to the City Hospital. By the efforts Of the fire.
men, the fire was soon put out, without much dam
age to the building except that occasioned by the
food of water poured upon it. The store Of this
building was occupied as a Crate and Stove store

the examination of Public School, No. 10, Duane

a corner building on the west side of the town,
the observing passer.by will notice the follow

STEAM POLISHED AND FINISHED HATTERs.
We have "hearn tell OF strange thing. being
done by steam-even TO the making of ice cream
but who in the world ever before heard Of such
an article as is here advertised. Several of our
Broadway Hatters enjoy the reputation of being
"polished" and one or two OF the profession that
we know of are thoroughly " finished in their
art. but we never dreamed that the figures OF aP'
parent Hesh and blood that bow politely from
behind the marble counters were nothing but.the
handiwork of steam. We tlust that Mrs Par
tngtons attention will not be called to this last
wonder. The march ofimprovement has already
severely shocked her nerves, and we fear this last
evidence of progress would prove fatal to her
sensitive system.
