FIRE.-About IL o'clock on Thursday night last,
our citizens we re alarmed by the cry OF fire, which
took place in the large brick store in Chapc-Street,
owned by Mr. Reuben Rice occupied by Mr.. J. G.
Lines leather dealer The occupants Of the adjon-
ing store were fortunately aroused by the noise Of the
fire and the cracking of the window glass; aud gave
the alarm in season to arrest the fames which, the
arrival of the engines effected, and large
amount Of property, iminently exposed, was saved.
On subdung the flames, it remarkable to observe
that the fire had extended equally to the first and
tween them Inducing the apprehension that this CO.
incidence arose from the deliberate of some daring
ncendiary.- Con. Her
