A FEW days since, says the Chattanooga
Gazette, an ancient gentleman of color
came into an office of the Freedman's
Bureau not n thousand miles from Chatta-
nooga, and inquired if that was the place
where they kept the Freedmen's Bureaus.
The polite clerk was momentarily nom
plussed, but instantly recovering his won
ted gravity, blandly replied in the afhrma-
tive. Dinah, with an air of mystery, and
speaking in a confidential whisper said :
II have a wash-stand ut home, but it is
too small 70 put my fxin's in"

FIsHY.-It is stated by the fishermen
at San Francisco, that after the earth
quake no fish would bite for a considera-
bic length of time. An exchange remarks
that they probably lost their appetites, a.
many men did. If the fish got such
thumps as was delivered upon the bot
toms of the vessels in the harbor and near
the Golden Gate, it is no wonder they
lost their appetites and wouldn't bite.

About half-past eight O'Clock yesterday
morning fire was discovered in the roof OF the
engine house OF the Boston Depot at the foot
ofState Street. 1t originated over the smoke
jack of the engine which had just left the
building to take the Boston train, and must
have caught from sparks from the engine.
The locomotives and tenders in the house
were quickly removed. One of the engines
was new one, which cost $4,000, and had
been taken into the building to make some
slight alteration. The wheels were off, but
they were quickly placed Oh, and a rope at
tached to 1t, which two hundred men got hold
Of, and pulled the machine right through the
brick wall Of the building, saving it with
very slight damage. W =. ib5M1.
At first it was thought the fire could be
stopped without giving a general alarm, and
the employees OF the road battled it manfully (;
but 1t spread SO quickly to the head house
of the passenger station that the alarm was
sounded. The cars were removed from the
station, and nearly all the papers in the office
were saved, but the head house was destroyed.
BY active exertions the long shed was saved
with but slight injury. aaifss q F"
Mr.. Wheeler, who kept refreshment rooms
in the building, lost about 5000 worth of stock.
He had no insurance. In his endeavor to save
property, he came very near being victim.
He was up stairs, and was cut off by the fire,
and had to make run through the flames, es-
Gaping with scorched hair and whiskers.
John Russell, Esq, and Mr. Payson Tucker
were also up stairs endeavoring to save prop
erty, when they found themselves surrounded.
Mr.. Russell was almost sufiocated in getting
down stairs, and Mr.. Tucker descended by the
spout.
The buildings and stock OF the company
were fully insured at the Liverpool and Lon
don office, at the Agency Of George W. Cor
don, Esq, of Boston. So there will be no loss
to the Company. ao
Now that this building is out of the way, a
matter which occasions no grief at all, either
to the stockholders or the community, Is
to be hoped that measures will be taken to
build depot further up Canal Street,-above
the bridge,--so that the crossing OF the bridge
shall not be SO frequently interrupted by the
making up Of trains. The matter has been
talked Of before by the Directors of the rail-
road, and now is the right time for them to do
it. The necessity for this is obvious to every
one. The people Of Cape Elizabeth, and visi-
tors to the Cape, have complained, and not
without cause, of the detention Of carriages
and teams in crossing the bridge, by making
up trains at the depot. This can be avoided
by carrying the passenger depot up to the vi
cinity of the Kennebec depot, and it will bet
ter accommodate the travelling public. We
hope the Directors win take the matter in
hand at once, and make wise and popular
decision.
