The sight of a prostrate female form lyn ing right athwart the entrance to Messrs Graves and Fleming's establishment at the corner of Cuba and Manners-street yeßterday oaused Borne considerable oxcitement for a time in that vicinity. A orowd quickly gathered round the 1 recumbent fair one, and a Christian community, as "is. iij ..wont,' had but one explanation handy for the episode. "Disgraoeful," said a Jtout -middle-aged female of rubin ound visage, ''positively disgraceful at this hour of the day I T iike's a drop o' night's myself, but this ere's scandalaoiouß I" "Ah 1 poor thing 1 poor thing I" said a benevolent old party with a blue ribbon in his button hole, '•■ the drink again I Perhaps Bhe's got no mother."

" Here s the bobby" shouted out a small boy, and elbowin? his way through the throng came a stalwart limb of the law, "What's all this now I Move on and olare the thoroughfare, will yez.

Then with a vigorous hoist the constable set that exquisitively dressed' milliner'* dummy, which the wind had blown over, on its pedestal once more, and retired to relieve his feelings .further down the street, where strong language could be indulged in with safety.-fWellingfon Evening Preßs. m W?UB' "80DOH OH 00BN8."-Ask for Wells'",Kougb.on Corns," Quiok- re. ■ lief, complete, permweni oure, - Oorni wuti, buiwai.

A general turn out was the result when it was discovered' that the site of the conflagration was an unooupied four room cottage and stable, the property of Mr Robert Crawford, blaoksmlth, &o. Most fortunately at the time there was hardly the fainteßt breath of wind, or the resnlt, would have been more disastrous. As it was the flames oonfined themselves to the spot where they first broke out and soon burnt out. Had there been muoh wind nothing could have saved the surrounding houses, As Caterton enjoys the unique position of being the possessor of a fire bell with the rope broken, a fire engine without house and minus a brigade perhaps a better state of things may arise from the ashes of the late fire.
