ALARMING FIRE. -- WILTON, MAY 30. About
half-past ten o'clock last night the inhabitants of this quiet
little borough were greatly alarmed at hearing the cry of
fire, and on seeing the passing clouds tinged with rising
time. As soon as possible the engines were at the scene of
devastation, and a large assemblage of sturdy labourers there,
ready to assist in putting a stop to the awfully spreading
destroyer. Unhappily their efforts were of but little effect
until the engines from Salisbury were brought at a rapid
rate, accompanied by the fire brigade from that city, arriving
there by about twelve o'clock at night. On approaching the
spot where the destruction was spreading, we found a row
of
dwellings called Burton's Ball fearfully burning, two already
destroyed, one occupied by a tailor named Young, the other by a plumber named Clark ; a third house being partly destroyed. By this time the flames were got under, and the danger materially lessened. By three o'clock, Mte re-
M3oa—Y-14fill 1 copies,
publica-
cently burning pile had sunk into a heap ofsmouldering
ruins, and by four o'clock no further danger was to be ap.
prehended. The property destroyed has not as yet been accurately ascertained.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —A REMARRABLE CURE OF
DROPSY, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
—James Thomas, an old discharged
soldier, who had been many years in India, where his constitution
was much impaired, attended St. George's Hospital some time since,
being in very bad health, besides being dropsical. After several
weeks, the poor fellow began to despair, as 1-,
-e got worse instead of
better. One day he happened to meet his commanding officer who
gave him some money, and recommended him to try Holloway's
Pills, which advice he followed, and, in about two months, every
symptom of dropsy had left him, being restored to perfect health.
