HOUSE BURNED.-An alarm of fire OH Tues
day evening created considerable excitement on
the streets. The fire proved, however, to be
some distance beyond the corporation. and
near the Federal Cemetery, on the Wayncs-
boro', road. 1t was the house recently pur-
chased by Mr.. NJ. B. Smart from MIR. Grove,
and was unocupied, except as q sleeping room by
one of Mr.. Smart's hands. The house was en-
tirely consumed. 1t is not known how the fire
originated, as there had been but fe GOALS in the
stove in the evening, and the stove securely
closed. From the fact that the fire originated
in the opposite side of the building from the
stove, it is supposed that some parties must
have gone into the house and lighted a fire in the
fireplace. We understand that some men had
been in the habit of playing cards in the house,
which was not locked, and it is the suppostion
that they kindled a fire, from which the build-
ing accidentally caught. 1t was insured in the
"Home'' company, of Columbus, Ohio, of
which Messrs. Bayly & Cook are agents, for
$500.

CIRCUIT CouRT.-Judge Mclaughlin, pre-
siding, adjourned on Saturday. There were
good many interesting cases, disposed OF at
the end of the term, among when
was that Of J. II. noughcrty vs.. n. II. fmi'
lips, who had executed note beginning u
promise to pay, &C. for lightning rod put up
at the Mozart Institute, and signed II. II.
Phillips, President of Mozart Institute Compa-
ny. The case was ably argued by counsel. and
judgment entered against r. II. Phillips, In
dividually, holding him personally bound Tor
the payment OF the note.
In the case OF Devries & Co. VS.. The Eliza
beth Iron Company, NJ. G. Hartman and A. Is.
Trick. the demurrer of defendant was over
ruled and Judgment entered for plaintiff, the
Court deciding that NJ. G. Ilarnan and A. b.
Trick, who endorsed negotiable note payable
to Dcvres & Co, who had not endorsed IT.,
were liable as sureties in the original obliga-
ton and did not occupy the position OF ordlna-
ny cndorscrs on negotiable paper.
In the case OF McChesney vs. Lara, &C., an
action Of covenant upon contract to secure
good title to the American Hotel property, the
defendants demurrer was over-rued and his
pleas rejected and the case will be tried on its
merits at the June term.
In both OF the above cases exceptions were
taken and whichever way they are decided will
doubtless 20 to the Supreme Court.
| The will of Elijah Dinkle was admitted to
record his widow, Sidney Dinkle, qualifying
as executrix.
During the term, which was not long one.
there were $50 intcrlocutory DEGREES in chan
Gerry entered AND so final DEGREES, many Of
which ended old and important cases. Over
| 400 judgments at law were rendered. .
On the last day of the term 80 DEGREES were
entered and the Clerks were kept up all night
writing them up, SO that the Court might adj
journ the next morning at s O'Clock. z

painful accident occurred i'll t...iis city on Sat-
urday last to little aeorgie, son OF Mr.. Hart
man, Train Dispatcher OF the c. 6 O. r. r.,
""ssed about eight years, by gravel thrown
from gravel shooter in the hands of little
Robert Ayres, son of r. NJ. Ayres. There are
apprclensons that the injury will cause the
loss OF the eye.
George Hartman is beautiful and man y
little fellow, and the idea OF his being disfig-
urcd by the loss of one of his pretty, in
intelligent eyes, is too sad to think about. The
fact is, these gravel shooters" now SO COM
mon in our city, are not emily very dangerous
things i'll the hands Of boys, but are a nuisance,
and as such should he dealt with by a city Or
dinance. Already number Of windows have
been broken, and some Of these days we may
hear of something even more S rious than the
loss of an eye.
Since writing the above, we learn that the
city Police have received orders OH the subject.
Boys, look out now
