A BAD LEAK.-A BUILDING DAMAGED
During the tremendous rain of yesterday
morning, the water accumulated in the
angle formed by the junction of Rocker d
Blounts magnificent Stove Store and Sales
Rooms, on Main Street, and with the foun-
dry in the rear, and passed in perfect
flood through an air CRATE into the cellar
beneath the sales room. The building is
some forty feet wide, and the centre beams,
which sustain the joists, were supported by
a series of iron columns under each story.
The water accumulated in the cellar around
the sink, and washed out the earth, letting
two of the pillars give way, and the first
and second floors sunk in the center near
the corner of the Office some six feet, being
pressed down where unsupported by some
forty tons of castings which CHANGED to be
piled in that portion of the building.
About thirty feet of the floors thus sunk,
MASKING the office and crushing the win
dows into millions of pieces. When the
men assembled in the morning. the interior
of the building in the vicinity of the office
presented a very wrecked appearance. 1t
was soon discovered, however, that the
balance of the floors were solid, and the
castings were quickly removed. When we
visited the scene yesterday afternoon, we
found John McCorkle, with large force,
busy al work repairing damages, ard had
one-halt the sunken portion Of the first floor
leveled up, and within a day or two more
will have thewhole matter set to rights
The damage will not be material. The en-
tire damage Will be the expense of repairs.
The water also worked its way through the
wall of the foundry by the side ola conduct
pipe, and washed the earthen floor of the
foundry into great burrows. This was re-
paired, however, before night.

THE RAIN.-Never since the days of
Noah-and then Evansville was very
small indeed-has this section of the NOR,
al heritage been visited by such a rain as
fell during Thursday night and yesterday
morning. About dark the rain, set in
in earnest, and increased in impetuosity
with very slight intermissIon, until, about
O'Clock, when it appeared as if the win
dows of heaven Were indeed opened, and
the fountains of the great deep broken up,
and for nearly three hours the rain came
down in torrents. The whole face of the
earth seemed as if covered, and the gut
tiers ran and raced like mountain streams.
No material damage was done, however,
except to Rocker & Blount's building, par
ticulars of which will be found elsewhere,
and the filling of a few cellars in various
parts of the city. We apprehend, how
ever, intelligence of serious damage in
other localities better calculated to suffer
by floods. The rain seems to have been
very general, coming from the northwest.

NEW METRoPoLITAN.-N Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather last night,
one of the largest and most refined and ele-
CANT audiences ever assembled in Mozart
Hall, greeted Miss Fanny B. Price, to well
come her back tohe many friends and adj
mirers in this city. l5a. rff 4
1t was no common compliment to see
such an audience on such an evening,
comprising, as it did, the elite and much OF
the intelligence of the city-an eminently
worthy testimonial to one oftlle most pure
and talented ladies on the American stage.
The leading parts of the plays were most
creditably rendered, Miss Fanny appear
ing to excellent advantage as Parthenia,
and on her first appearance was greet dwith
the widest applause.
Hanchetts % Ingomar was admirable.
Mrs. Grierson and .sO1d Uncle Bob = were
greeted with much warmth.
At the conclusion of,the first play Miss
Fanny and Mr.. ,Hanchett was called out,
and the fair young artistic complimented
with shower of bouquetsA Mr.. Fl. ten

RECORDERS CoURT.-Two of the parties
against whom warrants were issued on
Tuesday, were prosecuted before His Hon
or, the Recorder, yesterday, to-wit: VIM.
Hahn and Charles Misner, charged with
having committed an assault and battery
upon the person of Joseph Hoffman. The
Recorder, after being fully advised in the
premises, considered Identification of the
ordinance worth S5.65, each, in shape of
fine and costs, and entered that amount
accordingly. Another man, assaulted by
these same parties, accepted $500 in IL
auidation of all damages. John SheareT,
implicated with Hahn and Misner, in the
assault and battery, made himself scarce
and cheated the school fund out of $500,
and the officers of their fees.
Seth Pritchet, for shooting at quail up
a tree within the city limits, paid s4S5, pro-
testing, however, that others, were shoot
ing round all the time, and he only shot
up tree, at quail. Rather am expensive
quail we should say. Z q ksflf.lt

FIRE.-Yesterday morning just after we
had closed our days labor and had laid us
down to sleep, and just as we were woOing
the dream god to touch our eye-lids with
his mystic wand, we were aroused by the
startling clang of the fire bells ringing an
alarm. AS we arose the reflection of the
flames lighted up our room, and on look
ing from the window, the black. thick
clouds to the North were all aglow with the
fierce blaze that was eating up and con-
Stunning small frame on Sixth street, IN
Sharpe's Enlargement. The engines were
out quickly and started in the direction of
the fire. We followed as far as the corner
of Sixth and Main street, when finding we
had not reached, half way to the fire, we
turned about and returned to rest. In the
morning we learned the locality of the fire
and other particulars The building was a
small frame. the property of Patrick Gar
by, and occupied by man named Sulli-
van. The building and contents were to-
tally destroyed. Therewas a policy OF In
surance on the stock, III the Home of
New York, for 5000, and one in the Indi-
ana Central y at Lafayette for $500. We.
did not learn the estimated loss. There
was, we believe, no Insurance on the build
ing. The fire was the work of an incen-
diary. .....l-,.e- si,,ti.4e...s. u.

