"THE BRICK" a notorious house on the Cam.
den road was burned to the ground. on Fri.
day morning. about o'clock. 1t was not oc
cupied. A singular fatality seems to follow
the bad houses in that region. Some of the
inmates have lie the country, and others have
taken shelter in this city. There are several
houses in this place whose inmates will soon
bring upon themselves merited punishment,
unless they change their manners. Braxen
faced st, umpets who stalk the streets, day and
night, Gro ding respectable ladies off the side
walks. and exciting the admiration aud laugh
ter of corner loafers, will not be permitted to
flourish long. BY keeping quiet and obscure.
in their infamous retreats, they may escape
the Indignation Of an outraged community
not other wise.-R. 1. argus.

weather.
The PRIZE RING IN DAVENPORT
We understand that in consequence Of tho ref.
rees not having decided the "milr' alluded to
by Us as having taken place in Trout's saloon
last week, the candidates for pugilistic honors
will meet to-day, to finish the fight. Tom
says the sponge was too small the last time. as
he did not see it thrown up when the little
Giant knocked under. We understand that
Lahrmans big sponge has been borrowed to
be used on this occasion only. The fight is to
take place In Trout's chicken coop !; the roos.
ters are to be driven up in corner ard the
first one that dares to crow until the fight is
