FIRE-We learn that between 10 and II o'clock
last Friday night, fire broke out at or on the
Wilmington & Manchester R. Company's Bridge
over Brunswick River, by which some sixty feet of
the supersructure on the end next to town con-
sumed as also two platform cars loaded with Tur,
pentne. The fire is supposed to have caught from
sparks dropped by negroes who had been
cootng' in the neighborhood. We have no means
of estimating the probable amount of loss which
will not be great might be at first supposed
The Bridge, we presume, will soon be restored.

If such had been the there could not we'll have

1t seems to that Mr.. Colby's associates in the

whom his suggestion should have been made, if
