BRIDPORT.

SIX HOUSES DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The exciting cry of " Firs " wee raised la East-
street on the atternoon of Friday last. Crowd. rushed
in that direction where were souk dense volumes of

smoke, and IMOD after An inimsive sheet of flame,
arising from a raw of thatched houses, which, within
a brie! period subsequent to the discovery, were fast
becoming a prey to the devouring element. At the
rear of He. Richard's baker's shop, Bast-street, stood
the houses in question, divided from thoee forming
the main street by • puma, but six or seven yards in
width. For • long time these tenements have been
little more than nen., that appearance within and
without being suggestive of poverty and wretchedness.
On the afternoon of Friday • man awned Dingle
observed smoke arising front the roof of one of the
houses, held by • vendor of rage and rabbitskbas—
Lester, who was out at the time. The alarm wee
given, and persons dispatched to the Police btatioe,
and the station of the town Fire Brigade. Sergeant
Hazzard, and Constables Cbaffey, Fonder, and Baker,
were on the spot within Lan naiuutes after the occur-
rence, and at this time the fire had got such tirm hold
that three cottages were already doomed to deetruction.
The sergeant at once made for the Brigade Udine,
where Mr. F. 000pir, superintendent, and Mr. T.
Patten, Assistant-superintendent, were already getting
out the apparatus. Several tirenien were on the spot
by the time the apparatus was in order, and, the
standpipe and hues being fixed, a plentiful stream wee
bri.ugut to bear upon the burning masa. At this time
the whole of toe six house. were on fire, so the ia.ten-
Lion of the brigade was directed to the houses ill the
wain street, which seversl um.' were turasteorid.
Toe apparatus played for about two hours, by which
time die fire warn subdued. live out of the sir
cottages were inhabited, and most of trio furniture
was got out with little damsge. Another alarm was
raised late in the evening that the fire hitt re-kindled.
Sergeant Hazzard &halo promptly put in an appear
sure, and left the apparatus in charge of several men
for the night. The property, belonging to Messrs
W. it, brown. L Mbb, and it. Norman, wee
insured. The origin of the outbreak is as yet wrapped
in mystery.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
To az AG4oe.

In your lent hone I observe • letter signed "Words
from • workih whicn o 'taigas valuable gagger
tinis and • reletenco to the coming municipal election.
I do not know how far the eutbor of " Word. from
a workshop" may be cognisant of what took place lent
November. My experience of it was that the Liberal
candidates were never asked for a policy, but they were
very much desired to buy votes, and when they refused
the result wasthat somebody bought them, and sent
See obetructives Into the Council, from whom we have
no right to expect any of the civilizing infinenoro that
are now onmmon to the men of our workshops, who
are educated up to a knowledge of their wants, and
how to obtain them.
' Well flushed drains, baths, free pablic libraries,
electric light, tc., are all within the work ullhe" man
from the workshop," if he will only have his public
meetings and demand them, but first of all he should
well understani that the giving or accepting of a
bribe is a criminal act, and he must be resolute to
having nothing at all to do with It, exoepting to prow
cute any guilty persons who, by giving or taking the
bribe, defraud him of hie fraoobiss.—Yours truly.
