An alarm of fire was sounded about 2 o'clock
yesterday morning, which proved to be in a
nut and Locust streets The flames were first
seen curling out of a window of the loft. Some
time elapsed before the firemen arrived upon
the ground, during which the fiery element
had made great headway, completely envelop
ing the two stories OF the stable When the
doors were opened, a huge sheet OF hame-R
fiery sentinel-debarred any from entering to
the rescue of the property within. The struc-
ture was forty by ninety feet, two stories in
height, built OF the best OF brick, and fitted up
in the most convenient style. At the time of
the conflagration the building contained five
carriages, two cutters, and ten valuable horses,
all of which were destroyed by the flames,
although strenuous efforts were made TO rescue
them.

WE ARE GLAD to notice the rapidly increas-
ing prosperity of the Cotton Dental Associa-
tion. II is about a year and half since DR..
Cotton came TO Philadelphia and established an
office for eTrnctt'lg teeth 1UithoH pain, wi. n his
new anmsthetic agent-nitrous oxide gas.
day he has the names of five thousand
six hundred and forty-six persons to whom he
has administered the gas, and for whom he has
extracted teeth in Philadelphis; and no one of
all this vast number has found himself any the
worse for inhaling IL. The operator, DR.. Thomas
who has been with the Association more han
a year, is acknowledged, by the best judges, to
have no superior in the profession as an ex-
tractor, and many of the leading dentists of the
city entrust all their patients who desire to
take All an8sthetic, to his tender care.
Arrangements are also in progress for the ac-
commodation of those who desire any short
surgical operation performed under the infiu-
ence of the gas.
We are happy to learn also, that the Doctor
will be able, hereafter, to walt ON patients out
side the regular office hours. This an lounce-
ment will be especially attractive to persons
who find it difficult to call during business
hours.

VIOLATING THE SUNDAY ANTI LIQUOR Law
The matter of testing the consttutionality of
the law-which has enforced new order of
things upon the Sabbath-has become a mania
with some of our saloon keepers. who have
only been cured of the same by a prompt
application of arrests, fines. and balls. John
McAvoy, who keeps place on Orthodox street,
in Manayunk. sold strong drink to a drunkard
yesterday. He was arrested, and held in $500
bail by Alderman Holmes To answer at Court
John Mullen, having committed the same
act, by allowing the thirsty to pass the portals
of his liquor establishment on Richmond
street, in the Eighteenth Ward, was held also
in $500 bail by Alderman Senix.

FAREWELL SBRMoN.--The services in the
Church of the Nativity yesterday were of un-
usual interest, owing to the delivery OF his fare
we'll sermon by the Rector, the Rev. II. @, Mat
lack, who has just been granted q six months
leave of absence by his congregation, for a trip
to Europe. This church has recently celebrated
Its twenty-f1fth anniversary, and from the SER
mon of the pastor delivered ON that occasion,
we learn many items of interest concerning its
history. 1t was founded in 1912, and its first
Rector was the Rev. John Gregg. He was fol-
lowed successively by the Revs William q.
Cooley, N. Sayer Harris, +. s. Wiley, N. o. Pres
ton, and the present incumbent, the Rev. II.
G. Matlaok, who has had charge of the church
since 1859.
During it's earlier years it was subject TO
many embarrassments, but has finally over
come them all, and is now of the most
1ourishing and wellestablished churches in the
city. During the past year IL has paid OFF an
indebtedness OF long standing, so that IL Is now
free from all pecuniary embarrassments, while
been on scale of cOmmendable Iiberality.
Though located in section of the city crowded
with churches, some of whose pulpits have been
filled with very able ministers, such as Drs.
Adams, Kennard, Mcdowell, etc, 1t has main
tanned itself as growing church. has an admi-
rable Sabbath school, a large and increasing
communion list, and is thoroughly organized
due to the fHithfulness and zeal, combined with
business tact and administrative ability, of its
pre- sent worthy pastor Worn down by excess
sive labors his church and congregation, in
manner equally creditaole to themselves and to
him, have generously proffered him a six
months respite, and have supplied the pulpit

restored health and vigor to resume his labors.

"A TOUCHING SCENE.-At the church corner
Of Eighteenth and Arch streets, yesterday
morning, the pastor, Rev A. A, Willtts, ID. d.,
