GRowfH OF RE CRY NoRfRwARp. The
remarkable growth Of the city northward has
been the subject Of general remark; but We
imagine that many Of our stay.at- home citi-
lens have really q very inadequate idea of
the manner in which city improvements are
pushing out countryward ON some of the
streets leading in this direction Take Sew
entn street, Tor instance; from Pages wharf to
the group OF gravel-wall octagonal houses just
erected beyond the toll. gate there is success
sion OF buildings, many Of them of highly
ornamental character, covering IN extent Of
ground in direct line hardly rivaled upon
any ssngle street in any other city in the
country. Much of the credit for this re-
markable growth Is due to the enterprise and
sagscity Of q few pioneer merchants, who
planted themselves upon this outskirt of the
have 80 built up trade as to have now set the
current Of business in that direction.
The extent and varis'y of the stocks of
goods displayed in some Of these stores would
strike one, too, IS enormous, and not justified
by the amount of business to be done, were he
not enlightened as to the facts of the really 70.
msrkable amount Of trade performed on this
great Seventh street thoroughfare. The ex.
animation Of a single store-that of R. B. Hall.

first class goods, as far out as four doors be.
yond L street, can attract, q constant flow of
customers. To be sure he is obliged to sell a
little cheaper than those who have to pay
higher rents in the more crowded parts Of the
city, and this he can well afford to do We
advise our readers who wish to keep posted in
the progress Of city improvements to pay q
visit at Halls dry goods store, 373 Seventh

Bors INcIrIsG RIors.-The officers of po-
lice, in reporting to the chief of police this
morning exonerated the fremen of the city
from any participancy in the riotous demon.
STATIONS exhibited by a portion of the crowd
at the FIRE last night.
The disorder originated, it appears, with a
boy some fourteen or fifteen old, who ran down
the street crying, " Rally, boys! rally here
comes the Franklin" The fremen were then
at work and took no notice of the cry, but a
very large number of men and boys, who
were standing about rushed towards the ap.
preaching apparatus, which proved to be
the Union Hose Company.
Ihe chief OF police will doubtless demand
the strictest enforcement Of the law in regard
to minors.
TIE NATIONAL TuEATRE.-Ac correspondent
writes US: was one Of the delighted au-
dienee last night, and am happy to say found
