FIRE AT THE PENITENTIARY - Yesterday afternoon a fire occurred in a drying
shop at the Penitentiary, which came near being a serious one. It appears
that a large quantity of small pieces of wood was stored in this building
for the purpose of being dried. This was done by means of steam pipes, which
run through the building and which were covered by those small pieces of
wood, in consequence of those pipes becoming overheated, and this wood
becoming exceedingly dry, the fire ignited. It was found on removing the
wood that all which was in close contact to the pipes was charred and burned
like charcoal. From the time the fire was discovered until the steam engines
arrived, steam was allowed to escape into the building, which had a salutary
effect so far as to prevent the fire from spreading. The means of obtaining
water at the Penitentiary are rather meagre. The only reservoir there is
small, and one engine exhausted the quantity of water which it contained in
a very short time. In case a fire should gain any headway, the buildings
would be wholly at the mercy of the flames. This is rather a bad state of
things under the circumstances.
The fire yesterday did not cause a great deal of
damage. A hole was burned in the roof of the building, and that together
with the damage by water will probably not exceed $50. The Fire Department
got up to the Penitentiary as soon as possible. The Mayor, Chief of Police,
and several of the force, beside many citizens were early on the ground.

A COAT THIEF IN LIMBO - A fellow who gave his name as William IRVING, was
yesterday arrested for stealing two coats. IRVING called at a clothing store
on State st. and offered one of the coats for sale, asking only four dollars
as the price. The coat being worth at least $30, the suspicious of the
storekeeper were aroused and he notified the police of the matter. Officer
YOST was despatched in search of the individual and soon had him in custody
and locked up. Shortly afterwards Mr. J. L. LUCKY made a complaint that his
coat had been stolen, and he identified one of the garments in possession of
the police as his property. The other garment was a spring overcoat
purchased only a few days since by Wm. L. WALLACE, one of the editorial
corps of the Democrat. The coat was stolen from his room during his absence
at dinner yesterday. The man who can enter an editor's sanctum and steal
from his meagre wardrobe must be utterly demoralized. (didn't get the rest)

Poor of this county. For some years past he has been engaged in business as
a lumber dealer on New Main street. He was the father of the late Wm. H.
ROBINSON, School Commissioner of the Fourteenth Ward, whose death a few
months since was so much lamented.

A YOUNG LADY KILLED - The Watkins "Independent" has the following.
On Tuesday last, Miss LOCKERBY was accidentally shot by a young son of Jacob FITZGERALD, late County Treasurer,
in the town of Cayuta. It appears that Miss LOCKERBY, daughter of widow LOCKERBY, who had been employed for some
time past in the family of Mr. FITZGERALD, was up stairs on Tuesday last, and while making up the bed, a little
son of Mr. FITZGERALD, seven or eight years of age, came into the room, and observing a gun standing in one corner,
took it up, and not thinking it was loaded, commenced playing with it, and while doing so, it accidentally went
off, and the whole charge went into the side of the unfortunate young lady, causing her instant death. The discharge
of the gun set the bed on fire, and the little boy ran down stairs and told his mother. Mrs. FITZGERALD immediately
ran up when she discovered, to her horror, Miss LOCKERBY prostrate on the floor, a corpse.

HEARD FROM - John B. GARRISON, the rascally foreman of Chapin's mill, who absconded in the summer of 1865, after
having embezzled some $2,000 worth of money and property belonging to his employer, has been heard from. For about
a year and a half, and until a short time since, he has been located at Lawrence, Kansas, as agent at that point
of the Pacific Railroad.
A young man named CURTIS, formerly a clerk in McKindley & Pollock's hardware store, but now a resident of St.
Louis, saw and recognized GARRISON at Lawrence, but the latter denied his identity. He was passing by the name
of J. G. PARKER. Mr. CURTIS held some conversation with him, and the result was that the rogue became alarmed,
and in the course of a few days disappeared, greatly to the surprise of the people of Lawrence, among whom he was
held in high esteem. His wife, who was with him, still remains at that place, but all trace of him is lost, for
the present. It is unfortunate that Mr. CURTIS did not apprize Mr. CHAPIN of GARRISON's whereabouts at once. If
he had done so the fugitive would have been in the clutches of the law at this time.
It is said that the young girl from Syracuse, with whom GARRISON is supposed to have contracted an illicit connection
before his departure from this city, has become a professional wanton, and was, some months since, an inmate of
a house of ill-fame in Rochester.
