The alarm being sent from box No. 32, the engines arrived in the course of a few minutes and extinguished the flames before they had done much injury to the building.

The Crystal Water Filter is the name of the latest production in that line. It is a little appa ratus weighing about three pounds, of very simple construction, so that it can not get out of order, and requiring no repacking or alterations of any kind. It is made on the syphon principle, filters a full supply of water, and is gold at a low price, so that it is within reach of every household. The introduction of a good, reliable water filter, sup plies one of the greatest wants in all the cities on the Ohio and Mississippi, and its general use will result most beneficially to the health of Cincin nati. Anson.—Last Thursday evening Miss Carrie Hy att determined to obviate the necessity of washing soiled linen by destroying a quantity of it by fire. In purguance of this resolution she applied a match to certain articles in her room, which were goon in a fine siaze, and were only saved by the more judicious members of the household after they had flooded the apartment with water. The fair incendiary was charged with arson, arrested, and taken to Ninth Street Station house, where she will remain until next Friday, unless some person offers security to the amount of $1,500 for her ap pearance. Snuerlrr’s Sates Yesterday.—The property of Henry W. Alves and wife, at the suit of Matilda Klaw, was sold to M. Gropper for $5,333 34. The property of Richard Jacobs, on the north side of Longworth street, between Central avenue and Plum, was sold to Elizabeth Y. Anderson for $1,430. The property of the same person on Fourth street, west of Stone, was sold for $2,525 34, to Elizabeth Jacobs. The real estate of James B. Morrison, on the northwest corner of Freeman and Flint streets, was not sold,as bidders were neither numerous nor anxious to purchase. The friends of Colonel George R. Elstner, who was killed in the battles before Atlanta, Georgia, on the 8th of August, 1864, have had the gratifica tion of receiving a testimonial of the Government appreciation of his gallantry, in the shape of a commission of Brevet Brigadier General, for gal lant and meretorious services, dating from the day of the battle. Colonel Elstner’s career was a bril liant one. He entered the service as a three months’ volunteer at the beginning of the war. Subsequently he joined the Fremont bodyguard. After this he received the appointment of Adju tant of the Fiftieth Ohio Regiment. Immediately after the battle of Perryville he was promoted to the rank of Major, and soon afterward became Lieutenant Colonel, in which rank he commanded the regiment at the time he was killed, then being but twenty-two years of age. SeaRGENT Grogan and Officer McFarland ar rested, yesterday, on the corner of Sixth and Culvert streets, a notorious thief and most accom plished villian, Charles Carter. He has twice been in the penitentiary for his overt acts and has graced the county jail with his person times innu merable. In nearly all of the crimes for which he has been condemned, Grogan has been instru mental in ferreting him out, and in arresting him; it is not, therefore, at all surprising that Carter entertains for his persecutor an implacable hatred. He refused yesterday to submit to arrest quietly, and endeavored to escape several times; in one of these attempts he drew a heavy revolver from his pocket and leveling it at Grogan’s head, demanded to be released, affirming that Grogan had arrested him once too often and that he now meant to shoot that person, which he undoubtedly would have done had not Grogan dealt him a stun ning blow with a sling-shot, produced his pistol at the same moment and threatened to kill Carter on the spot if he offered any further resistance; and it must be said in his favor that he exhibited symp toms of a mind in healthful operation when he heeded the latter threat, and meekly allowed his captors to conduct him to Hammond Street Station house.
