/
Of the female orphans under the charge Of "The
Sisters" We have so often already spoken of this
panorama of Mr.. MoEvoY's, blending the scenic,
musical and dramatic, in happy combination, that
VIC deem it unnecessary to enter into further par
ticulars respecting it's merits at this late day.
Miss DALTON earned hearty plaudits on Saturday
night, by her spirited rendering Of the great Fe-
MAN song "The Wearing of the Green" Her
acting was very good all through the evening.
BARNEY is inmitable, though we must say the
ghost business is decided failure and In our opin-
ION, at least, the "Widow Machree," beats all the
| ghosts that ever we're brought on the stage.
However, the ghost, We believe, is not to appear
tonight but we are to have an exhibition OF the
entire canvass, and see all the natural beauties OF
the Seem Of the Sea-"
FREs.-At 10 o'clock last night the alarm bells
struck Ward No. 4. and the fremen, with their
| accustomed promptitude, were soon at the spot.
Smoke was discovered issuing from the premises
No. SO4 King street, occupied by MIR. 81. CLARKE, as
| fancy dry goods store, but the streams OF water
sent into the building soon subdued the flames.
At the first alarm Sergeant PoULNoT, OF the police
force, who lived near, was notified, and, visiting
the premises, he found pannel broken from the
back door and barrel Of shavngs placed
under the stairwav. These were on fire
and the whole building full OF smoke.
There was no furniture in the outbuildng and IN
but one room Of the house, which was occupied by
taree persons as bed room. The stock was In
sured in the agencies Of HERIor Co. and LEE q
Co.. and the store, which was the property Of A.
Won CLAIM. was also insured, but we were unable
| to obtain the amounts Little damage was done by
the fire, but the water completely flooded the store
The fire was evidently the work Of an incendiary,
but no person was known to be on the premises at
| the time.
At the fire Of Friday morning MIR. d. CoalER-
FORD was not insured and his loss in stock will be
| about $780, The house WAS the property OF u.

soon recommence the wheelwright business on
mora extended scale.
