FIRE Ap) ACCIDENT.—This morning, about
half-past seven o'clock, a fire occurred in the
cotton, waste storehouse of F. Lodge, Jr. &
Co., No. 35 North Front street. The building
is a large one, extending through to Water
street, and belongs to the -estate of Thomas
Earp. It was but slightly damaged, , and the
loss is covered by insurance. The stock of
Lodge & Co. was considerably damaged by
water, in consequence of the flames having
worked their way among the bales of cotton
waste. Thtre is an insurance of $2,000 in the
Royal, upon the stock, which will more than
cover the loss. The fire originated accidentally,
and was caused by the strong northeast wind
blowing sparks and flames out of the stove while
a young woman was engaged in building a tire.
In the basethent of No. 36 Water street,
Messrs. Fitler, Weaver & Co., rope makers,
bad a quantity of Manilla• hemp stored. This
suffered somewhat by water. The loss is fully
-insured.
A collission between the. steamers of the
Washington and. Southwark Engine Companies
occurred at Third and Chestnut streets. The
former was- proceeding down Chestnut street
and the latter up Third street, and the collision
was unavoidable. The.driver of the Washing

the wheels passed over his hips. He was so
badly injured that his recovery is considered.
doubtful. The sufferer was conveyed to the
Pennsylvania Hospital.

a proper recognition. During the administra

High Constable, Acting Detective, was de
ailed for the investigation of the causes of fire.
At that time incendiansm was rampant in the
city. Though the labors of Mr: Blackburn
were considerably increased, without the
slightest advance of pay; he discharged his du
ties with great energy and perseverance, and.
pursued the incendiaries with an unrelentless
hand until now a fire caused by design is
scarcely heard of. Several efforts have been
made to establish the office of Fire Marshal,
and within a week or two the movements have
been. City. Councils promptly
passed a bill to that effect and the Mayor at once
appointed Mr. Blackburn to the position he has
so acceptably filled. The appointment was
unanimously conferred by Select Council on
Thursday last, without the formality of a
reference to a Committee, and after several
members had made a few remarks compli
mentary to Mr. Blackburn.

OURSEIWHOLE COUNTRY.
A WORD TO 'LADIES INTERESTED IN- TEE
GREAT CENTRAL FAIR. —NOW that very many of
the patriotic ladies of our city are interesting them
selves'in getting up a remunerative interest in the
great Central Fair, soon to take place in this city
for the 'benefit or the Sanitary Commission, or
rather the brave soldiers ior whose benefit this
praiseworthy organization is laboring, we deem it
proper to to state that we have an establishment
that has special claims to their patronage. We al.
lude to the popular house of Mr. John M. Finn,
-southeast corner. of Seventh and Arch streets,
whoseadvertisement will be found in another col
umn of our paper to-day. Mr. Finn, as will be
seen from his card, offers a splendid variety of ar
ticles suitable for the fair at reduced prices. In his
stuck will be found a magnificent assortment of
zephyrs, Shetland Wool, gilt braids, embroider
ing silk, canvas zephyr patterns, crochet cottons,
the popular Germantown Wool, woolen and Cash
mere yarn, gimps of every description, laces, ho
siery, dress trimmings, a superb assortment. of Snn
Umbrellas, travelling bags, perfumery, balmorale,
back alpacas, and a hundred other things of taste
and utility, all of which he is selling at low rates,
for the purpose above indicated.
In Sun Umbrellas, we may add, Mr. Finn offers--
a splendid assortment, embracing all the latest
styles, at moderate prices. His store at Seventh
and Arch is one of the most popular resorts for la
dies who have'shoppiag to do in Philadelphia; and
we would again remind ladies interested in the
Central Fair of this fact.

Many styles of goods we receive from abroad, and
"confine the styles," so they can only be had at
our establishment.
Attention is called to these VACTE:

those usually sold on the street, and the pnees are
as low and often LOWER than INFERIOR AR

,2d—We hale a full assortment of the DINER
QyaLtrtne of goods, and the prices range about ten
per cent lower than such goods are usually sold
at elsewhere.
sd—Our style of totting and 'workmanship is
acknowledged to be 'unsurpassed.

That we REALLY HATE the best stock of

Seßnco Coxracnoss.—At this season of the
year there is nothing more inviting and delis ous
to the appetite than a box of those rare confections
manufactured by Mr. Stephen F. Whitman, No.
1210 Market street. They are all that the taste of
the greatest epicure can desire, and, when these_
confections have once been used and the peculiar
pleasure imparted by them once experienced, no
higher gratification from saccharine preparations
can be expected, as they have no superior. They
can be had as above in any quantity and of all
desirable varieties and are alike preferable by the
wholesale dealer and those who purchase for their
family use.
To Tag DEAF.—Persons suffering from Deaf

