A Fire and Fircman's Row.

Last evening at o'clock, an alarm
of fire was sounded and the firemen of
our city responded to the call. Smoke
was seen coming from the warehouse OF
Geo. w. Bush & Son at French street
wharf. The fire was soon extinguish-
ed, and the ouly damage done was the
destroying Of two bales of rags. The
supposition is that the fire was caused
by spontaneous combustion. As the
fire companies were returning from the
fire, the Reliance and Washington Fire
men had quite an exciting race up
Market street. The Washington Fire
Company passed the Reliance and when
near Sixth and Market streets the Re-
lance passed the Washington, when
a members hat of the latter Company
fell off and fellow member of the
same Company kicked the hat, sending
it among the members of the Reliance
Company.
This was the means of causing
quarrel; when it is stated that one
Maxwell Dixon, member of tho
"Washy" was arrested. Dixon was
released on bail last evening, and will
have hearing this evening at 7 O'Clock.
1t is stated by several that Officer
Payne, who made the arrest, fearing
an attempt would be made by the
large crowd present to rescue his pris-
oner, drew his revolver, but at the So
licitation of several citizens, he did not
use it.

On last Saturday evening at 9 o'clock,
two masked men entered the toll house
OH the Concord pike, and shut the
door after them. Mr.. Baird, who is u
years of age, and the keeper of the toll
gate, surmising their purpose, ordered
them out, but not obeying his command
picked up a club and knocked one of
the men down and also did the same
with the other man. One of the men
Immediately ran out of the toll gate
house tripping Mr.. Baird as he ran and
throwing him down, while the other
man kicked him. The noise was heard
by his wife, and calling to her to get a
gun, which she did, and fired it off,
thereby soaring the robbers who made
their exit without securing any booty.
The supposition is that the burglars
were after money, but as Mr.. Baird was
robbed not long ago Of $50 he has since
then kept but little money about him.
MIR. Baird started to give chase to the
robbers down the pike, but being fired
at by them, a bullet whizzing past ks
cheeks, he concluded not to keep up
the chase, and the robbers escaped.

The True Way to InvigOrafe.

The true way to invigorate o feeble system
is to intuse activity into the operations of the
stomach, that wondrous alembic in which the
food is TRANSMITTED into the constituents OF
blood, the chief element of our vitality. Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters, because 1t accom-
plishes this end, is greatly to be preferred to
many so called tonics, useful indeed as appe-
tizers, but imperative as aids to digestion and
assimilation. This sterling cordial, while it
invigorates the stomach beautifully stimu-
ates the liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensuring
the escape through the regular channels OF ef-
ete and useless matter thrown off by the sys-
TEN, which is thus purified as well as invgo-
rated by it. Its tonic influence is soon made
manifest by an increase OF vital energy and
more active and regular DISCHARGE of every
physical function, and 1t has the further effect
of rendering the system unassailabe by mala-
rial epidemics.

A Dash for Liberty.

Saturday afternoon, Officer McCor
mick arrested young man named Rob-
ert Foreacre, for fighting at the corner
of Second and French streets. Robert
was placed in cell No. 3, and in the af-
ternoon made his escape by squeezing
through the wicket in the cell door
Young Foreacre is 10 years of age, and
weighs no pounds, and it seems strange
that he could make his escape out of so
small u space. However he succeeded
in gaining his liberty, and at present
writing has not been captured.

The New Church.

