FIRE YESTERDAY AFTRRNooN.-Whil
the wind was blowing a terrific gale from
the Northwest, yesterday afternoon, the
alarm Of fire was sounded, much to the
CONSERVATION of property holders all over
the city. The fire originated in stable be-
longing to Mr.. Berton, situated between
Fourth and Sycamore streets, and short
distance west of Perry. The flames were
soon communicated to the adjacent stables
of Mr.. Klickert, d. L. Smith and r. G. Cor
win, all of which were consumed in very
short time. At the rate the wind was blow
ing and the burning cinders flying, 1t IS al
most miracle that the flames were not
communicated to the adjacent dwelling I;
but the steamers were promptly on the
ground TO protect the buildings in the
neighborhood, and with their efforts, sec
onded by people with buckets OF water on
the roofs of houses, no further damage was
done than what is above stated
We are not advised as TO how the fire
| originated-perhaps no one knows. There
was a sort OF stable burning mania preva-
lent In the city some two or three years
ago, when alarms of fire from this source
were of almost daily occurrence. From
the occurrences of the past few days it
would seem that the same thing Is about TO
re-inaugurated. We hope not Still 1t
would not be amiss for the police to keep
an eye to the matter, and see whether these
things are chargeable TO accident or ineen-
diarism.

SINGULAR CLAIM OF SOLDIER. The
Paymaster's Department recently received
from an Ohio soldier demand for pay due
him from the Government, with the follow
ing explanation of the peculir state of af-
fairs surrounding him while he was in the
service:
ale enlisted when his company was be-
ing recruited, was refused by the examining
surgeon and mastering officer and re-
turned to his home. Some months afterward
he was arrested as deserter and forwarded
to his command in Kentucky. He remain
ed with the regiment for a time, but as his
name was not on the roll, he was not re-
ceived as a deserter. He again returned
home, and was again arrested as deserter
and sent to join his regiment in Chatta-
nooga. He participated in the Atlanta
campaign, but after the occupation, finding
that he was to receive no pay, he left the
regiment and again returned home. He
was arrested the third time and forwarded to
Nashville. Gen. Thomas had the case in
vestigated, issued special order releasing
him from duty, and furnished him with
transportation home. He says he wanted
to be soldier, and the Government would
not receive him. He then, as a citizen, did
a soldiers duty without receiving any pay.
This he now demands"

MAYORS CoURT.--Things have taken a
rather lively turn in the Mayors Court for
the last day or two.
Elmer ii. Brown was brought up yester-
day on a charge of being drunk and disor-
ly and insulting females. Plead guilty, and
was let off with S11 40, fine and costs, on
promise of future good behavior.
This morning, Fred. Siebold was assessed
$l1 80, fine and costs. for assault and bat
terry.
William Harris, for indulging in the com
mon luxury of being drunk and disorderly,
was held in $13, fine and costs.
A man from the ''rural districts" not
very familiar with city rules and customs,
found himself before the Mayor, rather un-
expectedly, for being drunk and noisy.
He very cheerfully paid the reasonable
amount of $40, in the shape of fine and
costs, and went his way rejoicing.
Steele and Keller, for being drunk and
disorderly, and committing an assault and
battery, in joint capacity, were required
to hand over So 35 each, in default of which
they were sent to jail.
A young man from the suburbs, becom-
| ing jubilant, got into little scrimmage.
1t being the first offence, the Mayor let him
off on payment of 81 20.
Decamp Shellabarger was brought up on
a charge of assault with intent to kill. He
was found guilty of assault and battery
only, and the Mayor discharged him on pay
ment of S22 20, with a wholesome repri-
mand, and an admonition to conduct him
self properly in future.
Several arrests were made yesterday, OF
suspicious characters, on charge of pocket
picking. They were to have hearing be-
fore the Mayor this afternoon.

In 1861 there were in the late Kingdom OF
Naples 3078 schools attended by Co. All chill
dren; in 1868 there we're 5665 schools, attended
by 14s, ,525 children. In Sicily there we're 57l

1868 there were ll77 schools, attended by 32, ,588
