The FIRE LAST NIGHr.-Last night at
half past ten o'clock a fire broke out ON
Customhouse street, between Peters ana
Front streets. The fire originated ut No. Ia
Custo,nhouse street, facing Clay street, oc-
cupied by E. Adler & Co. as a rag and junk
warehouse.
For some reason unknown the fire had
made considerable progress before the
alarm was sounded, and by the time the
first engine arrived, the house No. IA was
beyond all hope of salvation. Steam fire
engine No. was the first to arrive at the
snot: but by this time the flames had
reached the adjoining house, No. II, occu-
pied by Joseph Raymond e. Co., also as
Junk store This building was soon beyond
hope of being saved. BY this tiIac, numerous
engines were on the ground, most of them
on Peters street, where the utmost exertIon
was necessary to save the adjoining build
ings The tiremen raised ladders III front OF
the burning buildings, and did all that skill
and daring could do to get the flames under,
many of them placing themselves IN posi-
tons of extreme danger Among others,
Tom O'Rann, of Perseverance No. IL, was
conspicuous on a ladder while the walls
were in imminent danger Of falling. AT
quarter before eleven o'clock the front OF
| and side walls of the building where the fire
| commenced {No. II Customhouse street,,
| fell with q heavy crash, fortunately inJurins
! no one.
The cooper shops belonging to Messrs
Kline and German were entirely destroyed
| and the eOmbustible material therein lent
| food to the fire These stores, Nos. II
and l6, fronting on Customhouse and
Crossman streets, were completely de
stroved. No l6 was only ruin, as it was
burned about 1860, and never rebuilt. Bu'
for extraordinary excrtions of the tiremer
| the flames would have gone across Cross
man street The loss is not very great.

Or SALT R1vER.-Not many hours after
tho Democratic Nominating Convention adj
jonrned from it's mountain Of labor and
gave birth to very poor mouse, score or
more of disappointed aspirants found them
selvea on board lake boat. They met by
chance, at the boats bar, where caucus
WIS held and notes compared, when it was
discovered that each was bound for old Salt
river. Drinks all round; delegates charac-
ters smothered in awful curses; successful
nominees ditto; then drinks duplicated, and
80 on. until the gentlemen were informed
rhat the Creole could not give through bills
Of lading to that haven OF rest, Salt river.
That disguised twenty-onc consulted, and
Immediately agreed that as they we're ON a
salty lake they would rest satisfied. Hav-
ing promised not to mention names, we will
not even pun on them, although that might
save the illustrious twenty-one from utter
oblivion.

FURIOUS DRIvlNG.-A Citizen Nearly
Killed Last Sunday evening Mr.. L.
Grunewald was driving along Washington
street shell road, having four children in
his carriage. He noticed two bnggies ap-
preaching him, the young men apparently
running race, when he turned his Vehicle
of to the right, almost into the gutter to
avoid a collision. When the first buggy
was near him Mr.. 'Grunewald warned the
driver to take care, but no attention was
paid to the warning. The buggy wheel
caught his carriage, threw Mr.. Grune-
swald to the ground, breaking trace and
badly frightening his horse. which started
OF at terrible speed, dragging the gentle
man on the road nearly two squares. Mr..
Grunewald was seriously injured, so badly
that he may never recover. The men who
we're racing were not arrested, although
o0e of the buggies was wrecked and left OIL
the street.

and gold and other speculatiOns will now
have to fall to their proper level" or

when It Is rcad side by side with official
declarations Of war and accounts Of the
movements Of armies SBuL afterall, our
Wheeling friend Is in n'ttlG same boat with
many 0thGf pebnlc, and we have found it
somewhat amusing TO note the "pcace

changes:
The safest rule for a man who would
play the prophet about doubtful things is

Some men can, It is true, see as far through

not shifting theipactiopsttet predictions
Of wise Observers. There Is o formula in
Scripture that it might be fulfilled as It

Is u very enyieble one In these times. If
one could only lave it arranged that
events would occur with a view 10 verify
Ing ones prophecies prediction would be
All agreeable pastlme. But perhaps ip that
case, we should an want TO turn prophets
In our own war there were also extra.

them PERHAPS the rii6st extraordinafy was

NINETY day" theories. However the mis-
takes made atAhat time, aud the pumeS
