This Young and beautiful artiste has voice as
extraordinary in compass and power as it is rare
and pure in its tone. 1t extends from third line
below in the clef to in alt-including three
tones. With passionate and energetic devotion
to her art, she has triumphed over the difficulties
in execution which beset the young singer at the
present day, and could she be prevailed upon to
appeal to general favor, we have not doubt OF
her most signal success Talent Of this character
should be used as God intended it should be-like
Jenny Linds-to make the largest number better
and happier.

cimens of the typographical art that we have ever
seen, is the Business Almanac lately issued on

By the way, these gentlemen do everything in the
printing line with neatness and accuracy that
should entitle them to liberal share ofpubic
patronage.

A fire occurred on Saturday, in the rear base
ment of ia Centrest., owned and occupied by
the New-York Gas Company. 1t was quickly
extinguished, with but triAing damage.
On Sunday afternoon, fire was discovered
in the building II Broadway, occupied as & resi-
dence by Oliver II. Burnham. The rear building
was occupied by Mr. B. as silk and lace ware
house. The damage done by the fire was but
slight, compared with that caused by the efforts
to extiDguish it. The fire was caused by defect
in the fues for heating the buildings, and before
it was discovered the spaces between the parti-
tions were all in flames. This rendered it neces-
sary to food the building in order to extinguish
the fire. The total damage will not fall short of
s20,o0O-which we understand will be fully COW
