CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The HIa,her-GooI Sieighihg. Snow fell
gradually during the greater part OF yesterday,
and, with the freezing of that which fell the
day before, made the slcighing extremely good.
/ The streets were all alive with the merry Jingle
of the sleigh bells, creating great fun for the
juveniles Snow is still falling at the time we
are writing, and we shall doubtless have a con-
tnuation of good slcighing for some days.
The weather is exceedingly cold, rendering it
necessary for those who will enjoy the sport,
to 60 we'll wrapped up, TO escape bite from
! that distinguished parsonage universally known
as Jack Frost.
.4noth.r Destructive Fire. About B o'clock,
Yesterday morning, the extensive warehouse,
! on Dugan's wharf, few doors south Of Pratt
street, owned by Columbus O'DOnnel, was
discovered TO be on fire, by Waterman fanna-
gan, who Immediately gave the alarm. The
lower part, where the iire is supposed to have
originated, was occupied by Mr.. Alexander
AppIcgarth as grocery store, lie had an in
strance on his stock, in the Merchants office,
of $500, which, it is supposed, will more than
cover his loss. The second story was occupied
by Levi Taylor & Co., as a sand paper manu-
factory, not insured, and by Nicholas Ash, as a
paint shop, not insured also; loss in each case be-
tween and 500 The upper part of the house
was occupied by McNcal s Brinkley, as a sail
making establishment. They had an insurance
on their stock OF $500, IN the Merchants Of
fee, which will not cover the loss by $1,000
The house itself, we understand, was not in
surcd The building adjoining on the south,
owned by Mrs. Foreman, was slightly injured
on the roof and upper story, out secured by an
insurance in the Equitable Society. The
building on the north belonged to and was &C.
cupicd by Mr., James J. Fisher, 1t was Slight
" injured, but also covered by insurance in the
Firemen's Office. In ii were stored Al bales Of
cotton, all of which were wei on one end with
water, but not materially damaged. These
were likewise insured in the Firenens Office.
The fire companies were promptly on the spot,
and by extraordinary eXertions saved the ad-
joining property from any great damage. Had
they not have been so very energetic there
might otherwise have been very serious con-
fagraton. We are glad to say that they re-
turned home peaceably.
.qnolher. Last night about o'clock, an
old unoccupcd sugar-house belonging to Hugh
Bolton, ESQ.,, in Perry St, near Hanover, was
designedly fired, by some one Of the incenda-
ries who now infest our city. The 6'o.nen
were soon upon the spot, and succeeded in con-
fining the fire to the the house in which it org
mated. The loss will not be great. We could
hear of no insurance.
Correction. In our notice yesterday of the
Firemen's Riot at Canton, we were in error in
stating that Members of the 'New Market"
Company were in the fight. 1t gives us plea
sure to make the correction, as it will in every
instance when we unintentionally do any Of
our companies an injustice. The apparatus of
the .Ne,c Market was not present at the fire.
Official Yisit to the ,4l'nS-4ouse. In accord
ance with custom, an invitation having been
extended to the City Councils, by MIR. Holtz-
man, keeper of the Aims House, a number of
the members visited that institution Yesterday.
After examining the various departments and
internal arrangements of the institution, the
guests present sat down to sumptuous dinner,
rendered them by their host. The nyestiga-
ton proved highly complimentary TO Mr.. H as
a manager, and the entertainment equally flat
terng to the palate of those who partook of it,
and worthy the gentleman who rendered it.
Assault. A man named Reed, was arrested
yesterday morning, for assaultlng colored wo-
man in the Centre Market, and for resisting
the officers in discharge eftheir duty, He was
held to bail to appear at court.
Badly Hurt. We regret to learn that officer
McKewon, was bruised and considerably hurt
while endeavoring to suppress the riot at Can
ton, on Monday night. He has not been able
to attend to duty since.
County Court. The case of Mrs. VIM. B.
Barney VS.. John Barney was given to the Jury
: Yesterday, who retired to their room, with in
structions TO return sealed verdict to-day.
a Further Statement In reference to the
case of Edward J. Wilson, said to have been
{ released from religious institution in Cncni
natl. Ohio, after long confinement, we have
conversed with Mr.. P. Richardson, of Louis
vile, Nv, who procured his release, and he
has given us full and fair statement of the
whole affair, for which he is ready 70 be quail
fed We have no disposition to refer further
to the matter; but as an act of Justice to MIR.
{ r., and to prevent any wrong impressions
which might arise, we will merely state, that
the part of Mr.. r. in this whole matter was
prompted solely by the purest motives Of bene-
Violence and kindness. He found Wilson in a
most pitiable condtion-weak, naked, filthy;
his sympathes were excited, though an entire
stranger to him, his attention having been di-
rected towards him by stranger; and learning
, that he had formerly lived in Baltimore, for
which he Mr.. richardson was destined on q
visit, he procured his release, gave him two suits
of clothes, and brought him to Baltimore, al an
expense of upwards of $60 Since his arrival
here. It has been ascertained that he is highly
respectfully connected in this State, and well
: known to many Of our most respectable cti-
zens who have placed him in the Washington
Hospital.
