FIREs.-Monday morning about five o'clock
fire broke out in a barn ON the, premises occr-
pied by Mr.. Gookin, in Westbrook just beyond
behring's Bridge. The barn was entirely de-
stroyed, and the flames caught the dwelling
house of Mr.. G., which was badly injured in
the upper part. Most of the furni ure was
saved in a damaged condition, but the cloth
ing of his children was all destroyed. He had
no insurance. We could not learn whether
the owner of the property, whose name we
could not learn, had any insurance. 1t is sup
posed the barn was set on fire.
Between and 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a
small wooden building ON Congress, above In
dia street, owned by Mr.. John II. Piper and
occupied by him for stair building, and by Mr..
Corliss, carpenter, was destroyed by fire. Mr..
Piper estimates his loss at $1,000, on which he
had $500 insurance in the agency of Messrs.
Loring & Thurston. Mr.. Corliss lost some val
liable TOOLS The fire is supposed to have
caught around the stove.

THE Boston Advertiser of yesterday had a
long article in relation to the railroads pro
jected with view TO improve the railroad
connections of Portland with the West 1t
contrasts the energy of our business men
with what it styles ''the cool and leisurely
manner" in which the Bostonians are going
on. In conclusion the Advertiser says:
Portland has good harbor, and the West
ern people know it, and Europe knows it, and
if Boston had shown ha.f the ambition and
business pluck that the citizens of Portland
have exhibited, we should not now be grumb-
hog over the loss of our ocean steamers. We
would not say one word to discourage the pro-
jectors OF the new routes. The field of com Pc
titon is a fair one, and let the best win. Our
only adviceis, that Boston should wake up to
prompt and vigorous action and sink all petty
questions in favor of some comprehensive plan
which shall secure the ends desired. 1t would
be great advantage to this city if the princi-
pie OF consolidation could be carried into oper-
alton with the several routes between here
and Ogdensburg. If this cannot be done, and
we see no probability of it, the next course is
to use in the best way possible the facilities
now existing.
