Alxit twilight tho roof of the two-story wooden house at the corner of Jackson Ami Few streets, owned by Gen. Penning, caught from a spark, and sism a considerable blaze was raised. The flame was quickly extinguished, and although the alarm in tho nclghliorhood was considerable, it did not reach the cen tral portion of the city, and hence the tiro bell whs not sounded. Rlvrr Sewn. The J. A. Farley arrived Sunday after noon from Balnbrtdge, bringing the fol lowing cargo: 54 bales cotton, 21 barrels syrup, 5 barrels merchandise, 154 pack ages sugar oanc.

Awlatairp Wanted. 'Three stout, healthy hx>kinj|findividuals yesterday applied to Mayor Mellhenny for food and help in general. They claim to be sailors, and say they came from Mobile ami are trying to got to Savannah. These applications are becoming very common. The idea of a man with health and strong anus appealing to public charity to help him out of triHible is simply ridiculous. When the petition for help comes from in nocent, orphaned childhood, or from weak and forsaken womanhood, the hand that can give relief should not be withheld; but when stout, stalwart, healthy men can stand up and oak for bread, they are almost deserving of a goo<l sized stone. FIXE. •I. U. Ivey At Bro. llurnt Out. On Sunday night about eight o’clock tho alarm of Are was sounded. .Service* had Just liegun In the various churches, and great confusion resulted from the alarm. Men will always run out of church to a fire. Some go from a sense of duty, while others merely catch the contagion and are carried on with tho tide. Tho ministers had their patience subjected to a crucial test, and wore compelled to continue their discourses amid constant confusion, and when it ceased a score or two of hirers were left. We may excuse this oxolteinont at a fire alarm when we remember that it rarely occurs in onr city. It was evident that the fire was on Brood street, and It was Boon located at the store of J. B. Ivey <fc Bro., dealers in family groceries. Before water could be thrown the Are hod spreud over the great er part of tho interior of tho store. The lathes and ceiling had caught and extin guishment was very difficult. The burn ing house was in tho center of one of the most Important blocks In tho city, and the Are companies went to work with might and main to prevent a spread of the flames. The .Sans Souci restaurant, a wooden build/ng was immediately adjoining the fire and it was thought that It would cer tainly burn. All tho engines commenced work energetically,and in half an hour the flames were under complete control, and were soon completely extinguished. A word of praise Is deserved by the negroes who belong to Washington Fire Company, and who worked with such untiring zeal and energy. Their assistance was valua ble indeed, and they contributed much to the quelling of tho flames. Tho origin of the Are is not certainly known. It seems to havo begun in the walls, and hence it is thought probable that rats may have eausod It by igniting matches. Mr. J. B. Ivey was in the store about twenty minutes before the alarm was sounded, and says he saw no signs of anything unusual. The entire stock of goods was either consumed or badly dam aged by water. The total loss was proba bly $2,300; $2,000 of this amount is covered by insurance in tho “Equitable” and “Planter’s” fire insurance companies, about the same amount in each company. The building was badly damaged, the root l>eing burnt entirely off, and the interior badly injured. Mr. James Kivlin is the owner, and we understand that his loss is insurance in the “South ern Mutual.” The adjoining buildings were scarcely injured. Bedell & Ware’s shoo store was made a little damp, but little damage was done to their stock. The old wooden building In which tho “Sans Souci” is kept was entirely preserved. The carpets in some of the rooms up stairs were a little Injured by the water. Our entire lire de partment deserves great credit for its promptness, without which the city might have suffered serious loss. We hope to see tho damage caused by tho Are soon repaired, ami the enegetic young men who were burned out again firmly set up in business and on the high road to prosperity. tlrautlfiil Sampler For Gents’ Spring and Hummer Suite, 1875, just received and on exhibition at Tho man A Prescott's Emporium of Fashion.

Robbery unit l ii|,t 11 On Monday morning about 4 o’clock the store of M. E. Barnett, at the eorher of Broad and Crawford straits, whs entered and robbed of a lot of goods of various kinds. About daybreak Mr. Barnett got on track of the robbers, and with tho aid of policemen Pickett and ltoper, and Mar shal Bobinson, ferreted the whole matter out. He suspected a negro by the name of Alfred McNeal, who was employed at Die store. This individual was soon found and some of the stolen goods discovered In ids possi'ssion. Several pairs of shoes , wore taken from him. Alfred saw that he was cornered and made a clean breast of the affair, confessing that lie did the foul deed. Another negro, Andrew Bell, was also arrested soon after, but was soon released, as there was no proof against him. There is another fish In the waters, and tho vigilant officers who caught Alfred and Andrew will be apt to draw him out. Keeo-very ol* Stolen Good*. We are happy to state that nearly all the gtxxis and one of the sowing machines recently stolen from St. Paul's Church have been recovered by our vigilant Police. There was strong reason to sus pect some negroes who live at what is known as the Cartlidge place, about five miles from the city, and on Saturday night officers Fortin and Bobinsou went out and arrested a nogro woman named Adeline Winter, who lives thoro. Adeline did not seem to bo implicated, but was able to throw great light on the subject, and her Information led to tho capture of the guilty parties. On yesterday Policemen Pickett, St Clair and Smith arrested John Winter, Levi Wimberly, Bob Leonard, Em ma Williams and Charles Bedding. Julia Carter was arrested at the parsonage on suspicion of complication with the other negroes. Yesterday afternoon the whole party was examined before Justice Mc- Cahey, and ail of them, except Charles Bedding, were required to give a bond of *SOO for their appearance at the Superior Court to answer a charge of robbery. They could not raise the bond and were sent to jail. Emma Williams was convic ted by having In her possession some goods which she stole from Mrs. Bardwell some time since. Policemen Cash and Brady recovered them. The capture of this gang of thieves reflects great honor on our excellent Mar shal and all the Police engagixl in it.

