CITY INTELLIGENCE.

and Friday next, by the generous ladies of that
neighborhood, will be a magnificent treat; and
as it is for the laudable purpose of completing
the new Church at that hourishing place, we
doubt not it will be numerously attended and
literally patronized. And here we take occa-
sion to mention some other beautiful improve
ments contemplated there. A spacious lot
(the gift of d liberal individually adjoining the
Church, has been reserved for Cemetery,
which will be TASTEFUL ylaid out and planted with
trees, after plan drawn by r, G. Long, Esq,
the architect of the building. We are glad TO
see this respect and reverence for the dead ex-
tending into the country. Another lot, also
adjoining the Church, has been set apart as a
glebe for Parsonage, and for the erection of
handsome village school. The whole property
is beautifully situated between the York Turn
pike aud the County road, leading to Jones'
Falls, with an entrance from botl. roads. The
residents of the neghborhood have displayed
commendable liberality towards this enterprise,
and contributed generously for the erection of
the church, which, we learn, will be completed
early in the ensuing spring, and be placed un-
der the care Of the Baltimore Presbytery. The
citizens of Govanstown also deserve no little
praise for their enterprise in the erection of ele-
giant and substantial dwellings, great many
having been built the past summer, while 9TH
ers have been commenced, and would soon be
completed, but for the inclement season. We
hope yet to see Govanstown become a popu-
lous and thriving place. She has already many
deserving, enterprizing and liberal citizens.
Fires. Oar Firen1en had quite an arduous
time of 1t on Sunday night, having been called
out to no less than three fires, between two
O'Clock and daylight. The first alarm about
two and half o'clock was caused by the barn
ing of the large three story house in little Wa
ter street, 70 'lnery Snown as "North Bend"
Fire was placed under the stairway on the first
floor by the incendiary, and the flames were
not discovered until bursting out of the roof
The house was the property ofCol. Sam'l Nc
Clellan, and was unoccupied. Insured in the
Firenen's office for $4,000. This is the third
time that this building has been fred within
the last three months. The house had lately
undergone thorough repair, and was to have
been occupied in a few days by gentleman
who had secured lease upon it for five years.
Before the fremen had left the above fire
another alarm was sounded, which was caused
by fire breaking out in one of the Engine Hou-
ses of the Baltic and Ohio Railroad at "Mount
Clare Depot" The building, thoJgh not of
much value, was consumed. All the engines
that were in it, excepting one, were gotten out
safely We lave not ascertalned how the fire
originated or what is the amount Of damage.
There was an insurance in the Firemen's of
flee of So 900, which will more than cover the
loss.
Simultaneous with the above, fire broke
out in small frame house used as a summer
kitchen, attached to house at the corner of
Spring street and Hog alley, which was entire
ly destroyed. The loss in this case was but
trling. Too much credit cannot be given to
our remen for their efforts in subdung the
fla mes 1t the above fire; many of them indeed
were out all night.
The Heather Yesterday was one of the most
dlsagreeahle days that we have experienced
this season Snow fell for a short time in the
mo ming, which soon changed to rain and sleet,
which continued to decend without internis-
sion until late hour in the evening. The
pavements were so slippery, thatit was danger
Gus to walk upon them. Those of our citizens
who were forced out OF doors by business, ge-
ncrally took the middle of the street for it. 1t
was day we'll calculated 10 give a man fit
Of the blues anu make him think seriously of
suicide.
Remoral and appointment. Mr. Robert VIII
son. for many gears tried and faithful deputy
sheriff, was displaced yesterday, and Mr. Henry
Diggs, of Fells Point, appointed in his place.
Fire in Baltimore County. We regret to
learn that the large Hot House, belonging to
Mr., Robert Ramsey, at Govanstown, Balti-
more county, was entirely consumed by fire,
with all his valuable flowers and plants, about
one O'Clock on Saturday night. The Hotel
adjoining was in iminent danger, and was with
great difficulty saved. MIR. Ramsey estimates
his loss at 2,00O,yet many of the flowers could
not be replaced with money. 1t is supposed
to have caught irem tn, bursting of one of the
flucs running through the house, which was
used for heating the plants.
Resisting an Officer. Samuel Bennett, charg-
ed with assauitng and resisting officer knigh-
ton while in the discharge of his duty, was
yesterday required to give security before JUS
tice Schaeffer. to appear and answer at the Sa
turday Court. He gave the security and was
discharged.
Assault ,piM Intent 10 XII. James Manly,
charged with assault with intent to kill Robert
McElry, was arrested yesterday by officer
Stockett and taken before Justice Egerton, who
released him on security to appear at Court.
In Jail. John Allen and Edward Allen, for
threatening and abusing Patrick Collins, were
yesterday committed to Jail in default Of secu-
rlty to keep the peace, by Justice Kennard.-
They were arrested by officer Moore.
Baltimore County Court. The jury in the
case of Dofemus vs.. Mccormick, who retired
to their room on Saturday about four O'Clock,

ed yesterday morning, in the rendition of
Judgment in favor of the defendant. The Jury
was thereupon finally disc larged. The gen
tlemen empanneled for the trial of city civil
business were then called, and dismissed till

evening in the Democratic Hall, South ST., by Waite

quite novel affair He will perform upon the Scstch
