MeSSfS. j. l. Hill & 90. nave cS-
tablished headquarters at the Ma
tional Bank for the present They
have some agricultural implements
left, wagons, machinery, &c, which
they offer through our advertising
columns. Mr.. +. NJ. Bunch has
moved across the street into one of
Mr.. Osborn's houses. Asa Foster
ditto. r. G.. Hall has stored his
goods across the street up stairs
and in @. d G.'s cellar, and will not
now resume. ]. G. Young has open
ed in the Crow block, North Side.
McLaurine d Co. have stored up
stairs in same building. Rosenau

Office is now at Craig's, and the tel
egraph Office is in the front part of
McCallum's law office for the pres
ent, but the Company mas secured
a room in the Osborn House, where
it will be removed in few days.
just about the time the rage of
the flames had subsidized Mr.. Rege-
mold discovered the fire from his
house in Bellvue, and started out
down Mill Lane at his greatest
speed, with hat in hand, giving the
alarm with all the strength of his
lungs. Before he had proceeded |
far he began to meet the people GO
ing home from the scene of confia |
grafton to resume their slumbers,
when he quietly slid off to a back
street and crcpt up to gaze with awe
upon the smouldering mass of ruins.
Among the prominent workers
who saved the National Bank at the |
fire are also Messrs. Owen King,
Pink Ezell, V. Trudeau, j. B. Stacy,
Jr., and others. Possibly we should |
not have mentioned any names, but |
these men and those mentioned in
our regular report have been sug-
gested to us as deserving of special |
praise. There were many others
doubtless, and we would not dispar-
age single one of them, for all de
served praise who worked at all.
A young man, whom we will call |
Brown for short, was standing on
DIT. Grants Office with bucket of |
water when he discovered the shade !
trees to be on fire, aad tried to put !
them out. He did not Cal culate
the distance correctly, however, and |
consequently he empted the whole !
contents of the bucket upon one of |
our prominent young lawyers. The
said p. |. had to stay at home all |
day Sunday on account of the con-
dition of his good clothes.
One lunatic ran up to a lady in |
great excitement while the fire was |
in progress and asked her to hold |
his watch till it was over. 1t was
worth exactly $2.374. Another
threw two framed pictures out Of a
third story window and ran down
stairs with couple of split bottom
chairs.
Mr.. Atha Baugh, who was sales
man at Hill q Co.'s and who slept |
in the store, lost all his clothing,
&c. He had gone down home at
Elkton on Saturday evening, and |
as no one could get into the store
or to his room, nothing was saved.
When people sleep amid such |
noise and confagration as we had
Sunday morning they had better
keep sharp lookout, for if they
should happen to be asleep when |
Gabriel blows his trump they might
miss the resurrection.
Robert King, 10. Alexander, Pc
ter and Jack Lowry, Robert Mason,
Lewis and Wallace Drish, Albert |
Knight and Morris Cleveland, all
colored, are entitled to mention, we
are informed, for their noble service
during the fire.
One man who thinks he Kan
climb well got on top of the Bank
after the fire had been arrested aud
called for water with all his might.
One man living on East Hill was
greatly astonished Sunday evening
at 2 o'clock to learn what calamity
had befallen Pulaski.
A typographical error made the
American report Capt. Crows in
surance $4,000 when it was only
$4,000.
