Nc Flrs of Iesterday.

Our remarks yesterday morning on the
safety of places Of public assembly found
decided Illustration and confirmation in an
event which happened while the paper
eontaining them was passing through the
press. The Ere in Atheneum Hall yester-
day morning furnishes lesson which our
city authorities would do we'll &c study.
To be sure, there were no lives lost at that
fire, but had it broken out st time when
the hall was crowded with an audience, no
one esn say what terrible disaster to life
and limb might not have ensusd. Ali who
have ever visited thst hall, during the
score Of years that it has been used as
place of public gatherings, can imagine the
fesrfol scene that would result if 3
manic stricken audience should make q
frightened rush for egress down the long,
narrow and crooked staircase which leads
from the hsll to the street, two stories be-
low. And it is 8 lamentabls fact that ali
or nearly all our places of public amuse-
ment are liable, though perhaps not equal
ly 20, 10 the charge OF being unsafe in case
of fire. This evil must be remedied, and
the only adequate remedy is legislation on
the part of the proper authorities.
It is most fortunate that this fire did not
break out while an audience was present
in The hail, but this fact does not diminish
the force of the lesson which it ought to
teach. And, in view of the unsafe nsture
of the hall in this respect and the chsrsc-
ter of the performances there givtni we
shall view this cOnhsgrstion as, in more
senses than one, sprOvideutial dispensAtion,
if it results in awsking our people to the
necessity of providing adequate means Of
egress from all places ofpublic assembly.

tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully treated except after
q personal examination. His practice has
been so successful that ne has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his services, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quests of many citizens, he hiss consented,
before returning TO Europe, to visit several
centrsl points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters, SO that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years DR.. Lighthill

until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. E.B. Lighthill, and, to-
gether, they have acquired standing

A terrible affair occurred at concert at
Pittsburgh few evenings since. A large
audience of the beauty and fashion had as
setnbled. The performance was splendid.
Between the pieces the ladies chstted gay
ly and gleefully, and everybody was evi-
IDENTIFY highly delighted. Mrs. Spsulding's
solo on the harp was the next thing on the
programme. 1t was to be the gem Of the
evening, and the futter and hum Of the
audience settled down into profound still
ness. Everybody was silent anxious, and
expectant of the rich treat coming. Just
at this moment a fancifully dressed young
gentleman broke forth in the most frantic
yellS. He shrieked, screamed, yelled,
stamped, jumped over benches, rsVed,
roared and sWore. He conducted himself
as though he was suddenly possessed Of
seventeen devils. The. audience was
completely panic stricken. Ladies scream
ed, some tainted, and rush was made for
the door. The frightened singer fed fIom
the stage in dismsy, leaving her harp un-
touched. Everything was in uprosr, every
body wild with excitement, everybody hal
looing at the top of his voice for friends
separated in the crowd, and everybody in
quiring what was the matter. The shrek.
ing, yelling, and screaming went on louder
and more heart.rending for every jump of
the distracted, frantic, well-dressed young
man. AS soon as he could be caught, it ap-
peared that his terror was occssioned by q
large rat, which had slyly got out Of its
hole in the psrquet, and taken refuge up a
leg of the poor young mans trowsers. He
hadn't on any drawers.
The harp solo was omitted in conse-
quence, as the manager politely explained,
of sudden indisposition OF the fair harpist.
The audience was satisfied with the solo
they had heard.

On the 2sth of February last, at the eclosC
Of the carnival, there was to nave been q
performance at the theater in Port aU
Prince, but, in lighting the lamps, through
some esTelessness, the scenery caught fire
The building was soon destroyed, and the
flames spread from house to house until four
hundred houses were destroyed, involving
loss Of forty to fifty millions Of Hsytien
dollars and depriving hundreds of per-
sons of their homes. The fire, though
lasting only six hours, destroyed the most
active business part of the city. There
were but few fire engines, and such a
scarcity of axes that hardly anything
could be done to arrest the progress of the
asmes. The CONSERVATION Of the people
wss great for several day after the fire.
The city was pstroled by guards. The
government is taking measures to assist the
sufferers and general subscription has
Osen opened for their benefit.

