The Vine Street Presbyterian Church was crowed, last night, with members of the different churches of the city, and the meeting was marked with much earnestness and interest. The service to-night will be held in the Biptist Church, corner of Third and Cherry Streets. Rejuvenated. We met J udge Parrett, yesterday and scarcely recognized him. lie looks at liast 20 years younger than when we last saw hira. Ilia head, which then was partly bald and his hair which was tinged with gray, is now covered with raven locks curling as gracefully as a school girl's. We congratulate him on his improved appearance. Before Justice Walker. ' James Newman, accused some days ago of malicious trespass by cutting a fence in Lamasco, put in his appearance at Walker's yesterday and pleaded guilty. He was fined $1 with $3 50 cost, which was secured. It is presumed that he will hereafter have greater respect for other people's property. Court of Common Pleas. The whole day yesterday was occupied in the Court of Common Pleas, by ar gument of counsel in the case of Cdandler vs. Hart. Colonel Shackelford was speaking at 4 o'clock yester day evening. Igleheart and Denby had previously spoken, and Buchanan was to close. The case was probably submitted to the jury late last night Whether a verdict will be reached this year or not is uncertain. Clothes-Line Robbery. Some bold sneak thief visited the front yard of Mr. II. E. Read as early as 7 o'clock or earlier, and robbed the clothes line of a large lot of cbthing, including some of Mrs. Read's fiaest and most valuable underclothing, besides skirts, pillow-cases, towels, &c. It seems astonishing that any one could be so bold as to venture into the front yard of a building on a public street, and at an hour when many people are passing. It is to be hoped that the thiet may be detected and brought to justice. A Delightful AFFAia.-The Board of Underwriters of this city, held their annual reunion last night, and had a grand supper at the Opera Sa loon on .Locust tstreet. it was a pleasant affair, and everything passed off in the most satisfactory manner. The supper was worthy the occasion, and we regret that sudden illness in our family prevented us from accept ing their kind invitation to participate in the festivities. Hope we shall have better luck next time, gentlemen. Recorder's Court. There was but a single cae before the Recorder yes terday. Fred. Young filed a com plaint against Mary Latzrich with maintaining a nuisance, by depositing "filth and excrescence," a3 the affida vit had it, by his door and on his win dow sills. The evidence was conclusive; indeed the accused pleaded guilty, and manifested neither shame nor regret at her conduct. The Recorder, after reading her an earnest moral lecture on the turpitude of her conduct, fined her 1, with $6 30 costs. She was not prepared to pay and manifested considerable malevolence, but finally agreed to pay this afternoon. The prosecuting witness said that he had warned her to quit annoying him but she came and cursed him for all she knew, and said she did not care for all he said she let it "in come at one ear and out go at tother." A pair or two of cats were mentioned in connection with the case, but the relation they bore to the case can not well be explained in a daily paper.

An Exciting Scne Provip&n-

f al Preservation. A terntia excUeixicnt was produced in (be city at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, by the glirrn nf tho fire hells and the an.1

nouncement that the upper 8cnooMo uu., 6iau w m.. building was on fire. This is a largo tion, and do it with great pleasure, double building three stories high, It was a simple mistake in the person, containing six largo school-rooms and as the box containing the remains

