House Burned—Narrow Escape of a
Residence from Destruction.—On Friday
last, a fire broke out in the roof of an office
adjacent to the residence of Edward W. Cald
well, Esq., some twe-and-a-half miles south
west of town. The office burned down, and
although within about fifteen feet of the resi
dence. vet. by the almost super-human exer
tions of Mr. Caldwell and his family, and
several gentlemen who were at work on Dr.
J. S. Pearson’s new residence, some three- ,
fourths of a mile from the fire, and who man- ,
fully rushed to aid in putting out the flames— (
it was saved from destruction, but not without (
the gable-end being charred by the heat of {
tile fire. Mr. Caldwell attributes the origin
of the fire to a wad from a shot-gun, which ,
he had fired off some half-hour before—the
wad lodging upon the roof ignite-d the com
bustible material, or fuz on the shingles.

' For the Des Arc Citizen.J
Answer to “ Wattensaw.”
Mr. Editor ; I see in your last number ar
appeal from “ Hard Scrabble Papers” to the
unmarried ladies—particularly the you»g la
dies. I belong to the latter class, and have
a large share of sympathy for suffering hu
manity, and a particular fondness for bache
lors ; and, X most cheerfully coutribute my
response. My friend “ Wattensaw,” is cer
tainly in an unpleasant predicament together
with his fellow associates. X would gladly
relieve one of them, if I could, from his de
scription. make a selection. As to his honora
ble self, I have some objections. It is seldom
that the “ hairs of a young man’s head can be
numbered,” he certainly must be on the Old
Bachelor list; if so, I should have reason to
fear his contracted heart—nor could I fancy
his egotism, which two qualifications gener
ally belong to a “Bald-headed Bachelor”—
therefore, from his case, “ I pray thee have
ME EXCUSED.”
His neighbor, who “ hides in his corn crib,”
I certainly could not fancy, as he must be in
dolent, or his corr.-house would not be empty
enough to give him a hiding place. I would
not like to become Mistress of an empty corn
crib, as my bread might “give out;” and, if
I fancied the cribbed animal, I would certain
ly have to give up his case—as I do not con
sider myself Cow enough to attract a calf.
His neighbor, who “ sits behind the house
to dye his hair and whiskers’’—dear me!
here are two serious objections at once—he
certainly is grey, or he’d not need the dye.
Well, Uve heard it was better to be an old
man’s darling, than a young man’s slave. Oh
me! I was about to make a conditional pro
posal, but here arises the suggestion, he must
be a strange man or he’d build him a dressing
room. I never could love a penurious man—
nor will I propose to yet. The neighbor,
who hates hoops and fears their explosion ;
for his benefit, I will suggest the ladies con
tribute their broken hoops to have 1)is head
banded, as the explosion of it would have a
Upas influence upon those around him, and
be ought to be fed on small gravel for the
benefit of his qizzard ; for soul, he has none.
Mr. Wattensaw, I wish you would furnish
ne with Photographs of the Wattensaw Bach
elors? That I may do them justice and relieve

if them has given. I was not apprised they
were so much of the canine or reptile race, as
o sun themselves in their fence corners. I
would suggest the use of the grubbing hoe.
'or proper circulation of blood, and for the
ixtermination of those briars, which do not
illow much space for their sunny retreat.
I-have the exquisite pleasure of an acquaint
ince with a YVattensaw bachelor, who does
lot belong to the class given by you—his pro
mise locks cannot be “numbered;” nor do
hey require the borrowed gloss or dye to
leautify—he needs not the foreign aid of or
lament; nor is he calf enough to hide in an
imptycrib; nor lizzard enough to need the
monday sun—he has a “ dressing room in
loors” and need not be supprised if he re
vives a proposal to attend a wedding, he the
;room and I the bride.
Good evening Mr. “ YVattensaw ” until we
neet again. Miss Des Arc.

Imfortance of Publicity.—Hunt’s Mer
:hant’s Magazine, for February, says:
“ Notoriety or publicity is an indispensa
ile element of success to the merchant, me
chanic or manufacturer, who would give a
ipeedy and wide distribution to the couimod
ties and productions which he seeks to ex
change for money. He may have capital,
skill, convenient position, punctuality, in
lustry and honesty—every possible fitness
for his business—and all is nothing, if he
lave not sufficient notoriety. This notoriety,
let it eost more or less, he must purchase or
provide for as carefully as he purchases or
manufactures his stock of goods. And, it
must to some extent bear a certain relation,
o the business he would do ; it must be both
aositive and comparative. People must not
inly know him and his business, because
itherwise they will not find him, but they
must know him, because otherwise they will
ind and trade with those who are better
mown. To do a successful and profitable
jusiness, a merchant must advertise—no mat
er what he sells.”
One Thousand Dollars a Week.—-A
'riend informs us that he made application
it Charleston for accommodations and that
he prices asked were $1,000 per week for a
larlor, three bed-rooms and dining-room for
lix persons. In another case, $30 per week
vas asked for two rooms without furniture.
