energy. A battalion of cadets has been
organized, and supplied with muskets suited
to their age Military discipline is now an

uniformed, are in an excellent state of disci-
pline. They are armed and equipped, with
their own band, consisting of pupils. They
present very pleasing appearance. The

of the season and the difficulty of procuring
material will compel delay until the coming

The Republican Invincibles held large
meeting last evening at Concert Hall. Hon.
II. Stockett Matthews was the orator.
About o'clock last night fire broke out
in the upper story and roof of No. G3O
Spruce street. Before water could be put
upon it, the flames had gained considerable
headway and threatened the destruction of
the surrounding property. They were
finally got under control, and had been appa-
rently extinguished, when they suddenly
broke out from beneath the tin on the roof
of No. CPS, and for a short time they burned
fercely. They were finally extinguished by
the flood of water poured upon them, but
not until considerable loss had been entailed
upon the occupant and owner of the pro-
perty No. G2S, Mrs. A. p. Anderson. The
damage will not probably exceed $25O0, and
is fully covered by insurance.