THE GREAT IRISH NATIONAL Ram.
The great Irish National Fair, for which thei
Fenian Brotherhood have spent severalmontha
in making the necessary preparations, was for
opened at Chicago, on, Monday.'
The procession of the morning`broken up by
the rain was partially formed in the afternoon.
The Light Guhrd band visited the Fenian Hall
and brought down the members of the organi
zation to the Tremont House, where were in
waiting Lieut. Gov. Hoffman, the members of
the Polish Committee and several members of
the Common Council and Board of Editeation.
Carriages were in waiting which theY entered
and passed in procession around the principal
streets to the Court House Square where a
large crowd had already gathered., At 3 o'clock.
the Brotherhood marched along the square.
to the South entrance, where the assemblage
was addressed at length by Lieutenant Governor
Hoffman.
After listening to a speech from Hon. Jobs
'Wentworth the assembly retired to a substan
tial repast provided for the occasion.
Ample justice having been done to the
viands, the Chairman, P. T. Sherlock, an
nounced as the first and only regular toast=
“The d land we live in."
.The band now played the Marsellaise ' after
which the Chairman announced the volunteer
toast—cg The President of the 'United States, in.
his past and present, a fit illustration of Ameri
can institutions."
It was responded to by Judge Van Buren,
who indorsed fully the idea that in 31r. Lincoln's
career we had one of the very best illustrations
of the' excellence of 'our institutions. He would
pay not a compliment, but a just tribute to,the
valor and patriotism of the foreign element,
who had done much to aid the Government in
suppressing the rebellion, for wliich no one
ventured to claim there was any excuse.
Bryan Hall, in which the fair was held, wag
decorated with numerous flags - and banners.
At equidistantipoints around the gallery were
neatly ornamented brackets bearing busts of
Lincoln, Douglas, Webster and Scott.
In the centre of the Hall was an hexagonal
tower, having a tall flagstaff running'through
the centre. From this staff ran two wires, one
to the gallery, the other to the stage, on which,
were hung a large number of American and
Irish flags. At the base of the tower were six
tables devoted to good, from Si.Lonis; Boston,
Washington, Troy,moi l ork and Canada. -
Among the various conributions were a full
length portrait of Pope Pius IX, a model'of
Cashel Rock, carved in slate and painted, both
from Philadelphia; a gold-mounted repeating
rifle from the Irish Brigade,
,and a large safe
from Herring & Co.
THE ATTACK ON PADIWAR.
A despatch from the correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says: I was in Paducah yes
terday, and while there gathered some interest
ing incidents of the rebel raid on that city. The
press desjoatches do not give a correct state
ment ofjhe force. In the fort there were
about two hundred and fifty. recruits for st -
United States colored regiment, a portion of
the 16th Kentucky cavalry, - without arms,
and two companies of the 122 d Illinois
infantry, in all about five hundred
men. It was the negro- regulars
that fought so well. 'They handled the artillery
with great skill and their bravery is on -the
tongues of alrthe loyal men. One 'of the regi
ments in the attack on the fort was the 3d
Kentucky, Col. Thompson, who commanded a
brigade. This regiment was raised in Paducah,
three years ago, by Col. Tilghman, afterwards
Brigadier-General, and Col. Thompson, who
was at the time prosecuting attorney for the
_Paducah circuit. Col. Thompson was a man of
greal influence, and did more than any one else
in recruiting the-regiment from that chivalry.
This was its first visit home. Before the at
tack was made threats were freely made in the
streets that they would capture the fort and kill
every nigger-in it.
In theattatk, this regiment was in the ad
vance and suffered the most. Col. Thompson
was literally torn in pieces .by'a shot from a
siege gun handled by colored men. These
colored men were native Kentuckians; and
seven of them have offered up their lives for
their country.
THE HORRORS OF Luiv.--Capt. E. A. Mass,
of the BSth Pennsylvania regiment, writes as
follows to the Reading Times
Independent of - starvation we have been
subjected to all , common indignities. The
windows of the prison are barred with iron so'
close together that a man can not possibly get
his heal out, and yet the guard is instructed to
fire on all officers looking out at the windows.
I On Sunday last Lieut. Morgan - Kupp made a
very narrow escape of his life. The guard
fired at an officer standing near one of the
windows, and a buckshot entered the lower
part of the cheek of Kupp,..passed up just
under the kin and out at the forehead. The
ball struck.one of the iron bars, and fine slivers
cut his face is as many places. Fortunately it
hurt him but very little. A week ago Lieut.
Hammond was shot through the ear. Every
trace boat takes to Richmond from twenty to
forty tons of boxes for our prisoners, and yet
but about seventy boxes have been delivered
in the past three months, and these have had
all the sugar and coffee stolen out, and had
been kept on hand so long that what was left
in boxes was coated with an inch of mould,
and consequently everything spoiled. One
box belonging to Lieut. Frank Moran, 73d N.
Y. V., actually contained nothing but a tis
plate and fork, and yet they had the audacity
to compel him, to sign a receipt that his box
bad been delivered. A large warehouse oppo
site the Libby contains to-day at least twelve
hundred, boxes that are being robbed daily,
and what the rebs do not want may be de
livered when all is spoiled. On the 9th of
February 110 officers made their escape from
prison; fifty were recaptured, among whom was
Capt. E. L. Smith, 19th U. S. I.; he was out
seven days, and suffered very much from cold
and hunger, was confined ten days in a dungeoa
on hi return, but is well and in good spirits. •
Axes.—An axe factory in lilassachusetf,
uses twelve htuadvid tons of iron a year, about
one-half of which is imported, and two hun
dred and fifty tons of cast steel, much of which
is procured from tho works at Fitchburg. Its
forges consume eighteen hundred tons of cote
a year.
