The FIRE LAST EvESING.-The alarm
of FIRE at quarter past seven last evening,
was caused by the burning Of l6 by q
two,story frame house, on Union street. in
Swits addition. The house was a rough
affair and belonged to John Walker, who
moved bis family out Of it ten days ago, and
was using it as a carpenter shop. How the
FIRE originated is not known, as the house
was all in flames when it was first discovered
Mr.. Walker informed our reporter that the
"house was worth about $780," and that it
was insured for $3.50 in the National. Also
that he lost $50 worth Of tools by the fire.
The Fire Kings pulled their steamer to
the scene Of the ire, but were not obliged
to use her. At one time the sparks poured
into Shaw's lumber yard in a dangerous
manner but a few buckets Of water auayed
the danger.
The bitterness ofthe night made the alarm
seem like thing of terror, and thousands
of people were made to shudder at its
sound.-Dar. Gaz. lst.

than it would ha We been had the weather
been more pleasant
New Years Day was charming, the sleigh.
ing fine, and the town lively with callers.
