Under contract with Judge GRAHAM, who acted for the Board of Supervisors, Mess. KITTS and LONG have rearranged the court house furnace, so that fires have been discontinued in the grates and stoves at least pending the warm spell.

The burning of the stables at BROWN'S mines last Saturday morning was not only a regretted loss to the owner, but a shock to all human people. Several valuable horses were burned to death. We presume the fire was accidental, but a brute could be fiendish enough to cremate the noblest animals to make spite or vengeance on the owner, and if such a brute exists he ought to be made to suffer the fate that over took the more useful and innocent animals.
