Almost a Fire.

The good people of the city Of
Bloominggrove were throwninto quite
a CONSERVATION last Friday. by finding
Dukates Potter shop on fire. The FIRE
had made such progress that when
discovered, it was thought impossible
to subdue it, and the prospect was
that considerable portion Of the
town would soon be in ashes, but by
vigorous exertious it was finally sub
dued. Our Reporter informs us that
the ladies deserve great praise for the
intrepidity displayed and assistance
rendered on that occasion.
