fire on the cellar stairs, and the gas being
turned on, ignited, causing the explosion.
The building is owned by Henry B. Lyman,
and insured for S25OO at the Providence Mu-

Of his acquaintance TO join him in the business,
and furnish him with the necessary capital to go
ahead wiah. He came to New York, and at once
entered upon a most pTofigate and ruinous course
OF advertising, which at last excited the alarm Of
the old gentleman in Albany, who came down to
inspect the accounts Of the concern, and, to his
utter CONSERVATION, he discovered that his prodi-
gal partner had spent his entire capital the first
year IN advertising. But examining little Iurth

TERRIBLE FIRE IN CANADA.-We learn from
the Quebec Chronicle Of Saturday that dreanful
FIRE, caused by the clearing Of lands, has occurred
in the county of Chicoutimi, and has been carried
by a strong wind springing up at the time, over
the greater part Of nine townships in that coun-
ty, consuming all before it, and rendering DESC
late and houseless over one hundred families,
equal to seven hundred souls.
By this calamity it is said more than one hum
bred thousand dollats worth of property has been
destroyed, besides an immense extent of fencing,
with several costly bridges. More than third of
the seed sown this Spring has also been destroy
ed, which will be very severely felt by the set
tiers, owing to their inability to procure seed and
re-sow SO late in the season.
