A New York College has appended to Old Abe's patronymic the mysterious letters ‘"L. L D."’--which the wags with little reverence for his position, but much for his personal qualities, interpret, ‘"Long Legged Donkey."’ A fire occurred in Tullahoms, Coffee county, Tenn., a few days ago, which consumed thirteen houses and among them four stores.--The loss was estimated at $18,000, with only $1,000 insurance. The Cincinnati Enquirer states that the loss sustained by the pork packers in that city up to the present time will not fall short of a million of dollars. George Yuille, a prominent citizen of Campbell county, Va., died suddenly on Tuesday last.
