We have often regretted the roughness o
the brick with which our houses are built, am,
we look with no little anticipation of iutur,
pleasure, presented by the polished aud ever
surface OF the brick in the splendid resi-
dence Of Henry Moore, Esq, now in tn,
process OF erection opposite our office; bu.
these bricks are expensive, and we were
pleased to examine some specimens of those
now produced by a machine operated by MIR.
Merritt OF Pittsburgh. They are as smooth
aud handsome perhaps more so,-as our
best polished bick, and the machine is 30
great an improvement that he is enabled to
furnish them as cheap as the common brick
are furnished, and make a handsome profit on
them. We trust some OF our brick makers
will try to purchase the right for this place.
They would make money by it.

clerk in the store had brought a lighted eau

what injured ia the stairway of the lower
s'oIy,-ihc second story, much injured, and
some goods III the second story badly burnt.
The third story and roof were also consideTa.
bly, damaged, and all the windows broken in
The main body of the goods were in the low

aged. We think Mr.. Ou's loss must be from
2 to 5000 dollars. No insurance.
The bookstore belonging to the estate O
Dir. J. J. Haswell, next door, was in immi
nent danger and some of the book, wet an,
injured by r~moval. The loss will not b,
great. Full insurance.
The fire companies deserve credit for thei
energy and determination. They were mncI

gest to the council the propriety OF procuring
a ircman's three story ladder for each ward