Great Union Cavalry MOFemenC-The
Expedition from EasfpOrt, OsH the
Tennessee, ttaFted on the goth.
From the Evansville Gnd.) Journal of Thursday
From gentleman who arrived yeste1-
day morning from Esstport, Miss we learn
that the great cavalry expedition, cf which
We have heard so much during the past
several weeks, commenced its march for
the heart of Dixie on Monday last, under
command of General Wilson. The COM
mand is a very large one, and is composed
of the very flower of the Army of the
Cumberland, all armed with the most
destructive repeating rifles, and supported
by some of the finest batteries in the SER
vice.
Being all mounted and finely equipped.
and relying upon the country for supplies,
they will move with great CELEBRITY and
with irresistible force, and we may expect
TO hear the most happy results from the ex-
pedition.
One division Of the army remains at
Eastport, sufficient to keep the country free
from guerrilla raids, or any small force
which may be prowliDg in Northern Ala
bsma, Mississippi or West Tennessee.
1ndiana is largely represented in this
grand expedition, including Wilder's eele-
brated brigade, the 4th, 9th, 10th, 7Sd, and
numerous other regiments, and our people
will feel the highest interest in the move
ments Of the expedition.

The person called .Maximillan, 'Em-
peror Of Mexico" is in trouble. Napoleon
has plseed him on the imperial bed, but
the literary French Emperor cannot make
it a bed of roses. 1t seems that the Austrian
duke has been compelled to carry out vir-
tually the same policy as the republican
Jusrez, and although the cresture and Gre
alton Of the Church party, he has already
declared against their policy. The result
is that his Holiness has written Mszimflian
an sdmOnitory letter, and there is very
pretty quarrel as it stands.

hmerico-Mexican Volunteers,


Some time since dispatch was sent over
the country announcing that many of the
Federal soldiers who had been mustered
cut of service had proceeded TO Mexico,
and enlisted in the army Of the republi-
cans. Later advices confirm this report,
and indicate that not few of our gallant
soldiers have undertaken to join the cru
sade in favor of the doctrine Of Monroe.
Nor are we surprised. An article in the
Richmond Examiner, some time ago, an
nounced "that soldiers would affiliate and
an invasion of Mexico TO rescue her from
French Imperialism might probably fol-
low the termination of our war; The
deep-sessed ll-feeliug which France has
herself produced by her treschery, has
caused q desire to repay her to become
q national sentiment; and that de-
sire will, as soOn as occasion offers, be put
into practice. If before our strife is ter
minated so many of our soldiers have
hsstened to take ap the cause Of repub ioan
Mexico, what will be the force which will
follow when peace is once more restored ?
We cannot wonder at the defest which is
following the army of Msximilian, when
be is confronted by, a force fresh from the
successful conflicts of our own land. Some
of the energy and daring bravery which
has SO characterized the behavior Of OR
Northern forces viii be trarsplanted into
Mexico; and the wsveriny indecisiOn
which has so far caused defeat TO follow
the native troops will be succeeded by
intellect combined with courage, which

Hardly have The rebels recovered from
the ague-ft Of terror into which they were
thrown by Sheridsn's cavalry, before they
are startled again by another raid, in an
other quarter, under a General only less
distinguished than Sheridan for his cavalry
exploits. General Stoneman's expedition,
which left Knoxville only few days
since, has already made good progress into
the heart of the Confederacy, having de-
stroyed hundred miles of railroad. They
will soon be heard from in s way very un-
pleasant to Mr.. Jefferson Davis.

Sherma0's Fame in FrRnee.---The
(" Wild Despair of South Carolina.

Sherma0's Fame in FrOnee.---The
+" Wild Despair of South Carolina.
from the Opinione National, (Priuce Nspolson'S
orgsn) March l0.l
The wild despair which induced the
Osrolinians to set fire to their metro poliF,
will not win for them the sympathies OF
the civilized portion of the world, for they
have never been any thing but mere rebels
against Just Government. Their cause
has never been that of liberty, their watch
word is slaves and slavery" The line OF
conduct adopted by Sherman is well cal
culsted to force the South to return to the
path of duty. The General has bafled the
plans of hi. enemy by the skill of his tao
tics and the energy of his movements,
while, by his moderation and justice, he
has aroused in the insurgeht population a
love of the old Federal flag. The progress
of the ibersting army toward the North
will decide the fate of the rebel capital.
Richmond will be the last retreat of Mr..
Jefferson Davis, and the last rampant be-
hind which rebel slavery viii find shelter.
