from the United States causes great agitation
among the imperialists and extreme anxiety

Santiago, near Orizaba, has declared for
Juarez, recognizing Gen. Garcia as the liberal
governor of Vera Cruz. This place offers
great advantages to the liberals, as It puts them
in connection with the States of Tobasco and
Chiahas. Various bodies of Liberals are unit
cd there, and are seriously menacing Orizaba
itself and the railroad from Vera Cruz The
imperialists attacked the place twice, and
were severely repulsed, which caused great

of the Centre Grammar School, the pupils tes-
titled their regard for him in very handsome

with valuable silver pitcher, upon which was
an appropriate inscription. The presentation
was made, in behalf of the pupils, by Mr..

compliment, was very much surprised and af-
fected, but he responded in appropriate terms
to the good wishes of his former pupils.

FIREs.-About IL O'Clock Saturday noon a
house on Willow Street, belonging to the
jerks estate, caught fire in the attic, as is SUD-
posed, from spark from the chimney falling
into the attic through the open scuttle. The
house was occupied by Mr.. Levi w Smith and
Mr.. William d. James, who removed most of
their furniture. Their loss is about $500. The.
building was badly damaged, especially in the
attic, but was insured in the Portland Mutual
Office for 5000 which win nearly cover the
loss. sR
Between eight and nine O'Clock Saturday
evening the alarm was sounded for fire in the
eighth district 1t proved to be the new and
splendid mansion Of Capt. Henry Ininan,
US. A., at the corner of Pine and Promenade
Streets The fire was occasioned by the ex-
plosion of the patent gasometer in the cellar,
where the gas for the honse was manufactured.
The first notice the inmates had of it was She
sudden extinglishment of the lights in the
house. Capt. mman fastened to the cellar.
and discovered it filed with flames. He i'm
mediately removed the inmates, and gave the
alarm. The fremen were prompt to respond
to the call, and were quickly on the spot with
the steamers. But it was terrible work for
them to fight such a fire with hardly any
water. There was a large amount of coal and
wood in the cellar, which was all In a blaze,
and had there been plenty Of water the flames
would have been extinguished in fifteen min
utes. As it was, the firemen worked with
such indonitable energy as We have never be-
fore witnessed, and, after hard contest of
three hours, fighting the fire inch by inch, had
the satisfaction Of extinguishing the flames
the damage being mainly confined to the base
ment, and to- the flooring and ceiling of the
first story The loss VIII probably amount to
four or five thousand dollars, but is insured
for,$10,0O0 at the Lorillard Office ON the huila-,
ing, and $1,000 on the furniture in tbe come
and $1,000 on the furniture in the American
Office; total insurance on the building am, an.
niture is $4,000, in John E. Dow & Sons
Agency. $40 sssss sa.1 s.sssis y, \.
Capt. Inman was burned in his feet, havino
on slippers when he went into the cellar. The
valuable furniture of the house was safely re-
