Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 15-1865 Great Fire in New York! The Entire Interior of Barnum's Museum Consumed. New York, July 13th.-A fire broke at noon to-day in Barnum's Museum, extending rapidly to the adjoining buildings on Broadway, Ann and Fulton street. The Museum was entirely destroyed. Nos. 12, 14, 15, 16, and 18 Ann street, occupied by various parties, including a restaurant, French's Dick & Fitzgerald, printers, were burned. No. 216 Broadway, occupied by White, hatter, and VanAmes, restaurant, was destroyed. No. 214 Broadway, occupied by Rogers & Raymond, clothiers, Reeves, billiard saloon, were consumed. No. 212 Broadway, occupied by Knox, hatter, and others, was destroyed. The fire was finally checked. The loss is said to be a $1,000,000 on which there is an insurance of $500,000. The fire originated over a boiler in the Museum. The Original Bloomer.-As the topic of "Woman's Dress" is again largely discussed, it may be interesting to know something of the original "Bloomer." The Seneca Falls 'Courier,' in noticing the call put forth for a dress reform convention, at Rochester, next month, records the fact that Mrs. Bloomer, now residing at Council Bluffs, Iowa, long since abandoned the costume introduced by her, and which still bears her name. She may now be seen in the fullness of her years and skirts. Eggs.-The spiritualists have discovered that the eating of eggs by a medium causes the "spirit" to come out in greater force. They assert that the consumption of eggs adds to the phosphorus in the human body, and consequently gives more to the medium. Probably this is the reason why so many young ladies (and old ones, too) are "mediums." We go the egg part of the doctrine. The N.Y. 'Herald' announces that hereafter will be issued every morning in the year. It says: There can be no rest for a live newspaper. Hereafter, therefore, the 'Herald' establishment will never be closed. It will always be open, ready for business, night and day, from one end of the year to the other. Death of Judge Martin of Olean.-We are pained to announce the death of Judge Frederick S. MARTIN, of Olean, Cattaraugus County. Judge MARTIN was one of the pioneers of the county, and by his energy and talent rose to the highest honors of the country, having been Judge, and Representative in Congress. He was a man of great perseverance, tact and talent, and his wise counsels will be greatly missed at Olean. He leave a large estate. - 'Buffalo Courier' Sale of Army Blankets.-A large lot of second-hand army blankets has just been received by Mr. Lucius SMITH, that he is disposing of at very low figures. They are readily bought up by farmers for horse blankets, being the cheapest article offered for some time. They are sold at a store opposite the Park. Peat.-By reference to notice in another column the citizens will observe that the Batavia Peat Co. are now ready to deliver any quantity of this new fuel. They are preparing a very large amount this summer, so we trust there will be no scarcity of fuel the coming winter. MARRIED. On the 4th of July, 1865, at the house of Mr. William TO_REY, by M.W.
