exceedingly delightful and pleasant
affair. The attendance was very large,

accomplished lady with princely mu-
nifcence. Each one present seemed
to be especially anxious to be pleas
ant, and to contribute a mite to the
social enjoyment. Strangers were re-

one of the pleasing characteristics of
the Episcopal mites"

RAILROAD EXTENSION. 1t is a
matter of interest to our people to
learn that the prospect for the extern
sion of the Z. & c. r. r. is brighten
ing. Capt. G. G. Genung, engineer
for the company, who has just return
ed from making survey, furnishes
the information that on Friday last the
Commissioners of Parke County voted
an appropriation of $4,000 per mile
north to the county line of that coun-
ty. This would give from 100000 to
$4,000, according to the route cho-
sen. This is not a subscription, but
bona tide gift, and muniicent gift
it must be considered. 1t IS under
stood that the company propose to
move at once in this matter, and it is
hoped that Evansville will soon be
situated on a through line 10 the gulf
from the Lakes. Success to the en-
terprise.

FIRE.-About 10 o'clock last night
a fire was discovered In a stable in
the alley east Of Clark Street, and ex-
tending from John to Third Street.
By the time the alarm was fairly
given, the fire had communicated with
the stable attached to the Smith Gavit
estate, and soon spread up the alley
towards Third Street, involving two
or three other stables, all of which
were totally destroyed. 1t also spread
west to the old Gavit mansion, which
was quickly enveloped in flames, and
also eastwardly to two story frame
building, belonging to Josephus
Wood, fronting on John Street, which
was badly damaged in the roof and
rear.
The Gavit mansion was still burn
ing when we left the scene, and as the
engines were out of water, we take it
for granted that it was entirely de-
stroyed, and it would be difficult to
prevent the FIRE from extending to the
wooden buildings adjoining on each
side. The property, we were told last
night, was wholly uninsured. The
furniture from both the buildings that
were on fire, and from several others
adjacent, was removed, with the care
which usually attends such affairs.
The fire was doubtless the work of
an incendiary, or. at least, we heard
of no other cause for its origin. AT
the late hour of its occurrence and
amid the confusion that prevailed. we
could not ascertain at what the loss
was estimated.

ST.. JOINS CHURCH FAIR.-The
most elaborate preparations were
made by the ladies of st. Johns

school. Turner Hall Was decorated
most gorgeously with flags, banners,
notices, pictures, eyergreens, &C.,
&C.. and seemed a very fairy palace.

diminutive pin cushions to the most

of every variety, and a thousand and

ornamental, were offered for sale. the
whole affair rejecting the highest
credit on the good taste and energy
of the excellent ladies under whose
auspices the Fair is being held. The
attendance was very large, and the
opening would have proved a mag
nifcent success in every respect. had
not the fire, which broke out at 10
o'clock, interrupted the proceedings
for some time
The Evansville Cornet Band,
which had paraded the streets during
the day in the interests of the Fair,

admirable music. The refreshments
were abundant and of the choicest
quality, and the ladies' were exceed.
