FIRE AT BUCYRus-ARREsT OF ONE THE Sup
POSED 1NCENDIARIES.-Our citizens were aroused
about three O'Clock on Sunday morning last by an
alarm OF fire. Upon reaching the streets, 1t was dis
covered that stable in the south west part Of the
town, owned by J. A. Gormly, and rented by Mr.
Holmes, in flames, and past all hopes Of being
saved At the time of its first discovery the roof was
falling in, and IL found impossible after several
attempts to rescue valuable horse belonging to Mr.
Holmes, from the flames The firemen were promptly
the spot but the citizens seeing that but little
could be done, and water not being at hand they
were unable to do any good While all were engaged
at this fire another alarm was given near the centre Of
the town, where it found that tho butcher shop
owned by Mr. Hofer had been also fred and the fire
was, when first discovered, getting under considerable
Roadway, but was extnguished before much damage
was done Michael Gsrbrich arrested on Sunday
afternoon by Marshall Scroggs upon suspicion OF hav
ing had hand in setting these fires, and placed in the
county Jail. We understand that there was nothing
positive proved, but that circumstances are very
strongly against him.-Bucyrus (Ohio) Forum Moy %.

Cholera rumors appear to be as abundant in city
ever but when traced up turn out to be unreliable
There is no doubt however that seine very
ly approaching it have occurred and that the pre-
yailing local complaints attributable less
to its influence.
A yeung man, named CASTOR c. Lecompte came to a
violent death yesterday. He returning with q
friend in buggy wagon, from Herring Run, when the
horse took fright and running against a gate post,
threw him out, fracturing his skull seriously to
Cause his death. 1t is great wonder that acct
dents do not this road among the large
Der OF our young lark who daily ride down to this po
pular resort and return with too unsteady to
guide their spirited animals.

Our ship builders in high spirits relative to the
reports Of the rapid sailing Of three Of their ships
now on their way to California The Greyhou nd was
reported, some time since, doubling Cape Horn

the Grey Eagle. that she doubled it her forty
seventh day out making the two shortest passages

Francisco in ninety days Tidngs have also Just been
received from the Susan G Owens, another Balti
more vessel which on her ninth day out, had passed

per day All this taken in connection with the fact
that the steamship Isabel recently had trial Of speed
coming out Of the port Of Havana with the steamer
Crescent City aud sailed round her two three times
isjust cause for honest pride among marine archi
tects. We have hitherto been famous for small
clippers, and that same fame will henceforward apply
to our merchantmen, packet ships and ocean steam
ers. The number Of orders from northern ports con-
stantly reaching here for Baltimore built vessels
