Destructive Fire.
One of tbe most extensive fires, in the
numlier of buildings destroyed, occurred
in this city about 12 o’clock Sunday
night, that has been for many years—
probably twenty. The fire originated in
a shop on Chew’s Alley, (which leads
from Broad to Ellis street, opposite the
Eagle and Phoenix Hotel,) a very com
bustible neighborhood, occupied as a
vegetable store by Bill Hale, a negro
from whence it extended in every direc
tion, consuming in its progress some
twenty-five or thirty buildings of all de
scriptions. The wind was blowing a stiff
breeze from the northwest, and it was in
tensely cold, which rendered the labors
of our gallant firemen doubly severe.—
Nor would they have been able with all
their zeal and energy, to have confined
(he progress of the fiames within the
present limits, but for the very efficient
aid afforded by the steam engine of our
neighbors, C. A Platt <fc Cos., who
promptly got up steam, (although, being
Sunday uight, their boiler was entirely
cold.) and for five consecutive hours
threw a continuous s'ream of water
through two thousandfeet of hose and
an inch pipe, upon thedevouring tle
lnen'. —.1 KffUtla Citron. it'Sen 6/A inst.
Fire.
The residence of Mr. David J. I.yle,
in this place, was consumed by fire on
last Sunday evening. It originated in
one of the negro houses, in which a
negro child, aliout five years old, was
I burned. From the negro house it com
municated with the dwelling, and in less
than a half hour from the first alarm,
(every building on the premises was en
veloped’ in flames. A strong wind was

saved. No insurance on the build

I vrKMecinscE ix Latino. —The cele
brated I>r. Caldwell very truthfully re
tu.-rks :
Notwithstanding the extensive m's
cliief done by the intemperate use of
intoxicating drinks, and the Well design
ed efforts made to suppress it, I have
long been inclined to believe, and still
belie* c„ that, w hatever may be the case
in other countries where food is less
abundant, and therefore more expensive,
mi the United States the aggregate of
nwil produced by over eating, in plainer
language, by gluttony—is greater than
fihat produced bv drunkenness. I ven
ture to say, a greater amount of sickness
and death i* the amnml produce of the
iterater than of the latter. My reason
(o r this opinion is easily told. The tatio
of drunkards is small. But we are a
nation of j.sutt«vs. The population of
tlie United States, amounting to up
wards of 20,000,000, consumes in a given
tiitue much more food (and food milch
**o.re stimulating and difficult of diges
Mill, and therefore calculated to over
tKwrk the stomach and exhaust the
npwers) than the jKijuiL-ilion of Fran a;,
•Tillich consists of more than 30,000,000.
ttn lusaads of children, usjtecially, are
iMimully destroyed in the United Slates,
not only by being permitted to eat to
.excess, but by being actually enticed to
the gross and pernicious practice,

Great Cube of Rnertt atism. —
The Editors of the Richmond Republican of Dec.
24th, 1852, say that Carter’s Spanish Mixture is
no quack medicine.
They had a man in their press room who wa*
afflicted with violent mercurial rheumatism, who
was continually complaining of misery in tbe
back, limbs and joints:—his eyes had become fe
verish and mattery, neck swollen, throat sore,
and all the symptoms of rheumatism, combined
with Scrofula. Two bottles of Carter’s Spanish
Mixture cured him, and, in an editorial notice as
above, they bear testimony to its wonderful ef
fects, and say their only regret is, that all suffer
ing with disease of the blood are not aware of the
existence of such a medicine. They cheerfully
recommend it.

that purpose; dip your brush in cither warm or

we can say, from the ocular proof, that the 4 Balm
of a Thousand Flowers,’ a preparation for re
moving tan, pimples and freckles from the face,
shaving, cleansing the teeth, and curling the
hair, sold by Fctridge & Cos., Boston, is the best
article of the kind we have ever encountered. It

BEAUTIFUL ASSORTMENT OF
TXI.IB?nO>E!
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED from New York,
Baltimore, and Philadelphia, the most exten
sive assortment of VALENTINES ever offered
in this place, and everything connected with
them, such as Wbitkrs, Versus, Envelopes, Lack
Paper, Ac., and am prepared to fill orders,
Wholesale or Retail, at prices from five cents to
twenty dollars.
I have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty
and love, and her darling Cupid, and they have
Spaciously chosen for their retreats the Madison
ook Store, and have commissioned their friend,
Benjamin G. Liddon, as High Priest of Love,
Courtship, and Matrimony.
44 The world is full of poetry—the air
Is living with its spirit* and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of
affections, which are borne upon the gilded wings
of Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valentine,
to some fair friend breathing the pure sentiments
of friendship, esteem, and all the Kindlier regards
for those to whom we donate. It may, perchance,
be received with silent approval, told only by the
fair face,
44 Where eloquent blushes burn and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion ;
Or starry dimples ifiock the shade,
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought,
where language fails. They substitute, in glow
ing eloquence, the reading of the heart, by their
symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a servant of the public,
I am doing all in my power to further the inter
ests of those youths and maidens who are suffer
ing from an affection of the heart. To all, of ev
ery age, and of every rank in life, I offer a spe
cific that has never failed. Such is the wonder
ful power of tbe Valentines sold by me, as a phi
lanthropist and conservator of tlic tender pas
sions, that none make love without sending one
as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.

A DISCOVERY
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
To the Mairied Ladies and Unmarried Ladies,
Married Gentlemen and unmarried
gentlemen, and to those of both sexes
who have once been manied, and wish
again to marry:
DR. MEIERE’S HAIR RESTORATIVE,
which costs only fifty cents, is warranted to re
store grey hair to its original color. The changu
from grey to the most beautiful black or brown,
is gradually effected by the occasional use of this
preparation. The Restorative is superior to most
of the compounds in use, for dyeing lhe hair, a a
it contains nothing that is in the slightest degree
deleterious. It also encourages the growth of
the hair by keeping the roots free from dandruff.
For the cure ot eruptions of the scalp, such as
scald-head, tetter, Ac., Ac., this composition
stands unrivalled.
