Considerable excitement was occasoned last
evening, in the vicinity Of st. Vincent's Catholic
Church, caused by dense volumes of smoke sud
denly rising in the area between the Orphans Asy-
lum and the church, leading to the supposition
that the latter fire. The fire was, however,
found to proceed from the basement of the Orphans
Asylum, in which are educated and taken care of
sixty orphan boys. The building was soon envel
oped in smoke, and considerable fears were enter
tanned for the safety Of the children, who were at
the time Of the ALARM with all the inmates Of the
building, engaged at their evening prayers in the
second story. The principal of the institution
ceeded in calming the fears Of the children, and
they were soon seen marching in single file down
the stairs, through the smoke, under the complete
control of their teachers and from thence into the
body Of the church, without accident to any of
them. The fremcn, after drcnching the lower
part of the building, succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, the damage being to the amount Of
about one thousand dollars.
