APoLoGY.-We beg to tender an apology to
THE Mercantile Library Association. In the
notice of the G. A. Concert, yesterday morn.
ling we were made to say "a marked improve
Iment in the hall should be noticed bet,oeen
"Wednesday night and Thursday night, in car
!peting the passage-ways and keeping the door
from samming." 1t should read "a marked
improvement in the hall should be noticed on
"Wednesday and Thursday nights" This apol.
Iogy is rendered all the more necessary as it
seemed to institute an invidious comparison
between the two societies, to the injury of the
M. l.. A. when they were really the ones who
Town the carpeting, had it laid down, and made
Ian offer of it to the G. A. r. The mistake was
Eour oac,s, and was owing to the haste in which
the notice was written at a late hour of the
sevening, and oversight ON our part in correct
ling it after it was ready for the press. Both
societies, by doing so much for the comfort of
their audiences, are deserving of great praise.

FTRE.-About half-p o'clock last eve
ming Mr.. John Wiggin discovered the wooden
|store in Market street, owned by Messrs. A. N.
Noyes & Son, and recently occupied by them
las steve store, but now occupied by Mr.. j. L.
Turkey as a grocery store, to be on fire. He
Immediately gave voice alarm, and an at
tempt was made to sound the telegraphic
alarm. But the wires had either parted or been
Icut at Libby's corner, and, consequently, nc
alarm could be sounded from the boxes. After
some little delay the bells began to ring, and
THE fire department was quickly on the spot
The Washington Hook and Ladder Company
land Steamer Casco, No. 5, were there before
zthe bells sounded the alarm.
The fire, as is supposed, caught from the
funnel, which runs up through the building
sthere being no chimney. The firemen fought
sthe flames like tigers, pouring upon and into
athe burning building such volumes of water
sthat soon quenched the flames, and saved the
zadjoining wooden buildings. A small portion
6of Mr.. Tukey's stock was saved. He had
$4,000 insurance upon his stock, which will
NEARLY cover his loss. We could not learn
( whether Messrs. Noyes & Son have any insur.
lance upon the store, which was badly dam.
zaged throughout
