THE FIRE SUNDAY NIGHT-The
alarm Of fire on Sunday night was caused
by the burning Of an uutenanted frame
house on Jones' avenue, near the Win
chester cemetery. 1t was discovered to
be on fire about nine o'clock, but the fire
was extinguished by the neighbors. At
eleven o'clock it was again discovered to
be on fire and burned to the ground.
Owing to the ~disgracefur state Of the
streets the engines could not reach the
scene. Some negroes who were elected
from the premises some days since are
suspected OF being the incendiaries. If
this state Of things continue we should
not be at all surprised if the insurance
agents increased the rates in this city.
THE RAILROAD CoNvESTIoN.-To c.
P. Oakley, the gentlemsnly general
ticket agent Of the Mississippi and Ten
nessee railroad, We are indebted for the
information that a portion Of the party
who will compose the convention Of
general ticket agents viii arrive in the
city this day. The convention will
meet at the GsyosO house on Wednes-
day, at IL am. The prospect is that
there will be a full representation from
all the principal lines both south and
north. As this is a matter of general
interest to our travelling and commercial
community, we purpose TO publish their
proceedings in our columns. A hop will
take place at the GayOsO on Thursday
night, which will probably be the affair
Of the season.
BENEFIT OF w. G. THOMPSON, ESQ.
As this evening is set aside for the benefit
Of this amiable gentleman, we trust the
theater will be croWded from Dit to dome.