FleweUen, Columbus , (in.: Doar Sir—-I have road with much Inter est your appeal in the Dally Times, for for the poor of your city. lam In fullost sympathy with you on tills subject. Your position Is a noble one, and our duty at the present hour, as a Christian jveoplc, is a plain one. Establish your soup house for those who cannot work, and furnish labor or employment for those who are iKWfdntf for it, and thon you are doln# the Master's work. If we, as a Christian pooplo, will do our duty, we will not only alleviate tho sufferings of our fellow Us ings, but save thousands by our humanity to virtue, and society. An experience of several years immediately after the war, as Chairman of the Relief Committee of the City Council of Atlanta, and close ob servation since, lias fully sottled me in my opinion that herein rests the great danger to society. The neglecting of our poor (who arc always with us,) who by want are driven into dissipation—dishonesty and oven into prostitution. I am glad to see that your sympathies are moved towards this unfortunate class of the human family. You are right, “go on,” and may God incline the heart of all jjcoplo, everywhere, in this direction. Please excuse this liberty on the part of a stranger to you, but a sympathizing friend of the [w>or everywhere. God bless you, and them. I trust I will Iso excused by tin* writer of the above tetter, for its publication without permission. His remarks touch ing our duty to the poor, arc bo l>eautiful ly and touchingly put, that I am irrosist ably inclined to give his vtews to the pub lic, in hope of some encuragement being given to such, as may feel indifferent- or careless on the subjvjet. This gentleman Is a resident of Atlanta, a stranger in ac quaintanceship, and yet, a brother in sym pathy, for suffering humanity every where. I was approached yesterday, by an old and accomplished gentleman, who, with hands extended, and heart enlisted, begging that the Executive Board of Re lief should not pass him by, but call at his office and receive his monthly offering. 1 am proud to say there are many such gen tiomen aud ladies who have approached me in the same cordial and Christian man ner, proffering aid to our Association of Belief. I trust the committees who have boon assigned to their respective blocks, will not overlook any family, business or office gentlemen, In taking their monthly contributions. They are expecting you around, ladies, and will fool slighted if not called upon to receive their offerings. I desire to have a foil attendance of all the ladies and gentlemen who have been named in connection with our Belief Asso ciation, and invite members of the Press, and pastors of congregations, whose hearts are inclined to our cause, (the relief of suffering humanity,) to be present, and co-operate with us. Any others who may feel an interest in the humanitarian scheme of relief, will meet with a cordial reception in the homo of Mrs. Estes, at our next assemblage, on Wednesday after noon, at 3.30 o’clock.

On Saturday Mr. Odom, the City Sexton, caught a little negro boy carrying off some grave ornaments from the cemetery. The boy was too small to receive legal punish ment, and Mr. Odom delivered him up to parental justice.

POLICE AND GAS. The Committee on Police and Gas re ported that they had conferred with the Columbus Gas Company and had secured the following reduction in the price of gas: Per lamp, at S4O, to $35 per annum; per one thousand feet, at $6, to $5. The Gas Company scut in a communication In which they agreed to make the contract binding for several years. The Committee opposed making the arrangement for a longer time than the present year. The Committee asked Council to give them authority to reduce the Police force and salary of the remaining part of the force, when Council shall deem it neces sary. Report received and tho authority asked for granted. FINANCE. The Committee on Finance reported in favor of reducing the tax on brokers from SIOO and commissions to $75 without com missions. They also reported in fa vor of amending the last article of section 5 so) as to make the tax of SSO fall also on all who sell by wholesale or retail on actual delivery. These two sections wore recon sidered and repealed. The same sections were then re-enacted as amended. A communication was read from Tony Jenkins, asking the Council to give Fire j Company No. 6 a complete set of caps and l>elts. Communication received and re ferred to Committee on Fire Department. There were a large number of communi cations presented from various citizens, asking a reduction of the assessment of their property. All these petitions wore referred to Committee on Finance, without being read. Accounts to tho amount of $543 64 had te'en approved, were read and referred to Committee on Accounts.

