| FIRE, and communicated a spark to the roof,
which was entirely burnt off, and the upper
story much damaged. The house belonged to
Mr.. John Merrett, and was fully insured in the
Equitable Office. Mr. Justis, who occupied the
upper stories as 4 dwelling, was the only occu-
pant who suffered any damage, and that was in
his furniture, to the amount of some $20O-hot
insured. Egerton's "ever lucky" Office was
lucky enough to sustain no damage whatever.

make its escape from the flames, but on fire.

Temperance Celebration. The Sons of Tenn
perance had a special celebration at Annapolis
Yesterday. The steamers POcahontas and
Maryland went down from Baltimore, crowded
with passengers, to Join in the celebration with
their brethren of Annapolis, and we learn had
pleasant and fine time of it. They had a
procession through the "ancient city," accom-
with excellent music, and proceeded to the State
House Hill, where the beautiful Banner, paint
ed By Thos. r. Jeffries, Esq ofthis city for the
Ladies of Annapolis to present 10 the 10th Di-

prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Hawkins, the celebIat-
ed Temperance Lecturer, addresses were deliv-
| cred by DR.. Jennings, Rev. Mr.. Hawkins and
Mr.. COllett. The proceedings were interesting
and every thing passed offin the most agreeable
manner. Those who went from Baltimore re-
turned last evening highly delighted with their
trip.

The Heather. A great change has again ta-
ken place in the temperature of the weather,
and instead of hot, scorching days, I'VE now have
it so cool that fires would not be very uncom-
Portable. AT O'Clock, yesterday morning, the
thermometer in our Office, stood at 81 degrees,
and at O'Clock P. M. at 72, difference Of "a
degrees since that hour on last Sunday. Such
sudden changes must cause much sickness, and
every person should clothe himself accord
ingIy, and avoid exposure to the night air.
Larceny. Officer knghton and Ray, yes-
terday arrested Francis Johnson, colored, ,charg-
ed with the theft Of silver watch and guard,
the property of white man, named Francis
Darlin. Justice Peters committed him for
further hearing,
Ron or We learn that the British brig
Iebulon, Capt, Thomson, which sailed from
this port in the early part of the week, for ST.
Johns, N. F., carried off four young lads Of re-
spectacle families on the Point, who are suppos-
ped to have run off and secreted themselves on
fsthe vessel until she sailed. No cause can be
assigned for the freak, and it is thought that
strong Inducements were held out to them, for
! certain purposes. They probably desired "to
go to sea-" and have no doubt been gratified
before this, and have seen sights they little
dreamed of
"A Pic Mic Party The teachers and scholars
attached to the LIST German Reformed Presby
teran Church, in Second street, under the Rev.
Mr.. Heiner, proceeded yesterday morning in
six omnibuses, to grove on Mr.. Frisby IS place,
on the York Road, to spend the day. The
''Lady Jane" omnibus, with six horses attach |
ed, and FIVE two horse omnibuses, were crowd !
ed with the young and buoyant children, who |
appeared in high life at the prospect of day of
pleasure which was before them. They born |
with them on the tops of the emnibuses, beau
tiful banner, and number of U. S. flags, and
arrived at their destination without accident.
The day was spent in most agreeable manner,
with appropriate exercises, and all returned to
the city in the evening, much pleased with
their "pic mic" party. Nothing occurred dur
ing the day, to mar the universal pleasure of
the Company.
"7he eyes haze It," A rencontre took place
yesterday between two parties in the neighbor-
hood ofthe Lexington market, when one kick
ed the others eye out. 1t appears that "Tom"
assaulted "Bill," who went to friend to know
what retaliation would be Just. The friend ad-
vised him to'" click" Tom, which he did, kick
ing out one of his "peepers." Tom then went
to the same friend and asked W hat he should do,
when he was advised to "fnish" Bill, and went
off with the full determination of doing so.-
They seem disposed to settle their own disputes
without recourse to law, the verdict of which
will probably be- that the eyes and nose will
have the majority ...
Discharged. Arthur Murray, whose arrest
