heard = gentleman who boards at one Of

twenty dollars, referred to in our Extra as
having been consumed In the great fire, has

Kendrick, is rs happy as happy can be over
the unexpected event.
A SEVERE TEsT.-The late fire severely
tested the quality of AN iron safe, the prop
erty OF Mr.. j. Frisdlob. It was in the
midst Of the hottest Of the burning build
ings, but when opened on Monday its con-
tents were found to be perfectly preserved.
Il is one of Aosley & Bernheim's safes,

who are looking around for some pleasant
retreat in the country, where comfort, |
economy and pleasure are equally blended, |

forts.

Migration on Sunday, Mr.. TEeadwell called |
= lot of darkies, who had been guarding !
his roof, into his wholesale grocery eStab |
lishment. and invited them to have some
thing to drink. After all but one had been /
helped TO whiskey straight, that one, who
seemed TO be rather modest, was asked 1
what he would haveS He replied with a
"smirk" and . bow-''A Solar cocktail,
sar, II you please"
FMTHY.-The Cistern on Lafayette and
Market Streets, It is said, lie in very filthy |
condition. When opened on the morning
Of the Ore the stencil was almost intOler-
able. II has always occurred TO US Ms
strange idea, to Mi the City Cisterns with
the wsshiugs Of the streets; and now il /
will cost heavily to clean them out.
SHOOTING AND sTABBNG.-On Sunday |
night last q party OF negroes on the farm Of |
