The DowNEy FIRE-We are positively
assured that the fire, Icy which the grocery
establishment Of Wm. Downey, on La Sale
st, was destroyed last week, did not origi-
nate from n stove pipe chimney, as there
was none such about the premises. The
kitchen chimney was Of brick, and perfect
~ safe. The fire originated in the coal
shed outside Of the kitchen, and was I'M
doubtcdiy placed there by an incendiary.
While on this subject it is also due to
say that in stating in our last that the en-
gncs We're not brought into action with
their usual promptness, we did injustice at
least to the Niagara, which, considering
'he time Of night the fire occurred &
o'clock \. NJ, was out with astonishing
pro'nptness, and put into operation with
out moments delay on account of the
cold. The Undine, being farther OF, came
zap later, and failed to do efficient service
on account Of having her valves frozen up.
which were only ;hawed out after long de
NY, by a free drenching with whiskey.

long and ally written communication from
Dayton, in reply to the Exam!na ion of
Judge CuAyrrLy, published in this paper
several weeks ago. Aside from its great
length, which is Objectionable there is an
other inseparable objection to the inser-

that HE author has failed TO accompany it
with his name. We do net ask That wri-
