Pursuant to announcement, the Alumni

addressed the meeting at some length in a
very able and interesting speech.

President appointed a committee of four to
draft suitable Constitution and By-laws for

Fire ;in ; "BrookIyn-Tnre Balld
t?:r lng-s beairoyea1. yj1-.-.'. ' '
Last night, about 7 o'clock, the alarm of
fire was sounded, and was finally discovered
to be located on Fifth, between Taylor and
Nixon streets, in 'the section of the city
known as "Brooklyn." iThe fire was first
discovered bursting out of the south side or
end of the house owned by Mr. Wm. Cam
paign and occupied by a man by the name
of Williams, whose family had not moved
into it, he having lately came here from the
country' and they not having yet followed
him. ,,; We learn that Mr. Williams was not
present at the time, the house being closed
up, so no information could be gained as
to the origination of ther fire. The wind
was blowing quite strong at the time and
the house was soon enveloped in flames.
The house adjoining, owned by Mr. Chas.
Huffman and occupied by a man by tbe
name of Mason, soon caught,' there being
only a gateway between them, and it too
was speedily wrapped in the fiery mantle,
the flames speedily communjeating to tbe
next house South of it, owned and occupied
by Mr. Samuel-Scarborough.' All three of
the buildings were comparatively new, and,
fed by the strong current ef air, were soon
a mass of ruins. A small house just North
of the one in which the fire originated, own
ed and occupied by a colored woman named
Sophia Merrick, was badly damaged in the
effort to save it, all of the weather-boarding
being torn from the end next to the fire.
We learn that nothing was saved from the
house in which the fire Was first discovered,
hut that a portion of the furniture was re
moved from the other two buildings.
The various engines and the hook and
ladder company with their truck were
on the ground with their usual prompt
ness, but tbe former could render no assis
tance on account of the want of water.
Tbe book and ladder company, however,
did good service in leveling the.walls of the
burning building, fences, &c., and thus as
sisting in preventing the spread of the
flames. Showers of sparks and cinders
were carried by the wind to a considerable
distance, but persons on the roofs of the
various buildings in theic course prevented
damage in that direction.
The loss to the parties interested could
not be definitely ascertained, but will prob
ably ameunt to about $400 or $500 each.
The parties were all men of small means,
however, and it will consequently be severe
ly felt by them. Mr. Campaign's house,
we understand, was the only one insured. .
mastscrateik' Courts. .
Before Justice T. M. Gardner, yester
day:
The case of Officer Lewis Gordon, charged
with the illegal arrest, assault upon and false
imprisonment of Eliza Finch,-colored, came
up for a hearing, when the defendant sub
mitted and the case was dismissed on the
payment of costs. To give an understand
ing of this case we would state that a well
known fiddler by tbe name of Henry An
derson, who is working out a term of ser
vice as a convict on the streets, was wanted
by Eliza Finch, the complainant in this case,
to furnish the music for a dance at her
house. She went to tbe proper official and
got permission for Andersen to go en con
dition that she would become respensible
for bis costs in the City Court Time passed
on, and the money not being paid, Officer
Gordon was sent to arrest Eliza Finch for
the amount, which he did, whereupon she
sued out a warrant before Justice Gardner
against Officer Gordon en the Charges above
specified. The Magistrate held that, where
as, in the case ofAnderson the costs of the"
Court were the subject of a criminal actiba,
when the woman, Eliza Finch, became re
sponsible for the same, it became a matter
for civil procedure, and as a person cannot
be imprisoned for debt, the case in question
was clearly established as one ef illegal ar
rest, false imprisonment and assault, in the
eyes of the law. .

RAILROAD TO THE SOUND.
Mb. Editor: Lately I had occasion to
visit your city, where 1 arrived on a beau
tiful day in this present month -ef January.
I was invited to accompany a party of gen
tlemen to the sound, as they term it I had
often heard of the old-fashioned sound par
ties, and I Was eager to avail myself of the
invitation. I went and was wefrrepaid f or
my visit After a ride of one hour and aj
quarter, we came .in sight of -old ocean,
rising ia all its grandeur, dotted here and
there with some snowy-white ; sails, that
added much to the picture.
After we had imbibed a little (which I
understood is not an unusual practice with
the gentlemen that frequent the sound), we
sauntered to the lauding, when, . after hav?
ing built a fire, we ordered oysters for six,
and for fear of the shells remaining in our
craws, we thought it advisable to wash them
down, so our .black friend was passed
around and welcomed, with many, a gulp.
After a pleasant chat, my views were asked
respecting tbe scenery, &c I hardly know
what I said then, but I must say that I had
no idea you had so beautiful a place so near
Wilmington. - I learned it is a fine place
for bathing,, not exceeded on the coast
Some of the spots that I saw were beauti
ful. . -. ;. ' . .
I seeyou have the street cars in Wilming
ton, : 1 Why not' extend the track to the
sound? Do you ask mei it would be a prof
itable investment f I. answer, . most de
cidedly, fit would not only put money in
your podkets, and yield you a good divi
dend, but it would amply repay yovi in add
ing health and comfort to your citizens. Do
tbe street cars that run out of Savannah
pay ? Most assuredly they dot Do you
think there is a city North of us which, if
it had the advantages Wilmington possesses,
would not have long ere this bad a car run
ning to that point ? The distance is noth
ing, in comparison with other cities, where
citizens have a much longer route to travel,
to inhale the sea air. Reflect upon it, you
who have the street car interest at stake.
It would seem that money could not be in
vested in a better enterprise. . M j ;
It may be said with truth that there fi no
produce to be brought, from the sound.
Even so; if, it did not furnish one ounce of
freight,1 the travel would mest certainly pay
ali the year round. '- Little cottages would
spring up along the line of the road, where
the mechanics would rest free, from the
necessarily burdensome taxation of the city,
where health would smile benignly Upon
his better half and his way-checked respon
sibilities could snuff the pure country air,4
and where the noise and bustle of town life
would be a thing unheard of. In fact, it
would give vigor to your whole community,.
It is no experiment It la a perfect open
aud shut game. It has been tried elsewhere
with success. I would like to see the enter
prising citizens take .hold of it, and I am
convinced that there are many in the com
munity who think with me. I trust a "hint
