The following doggerel on the fire of
Sunday has been handed us for pubhca-
cation by the author, whose name is at
tached at the close
FIRE: FIRE! FIRE.
Twas three o'clock or thcreahout-,
On sabbath morning last
The alarm Of fire was ringing ont,
Before the morning blast.
The whistle blew, the fire bells rang,
To warn the iremen out,
With brakes and hose they soon began
The water for to spoV.
In Gilson's shop the fire broke out
In flames that's unsurpassed,
In rear of Cramton & Nichols block.
On Merchants Row they flashed.
With diligence unmarked before,
They toilcd and spared no palms.
To quench the fire; but on il rushed,
In fearful maddening flames.
On rear Of buildinRa little north,
The flames beganto rally,
asked a man TO whom it belonged
He answered. B. NJ. Bailey.
All hopes of Cramton & Nichols block,
Were now brought TO an end,
Inside the brick the fire d began,
The ceiling to ascend.
With efforts unrelenting
They managed to protect,
The building north Of Bailey's,
Owned by yalliquette.
But to the south the flames rushed on,
Defying all twas near,
With flashing, smashing, TO and tro,
Left but ruin in its rear
The lremen now to Yerder's moved.
By signal, or word of mouth,'
To stop the fire if possible.
From going further south
Their efforts there were not IN vain,
For verders store still is left
Cramtm and Nichols block all burnt,
And many a ones bereft- OF home.
