Fire.-Odf Town was stirred up about

cry of Fire, Running with the crowd we
soon discovered that the Shop and residence
of our distinguished Tonsorial Professor,
John H. Lee. esq, was threatened prey
to the dcvouring element. Every body,
however, went to work with a will, and the
building was saved with but little damage.
We regret to learn, however, that the Profes-

furniture and clothing is quite considerable
The Steamer was on hand, after while, but
it was evident that the laddies were little

with, if there had been. But all will be
right next time The lesson has been

does or says something to bring his name
into general notice Since his address to the
mechanics of Tennessee at their fair, last
autumn, Mr.. johnson has been quiet. Now
he comes before the world with the announce

Is not of this unfortunate class, but the great
War Secretary, Stanton, had middle name,

him, while the men whom he dcrided most,
Charles Sumner, and Thaddeus Stevens,
were, ike himself, fortunate in having no
middle name to mar their Importance Yet
Mr.. johnson, despite his experience, was
anxious for more designations, and, as his
parents had not been generous to him in this
respect, he helped himself to the additional
cognomcn of Moses But consistency was
never one of Andrew Johnson's shining
qualifications.

In charging the Grand Jury of the

Judge Peirce gave special instructions as
to their actions in cases of the violation
of the license laws, and the law respect
ing advertisements of Illicit medicines
In regard to the former, the Grand Jury
for the preceding term had stated that
seven eishts Of the eases of assault and
battery brought before them had their
origin in the free use OF intoxicating
liquors. The law of the State, as explain.
cd by Judge Peirce, expressly prohibits
the sale of liquor, except by licensed deal
ers; forbids the sale of Intoxicating
drinks by any one to persons Of known
intempeate habits, minors or insane per-

malt liquors, wine or cider, to be drunk

ful for the Courts to revoke the licenses
of any dealers who shall violate these
provisions; and places other safeguards
around this dangerous and destructive
source Of crime. The Judge directed the
Grand Jury to procure, as far as possible,
the enforcement Of these restrictions In
regard to indecent advertisements, the
Judge had seen them in many city pa

were the men who drank not at all''-
However. Mr.. Wilson thought that there
were fewer drinking men in Congress
now than when he first went to it. For
merly the night sessions were dreaded, on
account of the debauchery to which they
gave rise. Now, about one quarter of
the Senators are pledged temperance men,

facts are about the same in the House of

The mortality from small pox in Phila
delphia shows no abatement, the numbe,
of deaths last week having been 230. 1t
is now quite prevalent in the Nineteenth
ward, near the Berks street and Kensinc.
ton stations. The fear of the disease that
prevailed some weeks ago has now almost
disappeared, and people 90 and come as
though nothing was the matter. All the
recent cases have been among persons
who have refused or neglected to be
vaccinated, and those who are incorporate
or addicted to gross habits of living.
When the latter are attack ed they scarcely
ever recover, their blood having become
weakened and corrupt The efficacy of
vaccination as preventive of small pox
has now been fully established, as cases
where the disease has been incurred after
this process are exceedingly rare.

FRIEND SCUOCH Within the memory
of the 'oldest inhabitant, such weather as
we have thus far been blest with this winter,
has not been experienced. For the past
fortnight it has appeared much more like a
mild summer thunder showers and all
than it has like stern winter. io-day, how
ever, the mercury has taken a sudden slide, y
and it is now extremely cold. Not one day
of sleghing has been enjoyed thus far this
winter
Some weeks since, we apprised your rea-
ders of the Sunday Concerts" being given
at Zeidlcr's Germania Garden, and of the
immense crowds who gathered there upon

an immense quantity of lager Things pro-

themselves hugely. "a change came over

individual put in an appearance. Kisses
and shouts greeted his ears from every part
of the room, and finally, he was struck by
one of the party; blow followed blow, and
the man was very rougly handled lie was
rescued from the hands of the mob lso-cal-

was the means of putting veto upon Sun
day beer selling at this place for the present,
at least. And while we do not approve of
Sunday liquor selling still, we submit would
it not have teen more prudent in him-knowing
the feelings of aminosity existing between
him and the saloon keepers-to have called
upon the officers of the law to accomplish
the object hc had in view? Certainly, his
motives were good, but, we think, he.pursu-