Justices Court.

a. BEFORE JUSTICE STINSoN.--The wet
weather seems to be provocative of fights
as well as fires, and all the business-with
slight exceptions-that transpired in the
various Temples of Justice yesterday, were
the results of the belligerent disposition
engendered by the atmosphere. Nor was
this bellicose temper confined to the mascu-
line gender or to the Caucasian race.t Two
Africans, of the female persuasion, must
needs assume their prerogative under the
infamous Civil Rights Bill" and try
bout in limitation of the devotees of the
prize ring. Susy Craig and Charlotte
White had a controversy regarding scrap
of postal currency, in which each claimed
a proprietary interest. After war OF
words, not the most elegant and refined
Charlotte pitched in and assaulted and
battered Susy. The controversy was adj
journed to the Office of Justice Stinson, and
g Bin" figured up bill OF costs am CUNT
ing to "a p, and to save the necessity of
making change, added rs cents for the BEN
eft of the SchoolFund. A''' ''-- e'-''s4
BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER. The belliger-
ent propensities of the denizens of Perry
Township again cropped out yesterday, in
the persons of Chris. Wagner, Henry
Whitesei, and Fred. Grossman. Whitesel
and Grossman were driving their teams
along the road to town, and Grossman,
who was in the rear, made an effort a time
or two to pass to the front. At length
Whitesel waxed wroth, and desiring to in
culcate and enforce the Scripturaf doc
trine, ago slow" Ieaped from his wagon,
and with the but of his whip gave Gross
man a moral lesson. Wagner, it appears,
stood by and eheered on Whitesel in his
missionary work with the classical advice
to give him the fake that burneth with
fire and birthstone" The parties appeared
before Squire Walker, and s11.4O in the
shape of fine and costs excused him for
his vehement manner of enforcing great
moral truths. AS Wagner had not at
tempted, by physical force, to enforce his
impossible advice, the Squire dismissed
him with gentle admonition.

DIDN'T STAY TO HEAR IT.--Esquire Walk
er issued warrant yesterday against an
ex-constable to enforce the paying over o.
a certain sum of money which said ex-
official is charged with having collected
on an execution for sable son of Africa,
and which it is charged he attempted to
appropriate to his OWE aggrandizement,
by making false return of :" no property
found" Sam. Day went to serve the war
rant, but as soon as he had cleverly COM
menced reading, the intractable young
gentleman took TO his heels; but as he ran,
Sam. shook the warrant after him and
named the day, and returned the warrant
endorsed, SERVED by reading as he ran"
The case will probably be considered to-
day.

For Crushing and depressing the
Juice from Apples. Grapes, and
other Fruit, at one and the same
operation. Ba u.-if
FEJHE SUBSCRIBER HAS INVENT.
~ ed and patented Machine for crush
ing. and expressing the. juice. from Apples
and other fruit at a single operation, there
by dispensing with screws, levers, presses,
and other cumbersome machinery, and
saving all the time and labor necessary to
separate the juices from the fruit by the
old process. This important result is at
tanned bysa novel arrangements of crushing
and pressing cylinders together. in one
frame. entirely unlike any Machine ever
heretofore constructed for such a purpose,
and which must eventually supeTSede and
do away with all known processes for ex-
tracing Juices from fruit.
The subscriber claims, and is ready to
demonstrate, that the following adVan-
tageS are gained over all other Machines {:
1st. With the same amount of power,
three times The y,tdntitv Of Cider or Vine can
be made in a day than can be made by any
other Machine. f =
I'd. That from 25 to 40 per cent. more Cider
or Wine can be extracted from the same
amount of fruit. tf 81 ~ -rt..- i-r
3D.. That it is more compact and simple
in its operation, stronger and less liable to
get out of order; is adapted to hand or
other powers is portable, and can be
transported readily from place to place
can be driven by any kind of power, and
can be attached TO any machinery.
4th. 1t is cheaper in proportion TO its
capacity. s
5th. 1t is stronger, being constructed en-
tirey of iron. ..--.-. b.
9Th. In being adapted for expressing
juices from all kinds of fruit, including
Apptes, Grapes. Rtubdro, or Vine Plant,
Cu7Tdnts, and Berries Of all kinds.
9TH. That it is superior to any Root Gutter
known for the purpose of crushing roots of
all kinds, for feeding stock, quicker, easier,
and better than any other Machine.
Sth. That it expresses the juice from APP
pies or other fruit the moment they are
crushed, wherein lies the great secret OF
making good Cider or Wine.
9th. That it does not grind or break the
seed of any kind of fruit; thereby doing
away with great objection which Is
urged against all otherMachinss.
