"THE CUSTOM HOUSE.--It is not true, as has been stated in several of the papers that. Mr. MATTHEW L. DAVIS,after having been removed from office had been reinstated.--Mr. DAVIS has neither been removed nor replaced, yet we have no doubt will very shortly have to give up a place which he cannot hold consistently with his well known political opinions. We trust the "Old Boy in Specs" will soon be placed on the plank with his walking papers. A man by the name of CORNELL, belonging to Phoenix, in this county, was found upon the tow path of the canal at Syracuse, on Saturday morning; lifeless-- It was at first supposed he had been murdered but, we believe, an investigation of the matter before a coroner's jury, brought to light facts and circumstances, which rendered it probable that he died from some other cause. TREMENDOUS FIRE!--LOSS OF LIFE!--HORRIBLE MURDERS!--This morning about two o'clock, the extensive store room of Puterbaugh & Allison was discover on fire says the Xenia (Ohio) Jeffersonian of the 3d inst. Their entire stock of goods probably to the amount of ten thousand dollars, was destroyed. The large brick building occupied by P. & A. store keepeers; A. B.BEAL, harness maker and SAMUEL CRUMBAUGH, hat store, was consumed. The brick building occupied by D.D. WILLIAMSON, grocer; D. BURR, bookseller and partly as a dwelling by two or three families, was also destroyed. The loss of property cannot be less than fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. One of the buildings was insured. The most deplorable part of the calamity, was the loss of two very estimable young men, JAMES KENNY and WILLIAM STEELE, clerks of Puterbaugh & Allison, who slept in the store. When the flames were discovered and the door burst open, Mr. KENNY was found lying asainst the front door, sense! less, cut and brused, to a considerable extent. He was conveyed to a dwelling not far off, where he breathed his last, without being able to give any information how the fire commenced. Mr. STEELE was discovered lying in bed, probably senseless, but could not be rescued in consequence of the flames. His body was afterwards discovered in the cellar where it had fallen through. The back door of the store room was standing open, from which it is a pretty conclusive that a most foul murder has been committed, and the store set on fire. One of the villains was arrested in this city yesterday evening: he was followed down the railroad by an officer from the scene of the blood.--Cincinnati Commercial Advertiser, Aug. 4
