ALARM OF FIRE.--On Saturday after
noon last, an alarm of fire was created by
the roof of house, on the south side of
Main street, second building below the In
ternal Revenue Office, taking fire from the
chimney. Being Il wooden building and sur
rounded by combustible tenemcnts, the dan
ger of an extensive fire was iminent, and
was only avcrted by the promptness of Mr.
Andrew Mason, occupying one portion of
the house that caught fire, who, ascending
TO the attic, with an AK, forced his way
through the roof and extnguishcd the kind,
ling flames with few buckets of water.
Meantime the fire department. was get
ting the engine out, which had no opportu-
nifty to play on the "connagraton." The
engine was left standing in the street, how
ever, to be handy, we suppose, in case Of an
other alarm Of fire, that it may be got up to
the scene of excitement before some oflicious
Mason subdues the dcvouring element with
a bucket of water.

''Chances' were taken in number Of

sons sewing machines, valued at 500;
a handsome doll. dressed as bride, valued
at $500; Il beautiful combination musical
work. box, valued ut S5l.00 and various
other articles of minor importance. The
usual mode of deciding the chances was to
number pieces Of pnseboard from to 81,
aud placing them in hat, Il person was Sc
lectcd to draw out three numbers for each
person having a ''chance' in the article be-
ing disposed Of, and the person whose aggre-
gate three numbers was the highest, was the
lucky individual. The highest numbers
drawn were for the sewing machine: 40, Al,
and IL. making an aggregate Of IN. The
drawing proved to be opposite Miss Jean

was declared drawer Of the capital prize. Mr..
Joseph Wells drew the $50 vase of wax
flowers, and his son John drew large cake.

post Office department seemed to do ~ lively
business. the fair pdstmstrcsses sending out
missives to all that came within reach OF the

were made to the Fair, which want of space
