Corrv, brought *25,000 Kcnnebeek Salmon to
this place yesterday them in the

experiment which he fears will not be suc
cessful as the Salmon naturally gravitate
toward salt water, but some of them may re
turn. The fish put in here were very small,
being only one month old.
T. E. QUICK, a highly esteemed citizen of

health for some years. He left a wife and
several children to mourn his departure from
this world. He was about forty years of age
The Railroad meeting on Wednesday after
noon was not largely attended but a deep in
terest was manifested in the enterprise by
those present. The subject was quite fully
discussed and it was plainly demodstrated
that the construction of tn<; Bradford railroad
is only a question of time, and that when
built it will shorten the distance by rail be
tween Boston and St. Louis more than sixty
miles. JAMES MACFARI.ANIC, Esq., Col. J.
F. MEANS. Hon. JOS. POWELL, Judge BENT
LY, N. N. BETTS and President MADDEN
were constituted a committee to bring the en
terprise to the attention of railroad men and
capitalists.
JOSH the king gipsy and one of his young
men had a quarrel yesterday growing out
of a horse trade. As they rode through Main
street in a buggy the contention waxed so
hot that they came to blows and literally "fell
out by the war." Offieer MOFFIT spoiled
their fun by marching them both off to the
'•cooler," from whence they were taken be
fore Police Justice CODDING and fined. They
paid ihe bill, but JOSH thinking tiie young
man had not been sufficiently chastised, pro
ceeded to complete the job; whereupon the
young man returned to the justice's office and
procured a warrant for his Chief. JOSH spent
flic night in jail and is undoubtedly a soberer
if not a wiser man this morning. It is hard
ly necessary to add, both were drunk, hence
the trouble.
FlßE.—About 4 o'clock this morning the
residence of CIIAS. T. M'IVINNEY, on Third
street, between Chestnut and Houston sts.,
took fire and was entirely consumed. The
alarm was not given down town for some
time and it was nearly an hour before any
firemen made their appearance. Ilose was
attached to the hydrant corner York avenue
and Houston st.. and a powerful stream of
water thrown, but it was too late to accom
plish any good, except perhaps to aid in sa
ving the adjacent buildings. The explosion
of a kerosene lamp in the kitchen caused the
conflagration. Most of the furniture was re
moved. We learu that there was an insur
ance nearly sufficient to cover the loss. Mr.
MCK. is a hard-working industrious man and
will have the sympathy of the community in
his great misfortune.
