Mr. Coleman, Of Louisville, who is the

One of Mr. $. Z. Wilson'S little girls
let lamp fall from her hands, Saturday
night. and the flames rushing up from the
spilled oil, threatened, for time, to destroy
the building. Mr. Wilson being at home
finally succeeded in extingu!shing the
flames by smsthcring them with his over
coat. While the coat was yet in blaze. he
flung il out doors, and was about TO dismiss
the coat from his mind when he recoilec,cd

The great business establishment Of
Mcssrs. Goldstine & Rosenwater, in this
city, is divided into two distinct depart
men,s. One Of them Is devoted to clothing
gents furnishing goods, etc, and the other

tanned Under the superintendent Of Mr..

interest and size. Notwithstanding the
cold, indoors and out, nearly fifty children,
boys and girls had gathered there, whose
eager looks showed that the superintendent
= had succeeded in interesting them in The
exercises The singing the children was
particularly fine. Mr., S.. leads the singing
himself. MissvMonte Mctcalf, the organist
not being present at the commencement
y little Mamie Stratton took her place at thu
organ, and played in manner that, in on,
so young, was truy surprising. The par
} ents of the children fail to recognize tn
. existence of the school, if their persisten
absence may be given such an interpreta
ton. Struggling as the school is, fer
