LOCAL MATTERS.

FIRE.-The alarm of fire at quarter
past O'Clock yesterday morning was occa-
stoned by the burning Of frame tenement
at the corner of Fourth and Louisiana
streets, Port Mayo, and the partial burning
of the one adjoining. The building burned
was owned by Mr.. Dennis O'Day, and oc-
cupied by him as grocery and residence,
and the other owned and occupied by Mr..
John O'Connor. Mr.. O'Day had $1,000
insurance on his house and stock in the
London and Liverpool and Globe Insurance
Company. Mr.. O'Connor was insured for
$500 in the Virginia State Insurance Com
pany. The fire was evidently the work of
an incendiary. There being no water near,
the engines had to be dispensed with, and
the firemen had recourse to the buckets of
the hook and ladder truck.

VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-A citizen OF
Petersburg has made discovery by which
the motive power of steam can DC IN
creased almost without limit, and at an
expense of about oue-twellth what IS now
required. The power is applied directly
to the large wheels of an engine-a secret
that has been vainly sought after for
many years past. There are other ad-
yantages besides the saving of so great an
expense in fuel appertaining to this dis
covery. and they may be mentioned as
being saving of friction, of machinery,

in the mean time we shall say no more
on the subject.-Petersba1y Inder.
