This lady proceeded to naJ her respects princi-

FIRE.-The new residence of Col. r.
Richardson, corner of Oak and Catalpa
streets, was destroyed by fire, at the
early hour of eight o'clock, Sunday
night. The building was unoccupied,
but contained some furniture, and also
Il lot of paint brushes and material be-
longing to Mr.. ID. i. Frost. Probable
loss about $4,000.
The fire was undoubtedly the work
Of inccndiarics. Mr.. VIM. Garrctson
saw three negroes hurricdly quitting
the premises at the moment the fire
had fairly begun, which, he states, was
set in two places, some twenty-five feet
apart. Other persons saw the same ne
grOes, and Il faint hope is entertained
that they may be identified. 1t has
not been very long since we heard of
threats of destroying the property of
men politically obnoxious to certain in
diviuuals, and we saw some OF their
tools s,,iIiug at the consuming scene on
Sunday night. Are we realizing these
threats?
