CRY AND COUNTY ITEMS.

WORTHY OF REAIEMBERING.-The ser-
mons preached ON Sunday last by Bishop
Quintar,l, are worthy Of Immortality. They
were eloquent. learned, pointed and truth
ml. Above all they were practical, suited
to the time and its evils, such rs do more
real good than sll the metaphysical doc
trinal sermons on earth.
AFTER HIM The darkies are after that
eolored brother who shot into the Baptist
charge Aaron Banks with the crime, and
are making things decidedly lively for him.
VERY FINE.-The ltOck OF staple and
shelf goods received this week at Brooks &
Hub bard's is unsurpassed in the city.
Housekecpers should 90 and examine them
before purchasing.
MORE FINE COKN.-Mr. j. W. Price, Of
this county, showed us on Saturday last
several ears OF corn, that measured 1lH
inches in circumference, and with I'M
usually large grains and small cob. 1t
was a fair sample OF field Of rs acres.
one Of our white citizens was grossly in
suited and cursed by colored man in
front OF Kings Palace on Wednesday
morning. The colored man had in his
mouth fine cigar and in his hand heavy
stick. When he recovered from the knock
down he staggered of minus cigar and
stick, but with large-sized iea in his ear.
Our fellow-citizen, JnO. A. Greer, we
learn has purchased the old frame house
and the ground it covers, now occupied by
J. c. Sharp, at the corner of Centre Alley,
and the Square, for g. 900, and will, as
soon as possible, demolish the old house,
and replace it with an elegant three story
brick business house, with iron front.
We saw officer McAlexander Juggling a
stalwart drunken gipsey 10 the lookup on
Wednesday. He was pretty drunk, and
had been trying TO fight another of his
tribe
THE FIRE TUESDAY AIORNING,-AbOut
midnight Tuesday the alarm Of fire was
sounded, and upon turning out we found
it 70 have originated IN an untenanted
frame stors ON Market street, In the rear OF
J. Greenbers's store. This house was
speedily consumed, and the flames rapidly
spread TO the Greenberg Corner and the
adjoining building, occupied As bakery
By l.. Levy. These buildings were speed
lily wrapped in flames, and. were soon
burned.
The Greenberg building was occupied by
J. Greenberg in the basement as drinking
saloon, and w. II. Powers g. Co., on the
ground moor as a family grocery and pro-
vision store, and the upper story as res
taurant and clearinghouse. Greenberg had
purchased the house from J. c. NJ. Garland,
but had not paid for it. He had an insur-
ance OF 1000 on the building. 1t was es-
timated to be worth $4,000. Powers Co.
and Greenberg had no insurance on stock.
Powers & Co. lost about 81 800. The house
occupied by L. Levy as bakery and gro
Gerry store and family residence, was owned
by j. G. NJ. Garland, ESQ, valued at $1,000,
and had no insurance ON it. Levy was in
sured upon his stock, most of which was
saved in a damaged condition, to the
amount of $500. We have been unable to
learn his loss.
J. n. Reayis, tin and stove house, next
door, was saved, but his stock being re-
moved, and some stolen and much broken,
his loss will not be less than thousand
dOllaas.
Dan Mckinley, drinking saloon, removed
his stock, and estimates his loss at about
500. He had no insurance.
Smith & Jarnagin, ON the corner Of La
fayette and Centre Alley, had 10 remove
their entire stock, much Of which was stO-
len and otherwise damaged. They were
fully insured, and estimate their loss at not
less than thousand dollars.
The loss by this fire, both direct and in
direct. will foot up at least 100000.
