LOCAL AFFAIRS.

FIRE On Thursday morning last, about four
O'Clock, the pot shop Of John i. Magee, Mt
North East, was discovered 10 be on fire The
alarm was given, and soon n number OF citizens
were assembled, who with buckets, carried wa
ter from the river,--the pottery being located
on the river haDk-and succeeded in preventing
the FIRE from communicating to the adjacent
buildings. That part OF the establishment where
the fire originatel-and which, we believe was
used as a drying house-was consumed A
quantity of green ware, which was ready for the
kiln was destroyed. The whole amount of the
loss, as estimated by Mr.. II l.. Thomas, who
owned the building. is about $500. No insur-
anoe. 1t wns believed that the fire originated
from pipe which was in too close proximity to
the roof. Mr.. Magee is a manufacturer of
" stone ware, and has been doing profitable
business. The town of North East has no fire
engine, and fires have to be combatted in the
primitive style, with ladder and buckets
