The fire was not discovered nntil it had burned through the top of the building. The tire companies were on the scene quickly afier the alarm was mounded, and did good work, con* sidering the way it was hnndicapptd. The nearest plug to the fire was -oiuethiug over a square distunt, and it was necessary to use the hose from three reels. There should be a plug near the corner of Dr. Hull's residence. It is Hoped this matter will receive the prompt atteution of tlie authorities. The stable with its contents, fod der, hay, peas, aud a buggy, were destroyed. The loss was about #500. The origin of the fire is unknown. A Card of Thank*.

The wonderful Annie Abbott gave an entertainment at the Opera House m this city last Friday evening. The house was crowded from pit to dome. Ibe people in this, her native oliy, were not only desirous of showing their appreciation of her personally, but were eager to witness the mag aetic powers that had made her famous throughout the world. A large committee composed of onr best citizens were invited upon the stage to test her powers. Among them were Dr. T. O. Powell of the state Insane Asylum, and Dr. H. D. Alien, of the Midway Sanitarium. It is needless to say this committee of leading citizens were amazed and failed to find a solution of the myg., terious power that has puzzled the scientific men of the world, and which she does not herself under, stand, The pbenominal success attending the entertainments of Mrs Abbott at home and abroad is a sufficient guarantee to resume another ex» tended tour of America. After an absence of three years m the old world, haying performed before all the crowned heads in Europe, and also various scientific societies in that country, she has commenced her second and last tour of the United States. She is one of the most remarkable women the world has ever known, and will attiact large crowds wherever she goes. By general request a second en tertainment was given by Mrs. Ab bott on Saturday evening, which was also largely uttended. She will give an entertainment in Macon next Wednesday night. DEATH OF MH.
