LIVERY STABLE-N. O. Rhodes' stables were burned Sunday morning, but with characteristic energy and enterprise, he established himself at the Decker House stables and was letting rigs in two hours after the fire was subdued. Nell was a pretty heavy loser but is still on earth and hopes his old friends will find him at his new quarters. Remember he is now at the Decker House stables, with a full supply of good horses, carriages, &c. He is the oldest livery man in our city, and now in his unfortunate loss, his old friends should come to the rescue.
