= FIRE.-About half past 10 o'clock last night
fire was discovered in closet in the one and
half stored wooden dwelling house No. At
Sumner street, owned by widow Haskell, and
occupied, until yesterday, by her. The neigh
bors who discovered the fire contrived to keep
it under until the arrival of steam fire engine
when such delugeo of water was poured into
the building as to quickly quench the flames.
The damage done will not exceed 800. rs 40
The building was insured at the agency of J.
Il. Webster, Esq, in the Bay State Office, Wor-
cester, for $500. 1t is the general impression
of those who discovered the fire, and those
who reside in that vicinity, that the fire was
set in the closet. But for the timely discovery
OF it. there would have been severe. confla-,
grafton among the wooden buildings closely
nested together in that place.

The Trial Of Serratt.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The prosecu-
ton announced the case closed as they
have been unable to find Mr.. Dull, who
desired to testify relative to the cipher
letter. They closed without prejudice
to the right to submit o motion hereaf-
ter for the admission of DulPs testi-
mony.
After a protracted discussion it was
agreed that Mr.. Rhodes be recalled; also
Ann Jackson, to whom the prosecution
also put some questions.
Mr.. Bradley moved to strike cut all
evidence relative to Jacob Thomas, as
he has not been connected with the
case.
Judge Fisher said to let the defence
20 on and examine the witnesses, and
all the points will come up for argu-
ment hereafter.
Mr.. Bradley submitted objections to
other portions of the testimony.
The Court ruled that it was not the
proper time to make objections.
Mr.. Pierpoint said all the evidence
would be connected before the trial las
over.
EJudge Fisher said that an application
tC put in additional testimony could be
made at any time before the case was
given to the jury.
The defence accepted the ruling OF
the Court.
Mr.. Bradley then opened the case for
the defence.

perhaps. 1t appeared to be volley In
attack and q scattering reply, resulting
in the death of Coly, who was shot
through the heart and the wounding OF
eight whites and eighteen blacks; three
of the latter mortally. The Conserva-
.tives and black Radicals were much
exasperated and threatened to renew
the fight, but DR.. Cliffe interposed and
prevailed upon them to, desist. An
official investigation may be necessary
to fix the responsibility of this murder,
GUS affair. On the one hand 1t is charged
that the colored leaguers were armed
a fight; on the other that theI had been
previously and repeatedly assaulted, arm,
ed in self-defeuce, and the attack evlnced
a preparation aud design. 1t was aPpre-
hended that the difficulty would be re-
newed to-day, but all is quiet. A
company of the United States regu-
lars left this place for Franklin
this afternoon to maintain quiet. Inc
affair is deplored here by all parties.
On Saturday afternoon one of COM
pany of military stationed at Tullaho-
ma, was shot and killed by Dewitt Ben
nett, Captain in the late Rebel army,
Inspector General Hunt has taken steps
to preserve the peace there, and to have
the murder investigated.
