FIRE.-We regret to state that our
village has been again visited by one of
those calamities, which have so often be-
fallen US within the last year. "A barn
belonging 10 MIR. Russell of the Vermont
Hotel and two dwelling houses near it oc-
cupied by Messrs. William and Henry
Rodden, were entirely consumed by fire
on Saturday evening of last week. The
ire was discovered about ten o'clock and
was unquestionably the work of an in
cendlary. We also understand that one
OF the barns attached to the Burlington
Hotel formerly owned by Col. Thomas
was discovered to be ON fire about the
same time, but the flames were extin-
gulshed before any damage was DONE
