FIRE AT SPETTIABURY. —On Sunday afternoon
week three hay ricks, belonging to Mr. George
Keynes, yet.man, were much damaged by tire. The
tire was discovered hy P.C. Webb, and very speedily
the Blandfonl engine was in attendance, and, from
the plentiful supply of water through the proximity
of the river, the fire was quickly got under. Super-
intendent Watts and the persons present lent their
aid towards extinguishing the flames, and a good
!art of each rick was saved.. The tire was caused by
three little boys, under seven years old, lighting
congreve matches among some loose straw near one
of the ricks. Mr. Keynes is fully insured.

men and boys with good strong beer and bread and

ing commenced about 6 o clock, and after the tea the
children were much amused by running for ribbons,
cakes, &c. Wellspring's Sax-horn band (ruin Dor-
chester was in attendance, and added much to the
enlivenment of the scene by the pleasilut airs which
they played with spirit and good taste.