as many recitation-rooms. The build- ,,, ft sincle front entrance to each side, the stairs standing back to back. Keneath the iirst flight of stairs, on the southeast side, a large nnrjnfifr nf sTiavintrs and Vindlinc had been placed for the convenience of tne janitor in oniiuin nres. j.u mis ., - -t y 'it- f. t .1.: . I inle beneatli the jtens the fire origi nated, but how has not been ascertained. There were at the time, in the six rooms, probably 600 children, and the first alarm of fire produced the greatest terror among them. In some of the rooms they rushed to the doors, which, contrary to all the principles of common sense, open inwarao in such crowds that the doors could not be opened, and it was only by the de termined efforts of the several teachers that the door3 were finally opened and a stampede that must have re sulted fatally to some and with injury to many, was averted. Bv the coolness and care of the teachers, the crowding of the children was restrained, and all were passed out safely; many of them, however, almost dead with terror, leaving their books and ; clothing behind. Some rushed madly ; down the stairs that were on fire the blaze beginning to find its way through while others were- passed through the partition door and made their exit by the other stairs. As soon as the fire was dis covered parties hastened with buckets of water and checked the kindling flames. The engines were soon on the ground, and the fire extinguished with but ' little damage to the building. Subsequently, the books and clothing of the children were recovered from the buildiDg and restored, generally, to the owners. Many of the ehildren wer so terrified that TnT ..m 1 r. ,vt n KarAriAariarl find with1t .nrl KhwU Rnm of ;-aS-.f WnnuiF not even the alarm. " ' . The announcement that the school building was on fire ereated the greatest consternation in the ' city, and thousands of persons rushed wildly to the scene of the fire.: Parents wrung their hands in terror and anxiety for the fate of their children, and even when it was understood that ali were safe, many countenances were pule with terror at the conception of the terrible fate that had menaced their loved ones. It is indeed providential that all escaped without injury, amid the terror and exeitement that prevailed. This circumstance should teach two lessons at least one the folly of making the closet beneath the stairway of a public "butlffing a receptacle for combustible material, and the other the wisdom and necessity 'of providing more than one source of egress from a three story publie building, ilow the fire thus communicated to the shavings i3 a mystery that will probably never in this world be known. Railroad Meeting. An important railroad meeting was held in the Council Chamber last night, composed of a few citizens of this city, and dome ten or fifteen of the most prominent citizens of Boonville and other portions of Warrick County. On motion of Mayor Walker, Councilman John A. Reitz. was. made Chairman, and Dr. Ralston appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting was explained to be the building of a railroad from Evansville to Boonville. Sereral of the Warrick delegation made brief speeches, showin? tho necessity of such a road, and the anxiety of the people of Warrick County to give liberally for its construction. Several of our own citizens responded in brief speeches, manifesting much in terest in the enterprise. ' The- following gentlemen of this city were appointed to meet and confer with the citizens of Warrick Coun ty, in a publie meeting to be held in Boonville on Saturday next, the 16th instant: Messrs. John A. Haney, Geo. P. Hudspeth, Herman Fendrich, C. C. Genung, Jas. Sanders; and all others who may feel an interest in the enterprise are cordially invited on the part of the Wafrick County delegation, to be present and participate in the meeting. Much interest is manifested in the enterprise, and the meeting adjourned with tho understanding that another public meeting would be held in this city soon after the one at Boonville of next Saturday. Personal. The city was full of strangers yesterday, amon? who we noted the following: . Dr. A. Lewis. of Princeton; S. J. Biagham, of Pataka; Jas. A. Hill, Gen. Freight Agent of the O. & M. R. It.; Capt. D. G. Fowler, of Cincinnati; John Ingle, sen.. Ingles Station, who will be 80 voor old on the 15th of March and who is hale and hearty as most men at6Q:Col. J. F.

looking favorable in that State, and perished in the flames. He and Nithe country quiet. Col. A. Spray, of cholas Spitts, who were stopping at Curdsville; Capt. Dan. Clark, of Gol- the house over night, were sleeping in

t,nn(la Mistake in the Person It will be remembered that a few days ago we made the announcement, on what we deemed the very highest authority, that Col. Loomis, of the famous Loomis Battery, had diedjsomewhere in the South, and -that his remains had been brought to this city by the steamer F. W.btrader, and.torwarded North for interment. Postmaster Whittlesey has handed us a letter, dated Cold Water, Michi gan, January Gth, 1869, signed by O. Loomis, late Colonel Michigan

Light Artiliry, asking ifcat the stater ment might be oorrected and assuring us that he is not only not dead, but that he wa never in better health or had fairer prospects of a long life. We

