About daylight on Saturday morning last a negro man was discov ered in the garden of Mr. Greer, on 7th street. A son of Mr. Greer hailed him as to his business, and getting no reply he fired two shots at him from a double-barrelled shot gun charged with bird shot, the first of which caused him to fall to the ground and leave his bag. ' At the second he made a grand charge over the wall, leaving his tracks in the soft earth that will likely re main for time to come. This fellow was evi dently after stealing cabbage, by his being pre pared with a. bag. There are a great many such thieves about the city, and if tieated in a like manner will discontinue their raids in a short time. The bag is at the call of this fellow, and will be filled with cabbage if he; wishes it, jbut ho had better not go to Mr. Greer's at that hour agtia on such a visit. . u s my , ; : The National Bank.

Part of the roof fell in five mirutes later, and the neighboring buil dings on Ajun-street were attacked. Tne firemen rallied in great force, bat the flames were fanned by a strong breeze which swept them over the ? roofs of- the adjoining buildings on Broadway, and in a few minutea tbe fire had gained a hold in the three upper stories of.