Yesterday morning and evening the
Reformed Episcopal Church of the Gov
enant held their services in the Old
Union Church, for the first time. For
weeks the members OF the Church had
worked together OH the building and at
last they had the pleasure Of seeing
grand work appreciated, IS the attend
ance both morning and evening was
large. The Church is elegantly fitted
up and presents very handsome ap-
pearance. Several persons not men-
bers of the Reformed Church, but who
were members Of the Old Union Church
stated this morning "that the Church
now, with the Improvements made,
looks 10 per cent. better than it ever
did" The Church was not consscrat.
ed yesterday as the Reformed Episco-
pal body, never consecrate a church
until it is out of debt, so the services
were what might be called, the opening
services.
A few hundred dollars would meet
all the expenses and the members hope
by the assistance of the generous pub
lie, to very soon be- free from all the in
cumbrances. At the Sunday School in
the mOrninL there were present Al
teachers and scholars and 4 visitors,
making 245 persons present on its first
opening in their new place of Worship.
Rev. William B. Feltwell, of the Re-
formed Episcopal Church of PLiladel-
phia, delivered an able sermon both
morning and evening. In the morning
his text was "FOr as often as ye eat
this bread, and drink this cup, ye do
show the Lords death till he come"
The speaker in his remarks said that
it was no ordinary occasion that had
brought the people TO the church, but
it was for the purpose at once Reopen
the building with humble and contrite
hearts, and the minister was to preach
the gospel with the power and demon
stration of the Holy Ghost.
The collections both morning and
evening were fair. Services will be
held in the church every evening this
week except Saturday evening. This
evening Rev. +. B. Duval, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, will conduct
the service. There are two objects in
view in holding these meetings. The
first is to have ministers of other de-
nominations participate in the services,
and, the second is the salvation of souls.
To these meetings they extend cordial
invitation to all denominations to at
tend,

Horrible Death.

A singularly painful experience has
been that of burglar who has been
emulating the exploits of Mr.. Peace, at
Sheffield. The plunder-seeker determin-
ed to enter pawn brokers' shop by the
chimney. Descending to within six
feet of the fire place, he stuck fast, and
despite all his efforts, utterly failed to
get free.
For four long hours he struggled in
vain, and then the servant of the pawn
broker came and lighted the fire below.
Then the roasting of the burglar began.
What kind of sens alton the robber ex-
perienced we are left to imagine; all that
is known is that after three hours of tor
ture, his groans became so audible that the
proprietor of the place heard them and,
sending for the police an builder, did
the best he could to extricate the thief.
This proved, however, to be no easy
matter, for before the entrapped rascal
could be rescued the brickwork had to
be taken down. When found the miser-
able man was imbedded firmly, his
mouth and eyes were filled with SCOT,
and he was dreadfully scor ched so that
he died Immediately after he was taken
out.

A WOman,s Thumb.

THE female thumb Is said to be an
i important index Of the female
character. Women with large thumbs
are held by phrenologists, physlogno-
mists, ETC., to be more than ordinarily
intelligent-what are called sensible
women," while women with small
thumbs are regarded as ' romantic.n
According to certain authors, who
profess to have been observers, wo-
mans hand Is more indicative of wo-
mans character than her face, as the
latter is to a certain extent under the
control of temporary emotions, or of
the will, whereas the former Is q fact
which exists for any one who under
stands 1t to profit by. Consequently
few hints about the proper reading
of woinan's hand may be very useful
to certain of our readers, especially mar
ried men, or men contemplating matri-
mony.
Women with square hands and small
thumbs are said to make good house
wives and gentle wives These sort of
women will make any man happy who
is fortunate enough to win them. They
are not at all romantic, but they are
what is better thoroughly domestic.
Women with very large thumbs have q
temper" of their own, and gennerally
a long tongue.
There is hint in this to lover. Let
him, the first time he seizes hold of his
mistress hand, examine under some
pretext or another her thumb; and if
it be large let him make up his mind
that as soon as he becomes q married
man he will have to be good boy, or
else there will be the very deuce to
pay.
Again, If young man finds that his
ladly-love has large palm, with cone
shaped fingers and large thumb, let
him thank his stars, for in that case she
is susceptible to tenderness, readily fiat
tered, easily talked into or talked out of
anything, and can be readily managed
partner. But if she is woman with a
square hand, well proportioned, and
only tolerably developed thumb, why
then she is either one of the two dis
tinct classes of woman-she is either
practical female who will stand no
nonsen se," or she is designing fe-
male" She is a woman who cannot
be duped, or woman who will dupe
him.
