The fire on sunday mornIng-De-
. StructiOn of n Frame Building.

About one o'clock on yesterday Sunday
morning, an alarm Of fire was sounded
from the North Engine House, The signal
was given Tor the First Fire district. The
fire proved to be In a frame building on the
west side Of Straight alley between Long
and Spring streets and between Third and
Fourth. The building belongedtO to Thomas
Green, and was lately occupied by "a color
ed family by the name Of Hodge, who had
moved out of it the day before, SO that the
house, atthe time of the fire, was unoccu-
pied. When the fire was discovered, it was
seen to burst forth from all sides of the
building at the same time.3 Itwas imme-
dliately communicated to the next building
on the north new frame dwelling, owned
by George w. Wasson, and tenanted by a
colored woman BY the name of Trent. oa
By the promptitude and exertionso Of the
Fire Department, the flames were soon sub
dued ON Mr.. Wasson's building, and con-
fined to the frame in which the fire origin
atedt The Fire Department, under its
chief, Col; Marrow, were indefatigable in
their exertions to confine the fire TO the
building which it was impossible to save,
and to prevent the further spread of the
deyouring element. These, exertions were
happily crowned with success. 51iici1as
1t was fortunate that there was no high
wind blowing AZ the time, otherwise, there
would probably have been quite q serious
eonfagration, as there Is quite number OF
frame buildings to the northand northwest
of the one that was burned. .3a5msjsla
We understand, that both Mr. Green's
and Mr.. Waason's buildings-were insured.
The loss TO the former we have not heard
estimated, but it cannot be very large, az
| The building was small, and had been erect
cd for, some time. The weatherb rboarding
and roof on the south side Of Mr.. Wasson's
building were considerably charred and
burned. His loss e probably 800 Or $50.
Ia The fire issupposed to have been cansed
by an incendiary. But what qmotive The
could have in setting fire toan old unoeeu-
pied frame building in that locality, II iS
difficult to imagine.

with Joy and delight, mol But the most of
us, With the sad story of an impoverished
country, devastated churches, vacant par,
ishes. scattered congregations, with pas
tor here and there looking after the lost
sheep Of his flock, struggling on With scarce
ly the pecessaries Of life, aud often lsboriDg
with bis own hands for the support of bm-
self and family. We know Of ba, few con-
gregations out of the City Of New. Orleans
who are doing anything toward supporting
in if pastors, and for the simple reason that
they have not the means. ,,' 4 ...a
