FmEs.-About :half-past twelve o'clock Thursday
nlght fire broke out III the upper part Of the brick
stable the of the residence of Mr. A. Sieber-
ling, on the of Third and Clay streets. The
roof and part of the flooring, together with some
hay, We're destroyed but, fortunately, no damage
done to anything i'll the lower part of the build
ing. The property is owned by Mr.. Sieberling but
occupied jointly by himself and Mr.. Charles Euker.
The tiremen were promptly on the spot, and did
efectual service.
A few minutes past one O'Clock, while the firemen
returning to their enginehouse5 from the fire
above mentioned, the alarm bells commenced ring
ing in Manchester and they forthwith started over
there at a full run. The cause Of the alarm pro-
ceeded from the burning of three framed buildings,
on Main street, short distance from the cotton
factory, occupied respectively by Alexander Bax-
ter, Henry WorTell, and number of servants be-
longing to "A Mrs. Hall Messrs. Baxter and Wor-
rell saved all their furniture, but the servants i'll
whose house the fire originated lost everything they
had. 1t is believed that by the timely arrival Of
the steam-engne from this city great deal of other
property was saved. The first stream was gotten
on by our firemen, and when the Manchester com
panies got to work they operated at one end of the
fire and ours at the other.
