FiRE.--About one o'clock this morning large
frame stable near Hartford Run, and between
Baltimore aud Pitt streets, was on fire. Part Of
the house was used as store house for carihcn
ware from the Pottery in the neighborhood. -
The contents of the building, which included two
valuable horses, were consumed, The fire was
the work Of design. While the fire companies
were engaged at the fire, similar attempt was
made to that the night pr, vous, TO render The
companies useless by cutting their hose. IL will
b. seen, on references to our advertising columns,
that one OF them has offered a reward If 3 100
for the apprehension Of the person or persons
who committed the act.
There is no doubt our city is infested with a
gang Of desperate ncenhia and while the
police arr actively engage in their cndeavors to
discover some trace of the persons who havt
caused so much destruction among Us within a
fsw weeks, it becomes the citizens n>rally TO

outrages

ing says, we learn that when the engineer Of the
Union Fire Company, opened the engine house
on Tuesday night last he found the torch which
had been left Lighted in il, placed under wood
in situation precisely similar to the Liberty
Engine House. Had he been few minutes Ia
ter, the design would have proved successful.

FEMALE COURAGE.

A German journal contains the following account
OF female servant, named Krettell, whose courage
gave rise TO the discovery of band of robbers who
infested the frontiers of Baden and Bavaria. She
lived with one Hoffkirch, who kept a public house
in the country between Honberg and Rottwell.
Some countrymen were amusing themselves with
relating stories of thieves who assembled near glib
bet in the neighborhood, whereupon a traveller, who
listened to them, offered two ducats to any one who
had the courage to mark cross upon the gibbet.
This the women undertook to do, and left the house.
Arrived at the place, and having marked the gibbet
with the cross, gun was discharged, and she, see.
ing horse attached to tree mounted on his back,
and instantly galloped away. On the following
morning the innkceper went to the neighboring town
to inform the authorities of the circumstance eav-
ing the woman alone in the house. There soon ar
rived traveller, who called for breakfast he put
his horse into the stable, and there saw the other
morse, the mode of possessing which the woman ex-
planned The traveller, returning from the stable
to his breakfast called for a bottle of wine in a
manner which excited the suspicion Of the woman I;
she, however, lighted candle, and went into the
cellar, when, to her astonishment she was followed
by the man. She blew out the candle, hastily quit

A FRAGMENT.

The calm waters smiled, for the storm had passd by
And the moon on their bright surface quyered;
When saw like spectre, float silently by,
A wreck that the tempest had shivered.
A tentantless, rudderess, chance driven thing,
No canvass to steady ITS notion
IL Law like bird with a stocm-stricken wing,
Inert on the bosom Of ocean,
Tho il heayed in the swell ofthe moon siverd sea,
The scene with no glory had crowned it;
Dismantled and sear'd, its dark hull seemed 10 be
A blot on the radiance around it.
And Oft in the world-when mid music and mirth
The crowd bright dream is pursuing
Gldes by some marred scion of honor and worth,
That aflction hath rendered ruin:
Some dread dspensation he looked not to meet,
Each hope that he clung to hath shattered
And left him with life, when no longer It's sweet,
To the heart that its tempests have scattered.
He smiles not for JOY hath for him passed away:
He weeps not-hs sorrow entombing;
Is he not a week ?-and oh, where is the ray
His desolate path shall ilumine

NOVEL PUNISHMENT.

Two old Jews who go about London, dealing in
old ciothes,--passing by genteman's stable, were
so fascinated BY couple of jackets, belonging to
postiilons, that they could resist the temptation
OF adding them to their stock in trade While they
were secreting their prize, the owners returned from
puDic house where they had been drinking por-
ter, and saw the whole transaction. They rnsbed
out, seized the Israeltes, locked them up in the
stable, and went in quest of certain things which
promised better sport than prosecution They re-
turned, tied the Jews face to face and matted to-
gether their long boards, smeared with warm shoe
makers wax. As soon as it was cold and sufi-
cent number of spectators had gathered together to
view tins raterna Jewish hug, the Positions at in

ANECDOTE OF A TURTLE

A British officer on board of ship which touch
ed at the island ofAscension her way to England
informed me that they took in several large turtles
and amongst others, which from some accident
mad only three fins The sailors on board called it
LORD Neison' and 1t was marked in the usual
way, by having certain initials and number burnt
upon Its under shell with a hot iron which marks
are never to be obliterated Owing to various caus-
es the ship was delayed her voyage, many of the
turtles died, and othersbe came sickly. This was
the case of Lord Nelson, and it was so near death
when the ship arrived in the British Channel, that
the sailors threw it overheard in order as they said
to give 1t chance. Its native element, however.
appears to have restored it; for two years after
wards the very same turtle was found at it's old
haunts in the island of Ascension. The proofs
brought forward of the accuracy of the statement
places the fact beyond doubt and affords won-
derful instance of the instinct of this fish.

an even uninterrupted inexorable step, without ac-
commodating itself to the delays of mortals. The
restless hourspursue their course-momentsp press af

abors and tolls, our ideas and feelings may be sus-
pended by sleep-darkness, silence and death may
reign around US, but Time rests not but presses
long and knows no stoppages. We may dam up
mighty rlvers-stop them in their journeying the
