FIREs.-A FIRE broke ont on Friday night at 10
o'clock, in the kitchen Of Mr.. c. L. Pitcher on An
nanciation street, between Washington and Sixth
streets. When it was put out, the kitchen and a
portion of the house had been destroyed. The
cause of that fire is yet unknown.
at haifp two o'clock on Saturday morning
the stable Of Mr.. John B. Fitch, on Chippewa
street, between Washington and Sixth streets, was
also discovered on ERE. When the alarm was
given the fire had made such progress that the ex-
ertions of the remen were of no avail to save the
stable. That fire is supposed to be the work of an
incendiary.
RoBBERiEs IN THE FIFTH DIsTRIoT.-From the
Jefferson journal Of Saturday we learn that on
Wednesday night last some enterprising thief or
thieves helped themselves to about barrel Of SUI
gar from one Of the several hogsheads lying in
front of the grocery store of Brand & Co., oppo-
site the market.
On the same night a shoe store ON the same
square was broken open, but we learn nothing was
taken, the intruder probably being scared of be-
fore he succeeded in supply ing W. wants. That
very same night the premises of Mr.. Salvador,
keeper Of the coffeehouse opposite Brands store,
were invaded, and lot of feathered bipeds were
among the missing next morning. We are in
formed that another grocery, on bordeaux street.
was broken into and goods taken, but ne did not
learn the particulars.
The DIsEyIoN OF EXCHANGE ALLEY.-It is pretty
known that the Post-ofice has seeded
from Morgan's bookstore, on Exchange Place, and
taken up its quarters in the basement of the new
The effect Of the separation is
painfully visible. The Postoffioe misses Morgans,
and Morgan's misses the Post-ofice. So long and
20 inseparahly had the two been connected,
almost, aa it we're, in a twinlike community Of
public accommodation, that the visitor to either
looks around for the other, and has to
sigh upon finding it not. Ills q shame that they
are separated. 4 is certain that the Postnfiee will
never go back to Morgan's, the friend and boon
Of ita former years.
Merchants and others, whose time hangs heavily
D mornings as they await the irregular and uncer-
Tain mails and delivery of their letters and papers,
have now no literary nook in which to while away
the time, skimmng over the literary weeklies and
pictorials and the cheap publications and new
books, all smelling fresh of the printing press
and decoying the postoffiee pensoner so unwit-
tingly through the hours. No. The people who
wait the mailopenings must stand around in stless
idleness il that does not suit their only solace is
tho coffee-house across the street.
As Morgan's was used by many people as sort
of public highway from Exchange Alley to Royal
street, and as many hundreds Of those who were
in the daily habit Of standing around the counters
and tumbling the books and papers about, reading
BY the hour, did SO without ever buying anything
Or in any wise paying FOR their entertainment, it
may be questioned by some whether the removal
of the Post-ofice and its crowds is not happy
to Morgan.
It seems, however, that it ia not happy rid,
dance. Ne dropped in at Morgans the other day,
70 see how things got on. The scene was silent
and dismal enough. The big tom-cat, so long
known to the habitues Of the place, came trotting
over the books and rubbed our arm with all the
affection inspired by period of unexpected deser-
ton aud solitude. The old gentleman who stands
behind the newspaper counter was asleep, stand
ing up; his spectacles only watching the papers
The saturnine boy was on.a ladder away up among
the rafters and eobwebs silently busting the books

he leaped from his stool, rushed to the counter
