AN ALARM OF FIRE.-The cry of fire
was heard in our streets, last Monday at
about Is minutes past nine O'Clock, PM,
when fire was discovered under Messrs
Paige and Freemans wooden store
house adjoining their brick store, near
ly opposite the Central House. A guam
tity of tow or hemp mating, saturated
with Kerosene oil, together with sticks
of kindling- wood, was found burning on
the plate or sill of the store-house. A
barrel Of shavings in the cellar was
also fire, and the whole wooden struc-
ture must have been all abla8e in flf-
teen minutes, had not the alarm been
given in time to prevent it. As it
was there was no damage donei but the
event causes a good deal of feeling
among our citizens, as there is strong
probability that a dastardly attempt
has been made to burn down and de-
stroy building containing a large
quantity of provisions, such as pork,
-four and meal, the property of Messrs.
Paige and Freeman.

fifteen tons of nails day.
The rolling mill has been for several
weeks occupied night and day in turn
ing out the long bright cherry colorod
ribbons which when cooled and cut up
into foot lengths make the nail plates
from which the nails are cut. A supply
of three or four hundred tons of them
has thus been accumulated to start
with. At the present and prospective
high price of nails, this will be most
profitable branch of the company's bus
mess.
Other branches will be added next
season. The foundations of a mill 200
by 70 feet, for rolling boiler plate, are
already laid, and the machinery is ready
for erection as soon as the building is
