The New HALE WAREHOUSE, now building on the
site of the one destroyed by fire some six or seven
weeks ago. ought to have another name. It ought to
be called the Phoenix. For whilst the brickayers ara
briskly at work on the uprising walls, the heap Of
the smoudering bagging and rope between continues
to smoke and burn, though the fire were only six
hours instead of six weeks old. So large is the burn
ing heap, that the fire is still vigorous within it
sending forth red tongues Of flame here and there
and, when the breeze is brisk choking the neighbor
hood with the smoke. 1t is odd to see the new
building actually springng out of the fire and ashes
left by its predecessor The building ought certainly
to be called the Phoenix. lsqs

citement, and he took the backtrack for the river
but his escape cut of by the crowd who assailed
him with stones and all manner OF missiles, finally
knocked him senseless, and bore him off into pglori-
GUS captivity. ..5.. a5
