About 8:45 this morning fire broke out in the three-story frame house on High street near N occupied by Benj. F. Shanks as a bar room and dwelling. The alarm was turned in at the en- gine house and in a few minutes the fire fighters Were on the scene. Owing, however, to the flames being confined between the ceiling and roof it was with much difficulty water could be thrown upon them and in consequence they spread to the ceiling of the adjoining house, occupied by Mr. John W. Coon aa s paperhanging establishment, Ready hands assisted at the taking out of the house furniture, which was placed in the store of Mr. C. H. Demar next door. One of the Washing- ton engines came over, attached her hose to the O street’ plug and ren- dered good service. Tho loss by the flames proper is probably «mall, but the water thrown upon them seriously hurt the ceilings, walls and stock of the affected build- ings. The houses are owned by the heirs of the Mosier heirs and leased by Mr. Coon. ‘The loss to the buildings is about €500 and to the stock about 250. CHURCH CELEBRATIONS.

Instead of Santa Claus taking posses- sion of the good things Christopher Columbus assumed control an... aided bya crowd of noi but generous Indians, threw candies, nuts, figs, &c.,'into the lap of every one present. ‘The children were delighted at the entertain- ment and voted it the greatest kind of a success, g At Christ Church Mr. W. A. Gordon on Sat- urday impersonated Santa Claus, proving him tobe the most rollicking kind of a fellow. He was exceedingly generous too, every child re- ceiving something from the huge bag he car- ried. A WELL-ATTENDED RECEPTION, Last evening the Ancient Daughters of Ta- bitha.

The Eppendorf Hospital is treating thirty-eight cases of- cholera, of which eight are of an exceedingly virulent type. There was onedeath from cholera at the hos- pital yesterday. Without doubt the disease is making steady, although slow, progress. Gen- eral uncasiness prevails, especially in mer- cantile circles, which are still under the burdens of last fall's losses. Increase in the sick list and death list would mean within a few weeks that all opportunity of making good recent re- verses would be lost. The life insurance companies aro said to be already curtailing business. ———_+-2-____ Probably the Last of County Democracy.
