Fire! About five o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, the 7th inst., that valuable Grist-Mill, belonging to Fostor HORTON, of Tunkhannock, was discovered to be on fire; and in two hours was burnt to the ground, together with the valuable effects it contained, among which were 100 bushels of grain; 75 belonging to Mr. HORTON, the remainder to his neighbors.
He had expended about one thousand pounds on this mill, had turned his attention principally to it, and had brought it to such perfection that its equal was not within 20 miles. By very great exertions, an adjoining Saw-Mill, which was several times on fire, was saved from the devouring element.
Here in a field for exercise of Humanity. Let those to whom Fortune has dispensed her favors, extend the hand of Charity for the relief of a worthy, tho' unfortunate fellow-citizen, who sees the effects of several years industry in a heap of ruins.
Those gentlemen who feel a disposition to assist Mr. HORTON in the erection a new Mill, will be pleased to leave their donations with Col. HOLLENBACK, or Judge FELL, in Wilkesbarre and Lawrence MYERS Esq., Gilbert CARPENTER or Williams TRUCKS in Kingston. We believe the smaller favors will be thankfully received.

A number of gentlemen and ladies met at the house of Elisha KEELER, at Allensburg (Wyalusing) on the 4th July to celebrate American Independence.

Melancholy Accident. Last evening two young men of this neighborhood, the sons of Messrs. Joseph SMITH and William CURRY undertook to watch a deer lick (their intentions being unknown to each other). Young Mr. SMITH arrived there before dark, and had secreted himself to watch the deer: Some time after Lockwood CURRY, a young man in the 19th year of his age, with a coverlid of a reddish cast over his shoulders, approached: SMITH supposing it to be a deer, fired his piece, and lodged the contents in the face and breast of Mr. CURRY. SMITH ran to the fatal spot, and instead of a deer, found his neighbor and most intimate acquaintance, bleeding and speechless! His surprise and astonishment were too great to be described; he ran immediately home, alarmed their parents and others, who went out and brought in the young man; he remained speechless to the last, and died about three o'clock this afternoon. From this and similar circumstances, hunters should take warning not to fire until they perfectly know their object. [Sheshequin, July 8th]
