Appeal says that q FIRE occurred yester-
day about G o'clock P. NJ, which nearly
destroyed the dwelling house occupied
by Mr.. John Cavell and family. The
building thus burned is situated in the
northern part Of the town, just south OF
the residence Of Judge Lewis. The fire
was first discovered where u stove.piPe
passed out from the kitchen. An ener-
| getIc but Intellectual attempt was made
to extingush the FIRE by passing water
| in pals before tho arrival Of the en-
gines. Considering the distance they
had TO run, the iremen were promptly
on hand, but before their arrival the
entire roof was in flames. The furni-
ture was mostly saved. The walls are
standing, but Of course are OF little
value.

grammes for list of wonderful feats and
astonishing things to be seen tonight.
