?ME>-^6a Th^wday^igbAKJIiSrSfeofi:
10 and 11 o’clock, the ears of the inhabitants of this
city wete Blamed by the dreadful cry of “ Fire.”—
•A" immense light'appeatg^'ancl it was soon ascer->
tiined that the hermitage^, the seat of col. Mayo. i
•bout a mills from town was the scene.of destructi
Sjo.r—Thither a.concourse of people, with an alaeri*}
y which rounds greyly to their honor, hastened:
With *ny engine, and dqM fortunately arrived just
h. time to save, all th^&uildings,, except that in
which the fire originated. It would appear that 3 ’
different apartments of a very large farm house, 70
dd feet long, fully packed with oats, wheat, fodder, :
hy, fitc. began burning at the same time, as the
hies poured forth in columns from 3 of the front
Arches, some minutes before they reached the oth
«Ts, 'and left no doubt on theminds of those who saw
IB fire in its early stage, that the brand had been
^Applied through the opposite hack windows,
Here, forth* benefit of gentlemen in the country,
We beg leavtttodrnp a hint on the necessity of their
being supplied with pumps. Upon this occasion by
!leans of one in an adjoining sUldeyard the fireucca
ioned by so great a collection of combustible matter
Wat quenched so far as not to communicate t.o2other
b (Hidings very near, nor even to several tons of wheat
Atraw stacked within the short distance of 20 feet,
when without the supply of water it afforded, every
bnilding on the place, dwelling house and all, must
havftbeen burnt.

Fountains of Mineral Uraters,
AS establishment or
SODA & SELTZER WATERS,
■re now opened one door west of Air. Rcurke't
Hotel—The pleasant and beneficial effects derived
from these Waters are uniformly acknowledged and
recommended by the first medical practitioners.'_
The Soda Water is well known to be a genera! me
dicine, and is a complete remedy against sourness of:
the stomach, commonly called the heart-burn, and
in most cases of indigestion and weakness of the sto
mach it is very useful, gradually restoring the ap
petite and with it the tons of the organ ; it is a pre.
ventative against many diseases of the stomach and
bowels, which proceed from acidity, and for the
same reason often removes or prevents the sick h-ad
ache. , As a palliative and even a remedy in cases of
urinary calcule and gravelly complaints, it is prefer
able to the Ballstown Water. ■
It may prevent, arrest, retard, or remove the
complaints according to circumstances; the Soda
Water is also a very refreshing, and to most people
a very greatful drink, and may be made a complete
substitute for the beverages of which ardent spirits
form a part. One or two glasses of Soda Water
drank a morning succeeding a night of debauch, will
in a great measure dissipate the langour and debility
that,»re its consequent attendants.
SELTZER WATER—1The Seltser Water has
been long known, and is one of the most famous of
the natural mineral waters of Europe. On account
of its agreeable taste, and exhilimting effects, it is
largely used at table, and as a beverage at all hours.
It is a diuretic, and possesses considerable efficacy
in nuphritic and urinary complaints; if is very use
ful against bilious and dyspeptic affections, and in
many cases of cutaneous eruptions.
U possesses a peculiar power of allaying feverish
irritations, and has done ronch service in slow hcc
tic fevers; it mixes, well with milk, and ia thus used
with advantage by hectic patients.
The waters will be drawn off brisk and sparkling,
gnd those that tfhh to drink them in perfection must
doit oo the spot. It is earnestly solicited and confi
dently expected that the Ladles and Gentlemen of
Norfolk will patronise thia useful establishment,
