CITY A FAIRS.

FIRE.-Y esterday morning, about half past o'coc ok,
dense volume of smoke was seen to issue from the
third story windows of brick tenement on eth street,
between Broad and Marshall streets, occupied by Mr.
Alberger, who keeps grocery store the fist floor,
and whose family resides up stairs. Being Immediately
opposite the Shockoe Hill Market House, large crowd
collected about the premises few minutes after the
smoke made its appearance Upon erqlry into the
cause OF the smoke, we learned that b4,ket of clean
clothes had been placed chair in the front room of
the third story-that these clothes had probably been
fired by some malicious person-hat the basket, clothes
and chair, together with bureau, had been destroyed,
but that the house itself had sustained no damage
The bells in the second and third wards sounded the
ALARM however, and the fremen with their reels and
engines lost time ia repairing to the scene of
hagraton."
ABUSING and MALTREATING A WoMAN--A VIII lie
named Richard Richards was yesterday had up
before the Mayor, charged with assaulting and abusing
Mrs. John P. Shannon on Tuesday last. Mrs. Shan
non liveson Clay street, between 18th and 18th Streets
or, in other words in the Valley" Richards it ap
pears, is her next door neighbour, and cg uncouth
and unpleasant neighbour, il he is, Mrs. S.
yesterday stated that whilst sitting in her porch on
Tuesday evening" Richards out of his house, and
without any provocation commenced abusing her in
manner absolutely shocking-callng her names and
using language too obscene be repeated in court.
Mrs. S. Immediately withdrew from the porch entered
her house and closed the door, Richards shortly after
wards went away, swearing vengeance against the Shan
mons in general, and Mr.. John P Shannon in particular
Towards night however he returned and observ ed
to have in his right hand either dirk shoemakers
knife which he scraped with great gusto against the
bricks in front of Mrs Shannons house, for the pur-
pose, the good lady imagined, of frightening her He
however, committed no farther outrage that night
Next morning, whilst Mrs S., like thrifty house wife
she doubtless is sweeping about her front yard
the revengefu Richards showed his ugly mug the
front gate and accosted Mrs S. After passing one o,
two words, Richards had the daring eronterv to spit
in Mrs Shannon's face Now, this is species of in
suit which no spirited woman would tamely submit
and one surely which but mscreant would offer
SO Mrs S. struck at him, with all her might with the
broom which she held IN her hand. But he escaped
uninjured. Mrs. Shannon hereupon concluded to APP
ply to the Mayor for redress-Hs Honour heard all the
testimony and then held Richards to bail in the
800 keep the peace and be of good behaviour for
the space of twelve months.

HEAVEN.

T.. Ii.
Is Heaven a place where pearly streams
Glide over silver sand!
Like childhoods rosy dazzling dreams
OF some far fairy land!
Is Heaven cline where diamond dews
Glitter on tadeless flowers,
And mirth and music ring around?
All no! not such, not such is Heaven
Surprising far all these;
Such cannot be the guerdon given
Mans weary soul TO please.
For saint and sinner here below
Such vain to be, have proved;
And the pure spirit will despite
Whateer the sense hath loved.
There we shall dwell with Sire and Son,
And with the Mother Maid,
And with the Holy Spirit one,
In glory like arrayed;
And not to one created thing,
Shall our embrace be given;
But all our Joy shall be in God,
For only God is Heaven.

THE DOCK CONNECTION.

The James River and Kanawha Company are now
actively prosecuting the oo-long deferred work OF con-
Meeting the Basin with the Dock. The route selected
is the one formerly designed il not used for similar
purpose, commencing at Messrs LudIam & Watsons
warehouse on 9Th street, and connecting with the canal
which supplies the Dock with water, at Mr.. Williams
saw mill. The grade to be overcome in making this
connection, though immense, will be easily surmouned
byfive locks and two capacous basins. The locks are
10 be constructed of native hewn granite embedded in
hydraulic cement-are to be fifteen feet wide and one
hundred and feet long, and eighteen feet lift; the
basins to be sixty feet in width and hundred and
eighty feet long.
Operations have been commenced about the centre
of the line, and some pretty deep excavations have
been already made. The contractors expect to COM
plete the entire work in about years from its
mencement. When Finished it will not only prove d
most useful improvement, but will be which may
justly be regarded with pride.

BRANDRETFS PILLS, AND THE BODY'S
WASTE.-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth the Brandrethan SYSTEM we would entrea
them to ponder well upon the following facts
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the rami-
catlons OF the system, not only impars strength and
connuates life, but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part OF the animal machine. 1.-THE
blood therefore is pure and healthy, the body which is
formed and supported by the blood be diseased
But there be in any part OF the body any Affection such
as bile or ulcer, bruise the blood circulating
through part takes up impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system This
the often OF sudden death persons of full hab
it, afflicted with bes, and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality, and life if bereft by lightning. Now
this can be remedied-the Brandreh Pills will if used
at these times take all impure matters from the cir
culation and the general health at the same time,
they curing the local affections.
Oh how important it is TO now find that this subject
be we'll comprehended it would save many from ted-
Gus times Of sickness, and often their
to their friends when otherwise the tomb would have
its ctim.
