his address, which bespoke the pro-.
fessional man of arms, from manu-
script. which fact, however, did not
seem to detract from the spirit and
effectiveness of its delivery. 1t was
pre-eminentiv a talk from soldier to
soldiers. and the speaker was especially
happy in picturing with new lights and
expressions, the vicissitudes of
soldiers active life in
time of war. He was greeted with a
very hearty and prolonged round of ap-

Loomis as representing the post. The
mayor accompanied this, his personal
gift. with but few words, saying that
he regretted his poverty OF language
that prevented him paying really fit

the cause which the occasion suggested.
COmrade LOOMS made manly and
soldier-like reply, after which he in

MINOR NOTES,
The greatest loss entailed here by fire
for a number of years befell yesterday
morning, wher the Northwestern brew
cry, south Main street, was partially
destroyed, the loss being estimated by
the proprietor. Frank Apple, at 1872, 900,
itemiZed as follows: Eleven hundred
bushels of malt. a considerable quantity
of hops and brewers supplies, $500;
machinery. tools, fixtures, beer barrels,
tubs, ETC., 81, 500; building, $4,000. There
is total insurance of $500. of which
$4,000 is on the building, divided
equally between the Continental, of
New York. and Scottish Union and
National, of Edinburgh, represented by
Smith & Davis. On the stock
the Scottish Union and National has
$4,000, the Lion, of London, 1000: the
Bdwery. of New York, $500 (Smith &,
Davis, and the Farmers, of York,
$1,000 &C. l.. Easton.) The fire is thought
to have started near the tall elevator
shaft, but its exact location and origin
isa mystery. The Waterman on his
round at 1:15 a. m. found everything
all safe, as he supposed, but twenty
minutes later the flames had full pos
session of the malt house and brew
cry house. The stone walls remain
