The first floor was occupied as a Stable, ane, at the time of the tire contained eighteen «jr twenty horses, five of which belonged to Mr. James L. Dayton, and the others were owned by various parties, sutlers of tegiments and O'cbers. Six horses perished in the flames; the f emainder were rescued, though some of them We injured. Mr. Dayton recently laid in a ¥tge stock of hay and other provender, all of avhich was destroyed. Mr. Dayton also lost sev- ‘eral vehicles and sets of harness, making his entire loss between three and four thousand dollars. The firemen labored hard, under all the disad- vantages to which they have been subjected by the neglect of the authorities during the last eighteen months to make the department effective. Ens Franklin, Perseverance, and Hook and Lad- ler Companies were early on the id. soon after the battalion of U.3. troope artived, but their effprts were unavailing. The stable was utterly destroyed. Some small weoden buildings near by were somewhat by the fire. It is a question whether it was the result of accident or an tncendi: act.

Bountex.—Among the incidents of the war in its effects on this city is the establishment on Pennsylvania avenue over Wall & Stephens’, be- tween Ninth and Tenth streets, of a branch of Buhler’sfamous restaurant at the corner of Broad- way and Eighth avenue, New York city. For twelve years we have known Bubler’s house in New York as the establishment frequented by the famous gourmets there whilom accustomed to continental gastronomy, and are free to say that we have never seen its equal. Already Buh- ler’s Washington establishment (which he super- intends in penees is constantly thronged with guests, so far principally French and German officers from New York and neighboring States, who have been his patrons in Gotham. We can safely say that if our fellow-citizens who like exquisite cookery will pay him a visit they will enjoy there such dinners and suppers as are rarely indeed to be found elsewhere this side of Paris A member of the noted New York house of Weilker—importers of Rhine and other German and French wines—is Buhler’s partner here, and dispenses at very reasonable prices much finer wines of those gai aay than were previously obtainable in the Federal Metropolis. No bar is kept in the house, their wines and liquors being = it for sale to the patrons of their sumptuous es. MuRpgr tx THE SEveNtH Warp —This morn- ing, patrolmen Campbell and McCauley, of the Seventh Ward police, discovered the body of a colored woman named Rachel Turner lying in Lambell’s old ship yard, foot of Ninth street south. She was dead, and from the fact that blood was discovered in several places around, and her frock torn as if in a scuffle, and a wound under the Tight eye, the officers suspected fou! play: although she was a woman of intemperate abits, and when found the side of her face was lying in the water. Her residence was in the notorious locality known to the police for years st as Desmond’s Alley, between Ninth and enth and E and F streets south The patrolmen went directly to her house, and there discovered blood on the floor, and they arrested all in the house and that — and carried them before Justice Stratton. There was evidence of a quarrel and fight in the house of deceased last night, and without further testimony, the m»gistrate, to secure the witnesses, and, if possible, the princi pals, committed all to jail to await the verdict of the coroner’s inquest, not yet made. The parties are all colored. Of those in the house, the names are: James Dougias, Noah Shields, Lemuel Har- ris, aay F Wheeler, Susan Anderson, and Eliza . The witnesses, from the next house, are: Alfred Ler James Turner, Mary Brown, Mary E. Fitzbugb. HoxRis_e Accipent —A Member of the Dis- trict Volunteers Crushed bythe Cars —Last Friday night a horrible accident occurred just beyond the station at Bladensburg, on the Baltimore and Washington Railroad, by whica private Drury, of Captain Clarks’scompany, was insiantly killed. Drury was stationed to guard the track, and while on duty was induced to drink freely—stupefying him to such a degree that waile sitting upon the track he was unconscious of the approach of the evening train, although warned by the shouts of bis comrades. The engineer saw him, whistled down breaks, reversed his engine, and by shouts endeavored to arouse the man, but in vain; the cow-catcher striking him and completely tearing him to pieces, scattering ments of his bod along the track. The remains of the unfortunate young man were gathered i by his comrades and decently interred at their own expense ina neighboring burial ground. Drury was a youn; man about eighteen years of ded across the Eastern Branch. This occurrence is rendered more lamentable, from the fact that the deceased was not addicted to drinking, and was neyer known to be intoxicated before. Kiwe’s NationaL Ciacus.—This entire estab- lishment has removed to Georgetown, and will form for three days, on the corner of West and Green streets.
