Burning of q TugbOat.

The tugboat George w. Pride, owned
by Captain A. J. Fair, lying near the
Washington ferry ship, was found to be
on fire between II and II o'clock last
night. An alarm was sounded and the
department responded. The flames, how
ever. had attained considerable Roadway,
owing TO the inhammable nature of the
material of the boat, and the upper work
was considerably damaged before the hire
could be subdued. Joseph Wright, OF
Georgetown, fireman on the tugboat,
was awakened by dog paving him, and
he owes his life to the sagacity OF the
animal. The boat was valued at about
sc. 600 and is insured. 1t had recently
been overhauled and new housework
added The origin of the fire is unknown.
During the progress of the fire
Messrs. Benjamin Scrivener and Ernest
Mills succeeded in moving two steam
launches which were lying near the
Pride to a place of safety.

A Comparatively Quiet Fourth.

TWAS generally conceded that the III
cidents connected with yesterday were
more orderly than those that often ac-
company the Fourth of July. The little
ones seemed to enjoy themselves in
more innocent manner, and the law
having in a measure been enforced
against the use of ear-splitting and
dangerous explosives, the older ones
sought other modes of enjoyment. Gen
erallv at daybreak on the Fourth OF
July loud reports are heard in different
quarters of the city. These noises did
not accompany the sun as he rose yes
terday, and people were allowed to en-
joy morning maps. Later, however, the
younger generation exploded firecrack-
ers, torpedoes, &C., and continued the
diversion until late into the night.
Roman candles, rockets, freballons. So
far as konOw OH serious accident resulted.
&c. were also brought into requisition.
The toy pistol had been interdicted,
but an instrument of torture equally as
dangerous was operated incessantly.
This obnoxious continuance consists OF
stick upon which caps are placed. They
are exploded by being brought into con-
tact with the pavement when particles
of the cap fly in every direction and
should they lodge into the bare legs of
the operators are as liable to produce
tetanus as the toy pistol. A large pro-
portion of the population spent the day
at rural retreats or patronized the ex-
cursiOn steamers or trai ms.
