Exeter, occupied by Mrs. Richmond as fruit
store, was discovered on fire, and was entirely
f destroyed, and all its contents. A frame house
on the corner, adjoining, occupied by Mr.. Ste

entirely consumed. The loss is thought TO be
: heavy. Mr.. G. c. Goodman's shoe store in
Gay ST. was injured. We could not ascertain
the extent Of loss. Owing to the exertions of
the ilremen the fire was fortunately subdued.
Disturbance al the Firss-.4,rea Of t,oo Rioters
We regret TO say that at nearly every fire that
has occurred lately more OF less disturbance
has taken place. At the fire in Aisquith-st. on
Saturday night fracas occurred near the cor
ner OF Madison-st.; bricks and other missiles
were thrown in great numbers, doing SOME da.
mage to the windows in the neighborhood -
! High Constable Clifford succeeded with the aid
OF officer Stocket in arrestng two of the rioters
named Samuel G.. Booth and Henry H. Nor
gan. They were taken before Justice Belt,
who held them to bail to answer at the Satur-
day Court.

the night Lieut.. Jordan of Western district
night watch in going his rounds, discovered two
unoccupied new houses on fire ia German-st.
lie called assistance and with some difficulty
succeeded in arresting the flames On Satur-
day night about o'clock the extensive stables
of Mr.. Mofitt, in Lberty-st near Pratt. were
also designedly fired; but as in the above cases
was fortunately discovered in time and put ont,
without the aid of the firemen. There appears
to be ne doubt, that not only these attempts,
but the successful fires recorded in another pa
! ragraph were the work of incendiares If so the
strong inference is that our city is infested with
deSperadoes, whose object is to rob, and that
they Will resort to any means for the purpose of
accomplishing their nefarous purposes. II be-
comes necessary, therefore, that the Police be
especially vigiant. We say again that every
| citizen should keep strict watch
