued from the
press, Other membors Of the bar also
lost many Of their books and papers.
