SUDDEN AND DIsAs-RoUs CONFEDERATION. -
Yesterday little before ~ o'clock, fire was
discovered in a stable belonging to Mr.. Beckel
in the rear of the Dayton Hotel, corner Of Third
and Madison streets. The flames were almost
Immediately communicated to the Stable of the
Hotel, and the Stabling and other combustible
material on either side of the alley were in an
incredibly short time envelOped in flames
The house Of Mr.. Browning on Madison street
in close proximity to the burning stables and
shedding was soon on fire. portion only Of
the furniture was saved, so furious was the
flames, and. before the engines could possibly
get to work the entire building was wrspt in
FIRE. The wood work Of the house was almost
entirely burned out, leaving but the blackened
walls. The grapes, shrubbery, and extra nice
conveniences in the yard were also destroyed
The furniture saved was necessarily somewhat
damaged in the hurry of removing it, His loss
is estimated at nbout$2, 900. We are told that
hew not insured
The frame house, adjoining, belonging to Mr..
A. Phillips, was considerably damaged bnt
thanks to the efforts of our fremen, that and
the surrounding property was protected from
the flames, and the confaRration was soon ar
rested, and the fire quenched.
Several buildings, stables and outhouses in the
vicinity were pretty severely scorchsd, and the
fencing in the neighborh hood was either burned oil
torn down to prevent the spread Of the flames
which seemed intent upon fastening upon eve
rythiug combustible. The horses were re-
moved with difficulty, but owing to the rapid
spread of the FIRE little else was saved, We
have not heard an estimate of the loss from the
FIRE of yesterday, but suppose it to be over $3.
600.
The fremen, as usual, acted like heroes, ex
erting themselves to the utmost in saving prop
erty, and arresting the spread of the fames.-
Many Of them performed daring feats, which
made:bystanders shudder for their stfety. The
wind was blowing towards the main part o
the SO uare, aud at one time it was feared that
the entire square would be destroyed. Th'
6remen, and citizens generally deserve grea
credit for their promptitude aN energy.
The origin Of the fire is not known. 1t il
reported that party Of boys were 10 the stabl
of MIR. Beekel but a short time before the fir
broke out, and that the first alarm was made BY
them. 1t is possible that they carelessly igni
ted the litter while lighting cigars.

LETrER TH1EvING-For some time past bust
ness letters have been missing from boxes in
the Post Office, and various sums OF money
taken. We learn that on the other day one Of
the thieves, small boy, was detected, and
taken into custody. He divulged the names Of
several other boys, who he claims, were en-.
gagged with him in the business. 1t was sup
posed that older heads were at the bottom of
this thieving, and we were requested, by the
police, to withhold, for the present, the nfor
nation from the public, as it was expected that
something would transpire which would result
in eliciting the desired information; but as yet
nothing has transpired TO at all relieve lhepar
ties. As the matter has not yet been investi.
gated before the proper authorities, and the
guilt or innocence of the parties been ascer-
tanned, we refrain from mentioning their names
to the prejudice Of some of the boys who are
believed from what has already transpired to
be innocent. We presume that in event of the
guilt of the boys, the Post Office Department
will be appealed TO to settle the matter, as the
suspected parties are all very young

BLACK vs. BRowS.-Blacf and Brown were
at the show the other night, and we're highly
delighted with the performance. 1t seems that
upon this question they agree and we note the
fact simply because it is the first instance
known of their entire coincidence upon any
question which has two sides TO it. There was
but one item which threatened to furnish ground
for disagreement. Black observed that Mon
keys were so exceedingly clever, it was a pity
they could not reason; when Brown, (who had

the police were put upon his trail, up to late
hour this morning, he had not been heard
from.
