tirely consumed, together with large number of
tools and = considerable amount OF newly finished

ginners and, As consequences, must suffer ne.
verely from their loss which Ia estimated at 5000.
The people of Church Hill seem to be beset of late
with incendiaries and burglars, and unless they

Doyle. irst assistant; R. McAlssr, second assist
ant D. T. Nadgan, Secretary; L. J. Boissieux,
Treasurer; W. w. Yeatman, Sergeant 1t Arms.
When the alarm Of Are was given ysstsrday, the
Hook and Ladder boys mustered in force, and ran
down Main street, when finding their services,

this old church was pulled down on Saturday. An
immense quantity of bricks was used In the old
building, which will materially aid in the new and
handsome structure which the congregation con.
template erecting on Bread street.
We are glad to hear that the proposed new
church meets with much favor, and will probably
receive very liberal aid from the community.
