PArsEsvrLLr, Feb. 5h,-2 AVN.
Al or near eleven o'clock last night, the
startling cry OF fire was heard again IN
our streets. Its origin is wrapped IN
mystery. Various statements are MADE
with regard to the point where it orlgl,
mated. One man who says that he hrst
raised the cry Of fire, states that the
smoke first issued out OF the small building
owned by Mr.. Marshall, and occupied by
Mr.. II. F. Griswold as Shoe Shop and
Sore. Our own view of the matter is,
being on the ground early, that 1t origi.
mated in Asa Childs' east building, and
occupied by Mr.. ]. S. Reynolds as gro
cery store, and then burned eastward to
MarshaIl's brick store, and then slowly eat
its way up to Moodey's Block. Soon after
the origin, keg OF powder in Reynolds
grocery exploded, which was heard in
Concord.
