Almost a Fire.--Occurred at the old frame bull
ding occupied by P. W Redfed nd NJ Stone. on
the corner Just opposite our Office. 1t seems that

fire.

posthouse where he "takes in as fellow passen-
ger choice bit of humanity, FIVE feet and up
wards, wrapped up in dimty and other "f1us" has
had occasion, at least once week to reflect upon
the uncertainty of all sublimary things-eIcept
Wasaing-day. That day is one of the fred days.-