By Alderman Flournoy - Resolved, That the Acting Deputy Mar shal bo instructed to plough up and har row the Court-house yard; to arrange for the more effoctual drainage of the same, and also to raise and grade th** walks Adopted. Alderman Blanchard stated Informally that the County Commissioners desired a remodeling ot tho present arrangement of the Court House. They want to get the present Council Chamber fora Superior Court room, and propose to give Council the right to meet there still or take rooms up stairs. They wish to make the present Council Chamber a finely ornamented court room. This would change the whole plan of the present interior arrangement They propose to make all change at the expense of the county. This was merely presented to bring out the views of the Council. Alderman Jordan favored the plan, be cause it will afford much safer keeping for the papers and books of the city. Ho offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the Committee on City Improvements and Commons be instruct ed to confer with County Commissioners concerning the proposed change in the Court House.

Reporters’ horror—Council meetings. Tho candy fever is now In its last stages. Florida snakes are said to Ist thawing out. The river Is muddy and the cat fish re- 1 Joleeth. The “winds blew and the floods came" while we wrote this. They are praying for rain in Albany, N. | Y. Wo need no such prayers just now. The poor of Macon lift up a united voice : and bless the soup house of that city’. Detroit boy’s composition: “The horse runs; so does the gazelle; so does my nose.” A man who has only been, married three weeks now constantly sings, “There is rest for the weary.” Button-hole bouquets are much worn by ! our festive youth. They are styled amu- i lets of affection. A follow uses a strange expression when , speaking of a close-fisted friend. He says, “He is stingy to a fault.” “Lo, the poor” African, who thinks the j millennium has come because the Senate j has passed the Civil Rights bill. Avery young and very sweet little girl t in this city is keeping Lent by abstaining ; from the luxurious enjoyment of syrup, f The pleasures of consolation are never | so finely illustrated as when t he old maids j get to talking about the “horrid men.” There are three Mexican youths now ut Emory College, who are to be educated and sent back as missionaries to their na tive land. “Mary’s little goat” got into trouble yesterday. He jumped into a neighbor’s garden, and retired on throe legs. It is now said that woman was created before man that she might look around the house and find his hat and boots for him. Anna Dickinson is wailing aliout the awful condition of Washington society. Anna knows how to appreciate such things. John Harrison, gentleman and boot black, lingers constantly on Broad street and brightens the understandings of the populace. There may not Ik? much sense in all this poetic talk aliout “the midnight oil,” but it pays lots better than gas at $6 a thou- | sand. The winds, the rains, the dust, the heat, i and several other powerful forces, made a j strong effort to make yesterday disagree- j able, and their success was remarkable. , Good! An Ohio grand jury has indicted ; church fair raffles as violations of the j the statutes against gambling. Put the i holy blacklegs through. Kentucky girls are sharp. One of them promised her grandfather never to marry a certain young man on the face of the ; eurth. Tho ceremony was performed in Mammoth Gave. We have heard of scarlet fever, yellow j fever, and of people having the blues, but j an Alabama doctor ought to enjoy the honor of finding the first case of green i fever on record. The singing of a young lady in t his city , is described by an admirer “as gently gushing melody, which deluges the soul in a limpid s.* t of thrilling ec- j stacy.” The young folks were out in force at the fire Sunday night. The boys say it’s nice to talk sweet by moonlight, but firelight is still better. “Thou hast all times for thine own, oh ! ” It is rumored that the editor of the Tal-1 botton Standard , while in Macon a few days since, procured a ticket to the soup | house from Mayor Huff. He pronounces it a gi and success. Those who oppose general relief of tin* poor may lx* divided into two classes those who do not want to relieve the un deserving and those who do not want to relievo anybody. Jake Burrus has got an oval curiosity ; that is, an extremely curious egg. It is shaped like an artichoke and has more twists and crooks than “Carter had oats.” He has made arrangements to sell this phenomenon to the French Academy of Sciences. There is an old tattered, dirty, filthy looking coat for sale in this city. The owner asks seventy-five dollars for it. True, its inherent value is not much, but then, it was cut by one Andrew Johnson, who is now out of the business. The negroes who stole the sewing ma chine from St. Paul Church were brought before the Mayor yesterday, but he de cided that the case was one of more im portance than any usually disposed of there, and the examination was postponed until afternoon, when a Justice of the Peace fillet! the bill.

Do You Want Health V ! Why Will Ye Die? Death, or what is I worse, is the inevitable result of continued suspension of the menstrual tiow. It is a condition which should not be trifled with. Immediate relief is the only safeguard against constitutional ruin. In all cases of suppression, suspension or other irreg ularity of the “courses,” Dr. J. Bradfleld’s Female Regulator is the only sure reme dy. It acts by giving tone to the nervous centres, improving the blood, and determ ining directly to the organs of menstrua tion. It is a legitimate prescription, and the most intelligent doctors use it. Pre pared by J. H. Bradfietd, druggist, Atlan ta, Ga., $1 50 per bottle, and sold by re spectable druggists everywhere.
