flRkS.-About one O'Clock yesterday morning
officer Galloway, in making his round along Eden
street, near Lombard street, discovered pile of
shavings near cooper shop on fire. Only a few
moments could have elapsed from the time the in
cendiary applied the match, and the officer, by
much exertiOn put out the fire. lie then searched
the premises with the hope of discovering the in
cendiary, but without success.
Yesterday afternoon, about four o o'clock an alarm
of fire proceeded from engine house No. 5. 1t was
caused by the burning of several summer kitchens
nj hOuSns IN Ann ctr
street The fire originated in the kitchen attached
to house NO. l60 Ann street, owned by Geo. Morris
and occupied by Charles Shuttle which was de-
stroyed. The flames communicated to the kitchen
ct the adjoining house, No. l62, owned by Edward
Turner, and occupied by G. II. Wilson. This was
partially consumed. The kitchen of house No l5S,
owned by Samuel Colbert, and occupied by James
A. Townsend. This was also partially destroyed.
Ihe buildings were all frame, and the loss will not
exceed $500. The alarm was not communicated
from the engine house to the Central station as
promptly as it should have been. The horses of No
were harnessed and attached to the engine, the
hre started, and the apparatus on its way to the
fire before the alarm given. This is not the
first time that the alarm has been detained at No. 5
engine house, and the Chief Engineer who can not
possibly be aware of such misconduct) should see
that 1T will not occur again, serious results will
follow such action, if generally practised by the
different companies.
MILITARY AFFAIRs.-The Battalion of Baltimore
City Guard is rapidly increasing in numbers, and
was never more prosperous or in better condition
than at present. They number one hundred and
fifty uniforms, and heretofore have been divided
into three companies, A, b and G. 1t has been
found necessary to form fourth company, and on
Friday last the following gentlemen were selected
as officers for company d lst Lieutenant George
Walter; lst Sergeant, Ezekiel Gray; I'd do, Sam

two to each company, which will be hereafter ex-
clusively attached to the battalion, and be known
as the drum corps of the City Guard. The Law
Greys have also organized a drum corps of six eX-
perienced drummers which will be attached to that
company exclusively.
CLEANING THE SrREErs.-The Board of Health
have given orders to all the superintendent of
streets to rigidly enforce the law which requires
property-hOlders to keep the cutters and side
walks in front of their property clean of grass.
rms order had become necessary from the fact that
In streets composed entirely Of dwellings, the
grass has been allowed to grow until in some To-
Localities it is more than a foot in length. Its de-
composition would no doubt bring injurious effects
upon those neighborhoods, and therefore its re-
mova is necessary. Persons should have it pulled
out by the roots and thrown in heaps gut
ters, from whence 1t Will be removed by the city
carts. Those who fail to do will subject them
selves to the fines imposed by the city ordinances.
