not only make approximation to the locality Of the
fire, but to indicate the very house that is being con-
sumed. All that will be required to have this done in
New-York will be to place fire hunters in each house
in each district and let the tapping Of the bell indicate
not only the district ward but also the number Of
the house that is burning. For instance Suppose No
326 in the Fifth District be fire, the signal by the
bell will be one, one, one, one, one (5 which will |
indcBe the district. The bell will then ntermit and |
strike one, one one 3D. inermit and strike one one
(2) and interm again, and then strike one one one
one, one, one 6), which would give the fire number |
800 Of the house, and would enable the occupant or