A Sharp Contest in tte Marchants', and the Old Board Defeated., First National. The annual election of Directors for this Bank, aa ronnJrorl Vnr trip no.t of HnnffrefiS. tQok pIaca yesterday. There being no opposition, the old' Board was reelected, with thS exception of Gillison Maghee, removed from 'the city, and Cyprian Preston, who declined a re-election. The gentlemen chosen in their places were Thoma9 E. Gar vin and S. E. Gilbert. The Board of Directors as now constituted is as follows: John S. Hopkins, Robert T3arne3t Charles Viele, F. W. Sawyer, M. J. Bray, Alvah Johnson, John Ingle", Jr., Thomas E. Garvin and S E. Gilbert. Tho new Board holds its first meeting to-morrow night, and will doubtless re-elect the present officers, who have managed the affairs of the Bank with so much prudence and success the past year Merchants' National. There have been indications for some time past that the election of Directors for this Bank would occasion a warm contest. A difference of opinion or interest, existing among the stock holders for two years past, culminated in the creation of two distinct parties, which have been preparing quietly, but vigorously, for a contest for the control of its affairs at the annual election. Owing to this influence the stock of the Bank has been sold within the past two weeks at unpreeedent d,and, uoder oiQer circumstances unwarranted prices, some of it hav ing passed hands at prices as high as lDu. a torn the intimations in the Courier of yesterday, apparently semi-official, it would naturally have been inferred that the late President and old Board had conceded the success of the " outs, and would mike no contest. But this morning the forces were compactly marshalled on both sides, and there was apparent a disposition on the part of the "ins" to maintain their as cendancy, if possible. " His Honor, Mayor Y alter, who has been a customer in this bank during, the past few months to the extent of about $100,000 discounts at a liberal bank rate, led the fight for the. old Board and voted nearly all tho stock of the " ins " by proxies. O. R. Bement Esq., cast the greater portion of the " outs" in the same manner. The two tickets were as follows: Richard Ra leigh, W. J. Dallam, - Isaac Keen, F P. Carson. John A. Reitz, J. n. Mor gan, T.J. Hollingsworth, J. G.VenQe man and J. J. DeBruler, representing the old Board and opposing them C. R. Bement, Matt. Henning, John J. Chandler, J. II. Morgan, Peter Semonin, J. Aug. Lemcke, A. Marconnier, W. II. P. Stoddard, and Win. G. Brown. The election resulted in the defeat of the old Board, the average vote being 1,575 against 1,775. John II. Morgan received the vote of all the stock voted, and Thomas J. Hollingsworth was; by a special arrangement, elected in place of W. G. T- 1 ill Urown. iwery stocKnoiaer votea Dy proxy or in person, but one, and he declined to exercise his privilege, At a meeting of the new Board, last night, C. R. Bement, Esq., was elected President of the bank, and tho selection of the other officers was deferred till another meeting. The Evansville National Bank. There was a unanimous vote for Directors in this bank, and the old Board was re-elected, except that Mr. Dunkerson was chosen to fill a vacancy. The Board is as follows: George W. Rathbone. Samuel Bayard, Samuel Orr, DavidJ. Mackey, Mat thew Dalzell, Wm. IIeilman Samuel M.Archer, George R. Preston, and Robert K. Dunkerson. At an evening meeting of the Board, the old officers were re-elected: Geo W. Rathbone, President ; Samuel Bayard, Vice President; John 'G. Kennedy, Cashier. The bank tmters upon the new year in a prosperous condition, and, under the manngement of these old and ex perienced financiers, will doubtless prove profitable and satisfactory to the stockholders. ' Fire and Loss of Life in Tennes see. From Capt. J. L. Davy of the Lewellin, we learn particulars of a shocking casualty which occurred in Saltillo, Tenn., on the night of Tuesday January oth The residence of Mr. James M. Hooks, with all its contents, were de stroyed by fire, and Mr. Joseph Clarke, of McNairy. County, Tenn., the same room. When Mr. Hooks was aroused by the fire he at once awakened them, but they seemed not to comprehend the state of affairs, until their exit by the stairs was cut off. Spitts leaped from the second story window and saved his . life, but he was seriously injured and has been conhned to his bed ever since ciarte'd 8hrieks were heard for some 8econd8 after Spitts leaped from the window, but was never Been after wards.

The Philharmonic Society. Perhaps many of our citizens are unaware of the existence in our city

of a Philharmonic Society," having are highly recommended and prefor its object the cultivation of the scribed by Physicians and Surgeons

voice, and to bring vocal music to its proper elevation among our people. JiiVansvule is iar behind our .sister cities in vocal accomplishment, but not - in musical talent.' I hero are hundreds in this" city with ex traordinary fine voices, whd live on from year to year, not knowing that God has blessed thew with a voice full of the richest of melody. This state of things must and will continue so long as people neglect or refuse to give aid and encouragement to a Society, which, if properly managed, wiil be the pride of our qitizens. I had the pleasure, eome days aeo, of attending a rehearsal of the ' Philharmonic Society," and lean assure vour readers: that this Society bid3 fair to rival the Philharmonics of other ' cities. ' The "Philharmonic Society," I understand, propose to ffive some' parlor entertainments. this Winter. "I hope, however, the Society may be persuaded to change the programme, and eive two or three public concerts. Let our citizens have an opportunity of judging for themselves of the merits of the Society, and at the same time show their appreciation1 of such an" institution by hlhng the largest house or the city.
