We have to record The occurrence OF snoth-
"a destructive couhaaatOn in this city lnyol'-
Ing the Gloss Of one Of the ANY yard buildfnga
toyeihef with other property, amounting N ne
aggregate % about ainssn thousand dollars
The 6r. occurred about s o'clock yesterday
morpinr in the brick building which, had been
l.ss.s frem he city for a term Of thirty years,
bv Messrs. A. J. Wat a Co, and oeenPied by
them as a warehouse.
The FIRE burned with fearful rapidty andthe
work az destruction was hsslened BY the e2-
plosion Of some ~eombustble naterial, sup
posed 10 be Liquor, which was stored
in the building. At one time the school
building adjoining the warehouse was
In imminent danger, and the CONSERVATION
among the pupils Of the school was fearful.
Through the almost supsrhuman exsrtions Of
oar gallant hremen he flames were prevented
from communicating to the adjoining build
ings.
The totsllcss BY the Ere is between thir-
teen and fourteen thousand dollars, Messrs-
A. J. Walt & Co, being the principal suffer
ers, having sustained a loss Of about $4,000
on the hailding, and about $1,000 in fine
brand.ss. There were also stored in this
building two hundred and one bales Of hay
and thiry-six barrels Of whisky, the property
Of R. P. Walt, valued at Sl20o, which az
teles were all lost There was no insurance
whatever either on the buildings OF goods.
Agsntleman named Nssbitt in the employ
Of Messns- A. J. Walt 4 Co, occupied an
apartment in the building. and his household
effects were al lost. Mr.. Nesbitt is absent
from the city and his family were left in great
distress.
The FIRE was no DOUBT caused BY IN inoen-
diary, as it was known there was no fire in
the building a few minutes before the flames
burst forth. Suspicion has fastened upon a
certain party as the perPeiratOr Of the foul
deed, but 10 one has yet been arrested under
the charge.
Two or three accidents occurred during the
Ere, bat nothing Of a serio1s character. NJ.
John Kirk, jr., Of the Hook and Ladder Com
psny, was oyercons by The heat and his own
noble sxertions, and was carried away from
tbs scene. We regret thai a disturbance oe-
CURED between sane Of The members Of the
Nc. 6 and No. 3 Fire Companies, but are graf
lied thatnsi.hsr party sustained fatal injuries.
HoUsEKEEFER's NEws.-It is q general
complaint that il is neU 10 impossible to find,
az this time, anything in the city good to eat.
We discovered one place yesterday-SpiesI's,
on Madison street, west Of Main; he has glo-
rious sweet country butter, which comes in
daily. He has also spring ohiexens, fresh
eggs and many other spPetizing articles. His
spiced Q, sters are an especial treat Just now, as
an agreeable variety Tor the table they are
fns and luscious, and 80 pat up as 70 preserve
their native favor they are IN sesled cans, and
ia fine condition for use. Spiesr's is really a
useful place at the present time, where some
thing can be obtained that will make an en-
meal, and the hungry, especially the
Of delicate appetite, VIII do well to
csll upon him.
