CITY A Eff AIR q

| FIRE.-The alarm Of fire Sunday night about 10
o'clock was caused by the burning Of couple Of out
houses on the farm of Mr.. Garland Hanes about a
mile from the city, on the Brook turnpike. The houses
were formerly used as dwellngs-were about quarter
OF mile apart and one ofthem filled with pro-
vender Both were fired simultaneously, and it is need
less to say, were totally destroyed Loss about $500.
The night being dark and inclement the flames umi-
mated the Northwestern horizon so brilliantly as to in
duce many to believe that the fire actually occurred
within the boundaries of the city.
Yesterday morning about o'clock fire broke out
in shanty stua ted the slip of land lying between
the dock and the river. Several small buildings of lit
tie value, were destroyed. We regret TO learn that
quite serious mishap beiel company No. 6. at this
fire. In attempting to drag their heavy engine over

none of the members seriously injured by the ac-
cldent, and that the engine haud out of the river

the burning OF the root of kitchen attached to the re-
sideuce of Mr. Rawlings, situated on Broad between

guslied the fire. before material damage had been
tanned by the building.
Whilst we are not disposed to interfere with the pre-
sent admirable arrangements of our Fire Department,
