Yesterday morning Werner Krenz

partner in the late firm of A. Hoevler 4it
Co, glue manufacturers, having an estab
lishment in the Eighth ward, Allegheny,
and which partnership was dissolved by
the death of Mr. Hoevler a short time ago.
Since, then Krenzkamp has assumed
management of the, establishment and
concluded it in his own name. A day or
two since O'Leary and Wm. Hoevler, by
order of the executors of the decbased
partner, came to take possession of the
PremiSes, when, as they allege, Kreuz
'karnp attacked and drove thorn away,
hence', the information. The accused
gave bail tor his appearance at Court.
Incendiary Fire
Abo t half-past twelve o'clock this
morniUg a fire was discovered in the

The 'flames were first discovered issu
ing frdm the windows of, the basement
story, ,in which was stored a large.quan-,
tity of straw used for packing glass.
The straw was all consumed, and the
greater portion of the floor of the first
story
I,, was burned. There was a large
strum tof glass in the building, but It
was stored in a portion of< the house to
which the fire did not extend, and con
sequently was not injured.
The fire was evidently the work of.an
incendiary, as is certilinlv originated in
the straw in 'the basement, and there
bad been no fire in any part of the build
ing this winter.

Central Office from box 42, and the fire
department was prompt in rewinding

The Methodist Book. Depository.
The new and handsome building erect
ed at the corner of Smithfield street and
Virgin alley, by the Methodist Episeopal
denomination.of this vicinity, is an ele
gant architectural ornament - to the city,
and alike creditable to the enterprise
and liberality of its builders. It is de
signed especially for the use of the Book
Depository and the Pittsburgh Christian
Advocate office, although there are sev
eral eligibly located rooms, which may
be used for other purposes. A few days
since the B3ok Depository was removed
to the new quarters, in the lower floor of
the building, which had been fitted up
in a neat and perfect manner for the
purpose.
We dropped -into the establishment a
day or two since, and made a hasty ex
, amination of the premises. The lower
or basement floor is occupied as a whole
' sale department, and is well stocked
with a choice and carefully selected as
sortment
of volumes suitable to the I
trade. The upper room is devoted to the
retail business, and in point of, size and
elegance in fitting up, is equal, and In
many respects superior, to any similar
apartment in the city. We found upon
the shelves a large and varied array
of volumes upon almost every conceiva
ble subject in the fields of Theology, Sci
ence, Philosophy and Belles Lettres, the
idea seeming to be not to keep on hand
works of a theological character Slone,
but in addition the production of sten
darcLauthors in every department of lit
erature., The fancy stock of articles also
iAhibitesl, such as pocket books, dia
ries, stationery of all kinds, etc., etc.,
was quite large and attractive, contain
ing everything needful of the kind. In
fact, there seemed to be nothing wanting
in the Yin° of goods usually kept in a first
class book-store. The agent of the Deposi
torv,Rev.Joseph 'Horner, find his corps of
able and polite assistants; are very atten
tive and obliging to customers, and we
would advise our readers in want of arti
oles kept -on sale there to call at the
Depository and make an examination of
the stock before purchasing elsewhere.

the Chairman, the members dined. •

The Union Charity Fair in the base
ment of St. Paul's Cathedral last night,
was largely attended and everybody ex
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the visit. Never before in this city has a
fair room been more elegAntly adorned
and decorated, and for the magnificent
floral ornamentations much credit is
due to Messrs. Charles Abel and John C.
Dodge, who , have displayed a taste which
would do credit to our best horticulurists.
The Floral Pagoda is a very fine speci
men of art, and a sight of it - is worthy
double the price of admission. The
curiosity shops, printing office, ru
ral garden andi telegraph • depart
ments are features which must ren
der the Fair very' attractive to the
visitor. The Spirit of the Pair, a spicy
little journal, is published each evening
in the hall, and IS conducted by a num
ber of the members of the Pittsburgh
pressclub, who have kindly , volunteered
their services. As the occasion is for the'
benefit of the poor and distressed, the
sick and the suffering of the community,
we trust the charilable will second the'
efforts of the ladies and gentlemen en- 1
gaged and favor the fair with their pros.
once. An excellent brass band is in at
tendance each evening, and an °shall-
I Lion of the velocipede is on the pro
gramme each night.

UNWRITTEN HISTORY OF THE
WAR
Gen. litiassun., formerly upon General
Grant's staff, and 'a Democrat in politics,
relates the following : ' ,
"Grant developed wonderfully -in the
war, and though I, as a Democrat, op
posed la's election, I had no' doubt that
he was the safe, strongest man, worthi
est to head the army. There is needed
no better instance or proof M this effect
than the following : I was at City Point
in 1865, and sitting close by Grant I saw
him break the seal of a letter. Then ,he
good-naturedly.
"'What's that General Grant ?"
64 'A letter from Sherman. Read it !"
'Tread the letter and it said that Sher
nuln could ne longer held Atlanta, his
liiie being too long. Be asked permis
sion to destroy the town and move to the
sea, subsisting upon the country and
turning at bay to tight Flood whenever
the latter pursued him too closely. All
this seemed soldierly to me, and I
asked Grant what in it made him laugh.
"'Why,' he said, was wondering
what flood could find to subsist upon if
he followed in the reer of Sherman.'
"Thus was the General supplying an
error of genius. Sherman supposed that
Hood would follow him. Grant knew
that Hood could not eat off the barren
and devastated country. So be sent this
word to Sherman : 'You have my per
mission to destroy Atlanta and go to the
sea after you detach Scofield and to
go to Tennessee. Hood will not follow
you; he will march upon Nashville.'
Now, see! Had Sherman carried off his
whole force seaward, mistaking the ef
fect of his movement upon Hood, Nash- I
villa would have fallen, Indiana and
Ohio been invaded, and the Southern
Confederacy been an accomplished fact."
"Grant," said Hillyer, "is stern as Ju
piton There is no other story 'of two
sterner men than Grant and George H.
Thomas before the battle of Nashville.
Thomas had a dislike of being whipped,
and he is cautious and sedate to the last
dpgree till the time for decision has
come. Grant sent word to Thomas to
move out of his works to attack Hood.
Thomas was not ready, and be went on
deliberately with his preparations.
Grant telegraphed again: 'The country
is excited. Attack I' Thomas was not
yet quite ready. Then Grant sent John
A. Logan to Louisville to. be ready to
take command and telegraphed again:
'lf you do not attack Hood. before
I date, I shall be under the painful neces
(sity of relieving you.' Just at that time
Thomas was ready, not bynecessity, but
by the - completion of his aflitirs, and the
happy collusion of events made the bat
tle of Nashville an honor to both."
FACETLE.
"THERE NOR," said a little girl, while
(rummaging a drawer in a bureau, "grand
pa has . gone to Heaven Without his spec
tacles."

A MOTHER reproved her three-year
oldsthr for eating icicles. The analytical
infant replied : "I didn't eat 'em, mam
ma; I only sucked the juice out of 'em."
' SINGULAR CASE OH ASSAULT.—At a,
Spiritual seance held recently one, of the (
persons present so far forgot himself as to
strike the "happy medium." Proceed
ings will ensue:
AN IRISHMAN, on hearing of a friend
having a stone coma made for himself,
exclaimed, "By me sowl, and that's a
great idea. Sure 'an a stone coffin 'ud
last a man a life-time."
A TIIREE-TEAR old youngster saw a
a drunken man "tacking" through the
street. "Mother," said, he, "did God
make that man?" She replied in the
affirmative. Tha little feliow reflected for
a moment, and then exclaimed: "I
wouldn't have done it."
