FIRE.-A solitary looking building
standing in the forks of streets near
Roger Williams Spring caught fire
on Thursday night last about two
o'clock and was consumed. AS the
building stood behind a hill TO most Of
the ity,the flames seemed to rise up in
the business portion Of the town, and
frightened many terribly. The cries
of fire on that night have demonstra-
ted that many of our citizens have
lungs not in danger of consumption.
Such stentorian voices might wake
the dead. The house was last re-
sort for inebriates, On their fall drunkf,
who are now compelled to occupy the
soft side of the street. Loss estima-
ted at a peck of feas, and a scoop
shovel full of other vermin.

CHARIvART.-A disgraceful trans
action occurred on Tuesday night on
the occasion Of the marriage of well
known German baker and saloon
keeper of Commercial street. A small
crowd collected for the purpose of
supplying gratuitous music to the
happy pair by means Of circular saw
a couple of sticks and a WHISTLE
The bridegroom in his happiest mood
led his blushing partner out upon the
side walk and requested little more
of the same sort, which was granted
heartily. Then inviting the band in-
side. he remunerated them literally
for their harmonious sounds with the
contents of the bar. One Teuton,
of the band set bis services too high
and demanded more, which was de-
MED. and a row ensued in consequence.
The musician struck the bridegroom
in the face with a bottle: Bridegroom
laid aside the amiable for minute or
two and by few well directed blows
left an impre ssion of quite a lasting
nature on the counteuance of him with
the bottle. The war seems to have
been waged with considerable fury
afterwards. in which body of Ital-
ians joined as allies. The glass doors
of the saloon were stove in and vari-
Gus other depredations committed.
