We arc assembled here to-day under one
common sympathy. such as whole commu-
nifty seldom tetl; for who is not Sincere

PnoToonAPnY.-Never before was there
such a rush for photographs, especially the
carries de risife, and the various establishments
in the city are taxed to their very utmost to
supply the demand. In this connection We
woald refer our readers to the new anl hand
some establishment Of s, Alschu1cr, SC Rnn-
dolph street. His rooms are entirely new, and
elaborate1y fitted up. Heis ready to take not
only single individuals, but has thorough
appliances for taking large groups. Mr..
Alschuler has also in his rooms photograph
OF the Circuit Court in session, with the
ln1nented Judge Manicrre presiding. As there
| arc but q few portraits Of the deceased, this
one will be regarded with peculiar Interest.
| TRIAL OF MOSTGoMERY'S ANTI CONHCs-
T1BLE So1CT1oS.-The trial at the foot Of
Washington street, Saturday afternoon, in
the presence of Mayor Sherman, Chief Eu-
| ginter Harris, and several thousand citizens,
was generally satisfactory; however, there
there were few who expected to have seen
wood changed to stone or iron. The build
ing nron which the trial was made (threc by
Fix feet square) had been saturated with the
solution, and though fire VAS built inside Of
very infammable notwithstanding and kind
ling, saturated with benzine, half filing the
bui1diug-crcating q heat 80 intense as to
melt the glass in the windows, within fifaccu
minutes after it was fired, the building stood
the intense heat fpr about forty-tve minutes,
when it fell, some portions being charred.
As soon as removed FROM the burning mass
the flame ceased. 4 building Of the same
Kind and size, unprotected by the solution,
would have bten entirely consumed by that
fire, in five 10 eight minutes.
