The building was entirely destroyed with the
greater part of its contents. The fire was sup
posed to have been caused by an inceadiary, and
the loss falls heavily upon parties i'll able to bear
| it, as there was no insurance.
| ONE OF THE NOBILITY IN LTMEO.-A young nan
who calls himself Baron Colonel Camille de Ia vii
liere de Kaib, (whew, what name) but who goes
| by the less aristocratic appeaton Of Charley
Miller among his acquaintances on the police and
elsewhere, was arrested on Friday night by Lieu
tenant Boylan upon the accusation that he was
using for his own benefit document to which was
attached signature purporting to be that of Hon
L. Pope Walker, Secretary of War authorizing
him to raise companies, subscriptions etc. for the
Southern Confederacy. AIiller-excuse u.s. the
| Baron-acknowledges having used the document

tended for him, lie having found it the streets of
Memphis He was sent to the Work house for six
months.

! STEALING FROM THE SOLDIERs.-'T 'Tis a mean dog
who will steal at any time, but to steal from the
brave men who are about to leave all that they
love- to go and fight the battles of their country,
eyinces a depth Of depravity hardly possible to
imagine. Yet such is the charge made against

are stationed at the Southern Cotton Press on
Lafayette street. We hope, for the sake of hu-
| manity, that KiIbrignt may be able to clear his
skirts Of the charge.
MAD DoGs.-The number Of rabid dogs which
are seen in the streets is really great considering
the efforts which have been made to shorten the
stock of the article dog by poisoned sausages or
otherwise. On Saturday Lieutenant Boyan killed
one on Customhouse street, and we have heard of
several others having been seen in different parts
of the city. The eXertions in regard to the sau
| sages should not be relaxed.
BEWARE OF BOGUS BALL TlcKETs.-A woman has
been going around the city of late, selling tickets
for military ball, and has succeeded in disposng
| of quite number to persons anxious,to assist the
great cause by every means in their power. These
tickets are bogus concerns, as no such ball will be
given, or was ever thought of, except by her. We
would suggest that our liberal citizens would pay
strict attention that their good feelings may not be
imposed upon by sharpers who adopt every means
to make money.

noon.
