discovered to be on fire, which resulted in
materially injuring the back part Of the
building but the alarm being given i'm

ways prompt On such occasiuns--wers soon |
at the scene Of action, and through their /
timely exertions the flames were prevented

building, the damage ~as slight in this re-
spsct. The sriKin Of the FIRE is not known;

an errand shert time before, AID probably

probably $500 but it is comparatively
small to what it would have been bad it not
occurred at season when the wells are
abundsptly supplied with water--otherwise
the entire building would have been con-
sumed. People cannot be tso careful to
guard against fires. Mr.. Jamison was in
