Bonfires were kinded in the streets, cannon and
small arms discharged, huzzahs sent up in every
direction, blending with music from full band !;
the successful parties thus giving expressions TO
their unbounded delight.
Fire.-Yesterday afternoon three story house
on Seventh street, between d and e streets, was
discovered on fire; the flames bursting from the
roof of that part of ii occuTied by Mr. James Will
liams as cabinet shop. Owing to the combusti-
BILE character Of the contents, few minutes only
elapsed before the rear Of The building was entire
" consumed Soon afterthe front wall fell in two
sections, and several persons on the pavement
made narrow escapes with their. lives. One of
them had his nose slightly scratched by falling
brick and another was hastily Jerked out OF harms
way by friend who had the presence Of mind TO
perform that service for him. Most of the furni-
,ure in Mr.. Williams's ware-room was rescued
| Mr.. Sims occupied store in the same build
| ing, carrying on the business of plumbing; and
much of his extensive stock was saved from the
flames, but considerably damaged in the careless
manner Of removal.
We could no, learn whether the property was
insured
Every fire company in the city, we believe, was
present and worked manfully 10 prevent further
extension of the flames, in which noble effort they
succeeded.
Several thousands of persons thronged the
streets as spectators of the scene.
| Summer Arrangements.--The hall Of Repre-
sentatives, yesterday morning, wore decidedly a
summer appearance; the heavy purple drapery
| and the screens around the bar OF the House hav
ing been removed and straw-matting substituted
| for the carpets. The new light chairs ordered
have not yet arrived, but seats lighter than those
heretofore in use have been temporarily supplied
There is an aspect, too Of cleanliness, and always
on hand a plentiful supply of iced water
The Senate chamber has likewise been placed
in summer trim.
