Prize Fighters in Town. Laflin aud Daly, the celebrated borers and ex-prize fighters, are in the city. They applied to the Mayor for permission .to ci an atM. bition here to-night, but were informed by his no'ior that it was against the law, and if cney attempted it they would be fined $500 and imprisoned. They leave this evening for the Newborn Pair. Daly is an old time celebrity who travelled with Sullivan on many sparring tours.. A llemarkable Instrument. There is a negro man who lives near Mr. Hector Smith's place in Little River Town ship who.makes horns out of lightwood knots. We caw this morning one of the-e unique in struments. It is made of a short-leaf pine knot, hollowed out in the shape of a cow's horn, and is thirteen inches long and five inches in diameter. A remarkably fine tone can be gotten out of it The darkey can play all sorts of pieces upon it, from Yankee Doodle to Home Sweet Home, and he plays them well, too. It beats the old fox horn all to hollow, and can be heard several miles. Iire Stock ? Township Constable Maultsby went out in the country yesterday, to serve claim and de livery papers on Rob't Kelly to satisfy a judg ment of ten dollars. He seized upon a sewing machine, a horse, several pigs and some chick ens, one after another. The sewing machine he found belonged to some else; the horse was not in a condition to be made to walk to town; the pigs well it would not require the cathode rays to see through them so the chickens were the only live things left. . Fortunately, just as he was having tho horse, pigs and chickens placed in a wagon to be carted to town, a neighbor came forward and satisfied the judgment. Fire on Dajnaonnt. ' The fire alarm was sounded from the Market House at 12:45 this afternoon but before the location of the fire' was known, word reached the city that the residence of Mr. Weldon Huske, on Haymount, was in ashes. As soon as the fire started, a boy ran all the way, a distance of a mile and a half, to give the alarm. A large number of people in buggies and on horse back, hurried to the scene of the conflagra tion, but were too late to render any as- sistance. The fire originated on the roof and was discovered by a man who was discharging a load of wood in the yard- He discovered the flames on the roof near one of the chimneys and alarmed the fami ly who were at dinner. Mr. Huske hur riedly placed a ladder against the house and calling for water, climbed to the top. Before the first bucket reached him, how ever, the roof commenced tafall in, and he had to give up the fight. Meantime the servants with the help of several neigh bors had removed all the furniture. Although the house was fully covered by the insurance, ; $2,500, yet its many pleasant memories make it a sad loss not only to its owner and family but to thoir many friends who have enjoyed its-hospi tality. .
