FIRE.-Between the hours of IL and o'clock
yesterday, fire broke out in the kitchen Of
Mr.. trazer's house, we are told, near the corner
| OF Prytania and Melpomene streets. Mr.. Fra
GERS house was destroyed, and the flames COM
municated to several small wooden out houses
IN the rear Of Mr.. Labatt's dwelling, entirely
consuming them The house of Mr.. Labatt, o
| fine two-story frame cottage, fronting on Pry-
tannia street, was considerably injured in the
upper chambers, but was saved by the strenuous
exertlons OF the fremen. That of Mr. White
was also somewhat injured and narrowly escaped
destruction. Several of our most efficient fire
companies were on the spot in time, and display
ed their usual activity, otherwise the loss of
property must have been much greater.
| PETER RoHRBAoHER AGAIN.--We received a
report of this individuals death some days since,
| together with the verdict of jury of INQUEST,
| and supposed Of course that it was all right
We were somewhat mystifed the next day BY
receiving q contradiction to cur statement of
| the circumstance, and were altogether aston
ished yesterday to learn that Peter had UNDER
gone another investigation by the Coroner's Jury
who had returned q verdict similar to the former
one. 1t was natural suggestion at first that
this was merely by way of q clincher, but we
have since learned that the person upon whom
| the first inquest was held was named Foulk
and that the mistake occurred from an acciden-
tai transposition ef names at the Charity Hos
pital, whereby Rohrbacher obtained the credit
of being insane and of having &c shuffed off this
| mortal coil" He, it appears, had received an
injury similar to that Of Foulk and in the same
| manner--by the railroad cars-hence the mis-
take In names. Mr.. Rohrbacher unfortunately
died yesterday, and the matter may now be con-
sidered cleared up and settled.
