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 440 w ing at the time, and but for the titiAeJy efforts of our citizens, the resi deters: «*f Mrs. Sdtisoil would have been destroys*! also. Most of the furniture saved. No insurance on the build ing. Mr. Lyle's loss is between five and .ix thousand dollars, tiimsell and family bain the warmest sympathies of our contJKWiiity.—. 1 them /hunter, 7/A inst. 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, Sxotv Bread.—The Ciucinnaiti Times *nys that all persons w here snow abounds «re not, perhaps, aware of the value of the fleecy flakes in making light, deli cious and w holesome bread. There is no "rising” in the world so perfectly physi ological as good, fresh, sweet snow; it raises bread or cakes as beatifuliy the !>est of yeast, or tbe purest acids and al kftlies, while it leaves no taint or fermen tation like the former, nor injurious neu tral salt like the latter.

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. For sale at tbe Madkea Book Store. s PRACTICE OF^MEDICINE AND SURGERY.—Dr. F. H.

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.

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.
