FALSE A1ARM.-The alarm of fire Wednes-
day night was sent from the box corner OF
Esplanade and IRENE streets. Whoever
the miscresnt was he doubtless intended
mischief, for after opening the box he
broke of the outer plate and threw it into
the street. The reason for breaking the
box must have been to hold the hammer
that strikes the small bell within in order
that no one should hear any sound. We
can tell the fellow that had the iremen
secured his corpus he would to-day be
complaining of q dreadful rheumatism or
break.b bone fever.
