SLIoHr MIsrAxE.-Mr. Wagner, member
Of Liberty Hose, who yesterday gave US the
item about the FIRE near the Granite mill, was
slightly mistaken when he told US that the
fre was out when Yellow Jacket Hose com-
menced playing on it. The contrary is true,
AS Mr.. Aylesworth informs US. He ought to
know, as he is Foreman. But for the timely
arrival Of the Yellow Jacket Hose there would
have been n very serious fire and consider
able damage done, rs the row OF houses where
il occurred are mostly frame buildings. In
Justice to the Yellow Jacket boys, who are
ever ready to do their duty, we make the cor
rection.
