OBsEouIEs. funeral of the late James
E Fernald took place from the New Jerusa-
lem Temple yesterday afternoon. The churcn
was filled to its utmost capacity by the rela-
tiyes and friends of the deceased. A beautiful
,oss-wood casket, lined with white satin and
covered with the choicest flowers, enclosed the
body and was placed at the rear of hesaudi-
ence-room, So that those entering the door at
either end of the church had an opportunity to
take a. farewell glance of the features of him
they had so loved and respected in life, before
taking their seats. The services were conduc-
ted by Rev. Mr.. Hayden, the pastor, and con-
sisted of the reading of the scriptures, the
Swedenborgian service for the dead, music,
and an address. In his remarks Mr.. Hayden
spoke OF the suddenness with which the de-
ceased had been taken from them, dwelt upon
his beautiful character, his integrity and kind
heartedness, and said that although he was
absent in the body he was with them in the
spirit.

FIRE.-About quarter before o'clock this
morning fire broke out in the block of wooden
buildings on the southerly side of Fore street
near Franklin street, owned by Mrs. Stafford
The fire originated in the millinery shop of
Mrs. Stafford, and quickly extended through
the block, which was occupied on the lower
floors as bar and refreshment rooms, and in
the upper stories as tenement rooms. The fire
department. was prompt to the alarm. But
they had hard fire to fight, Notwithstanding
the rain which was pouring down copiously.
The flames extended through the whole of the
upper part of the block; but the~exertions Of
the firemen prevented the ravages from ex-
tending to the stores.
The damage to the block was very severe-a
portion OF it being ruined. The larger portion
of the furniture of the occupants was re-
moved. 1t looked squauy at one time for all
the buildings in that vicinity; but the indomi-
table energy of our IRE department prevented
great confagration.
We understand that Mrs Stafford was fully
insured on the building and, also, on her stock
When we left the fire, at 2 o'clock, the fire

I. A. r. A.-Our Irish American friends had
a splendid time last night. They are not sugar
OF salt, and can't be frightened by little rain,
and they turned out in large numbers. We
counted one hundred and ten couples in the
Grand March, and still the CRY was G they
come" SO that, we presume, before the ball
was ended, there must have bean over one
hundred and fifty couples on the floor Tho
galleries were filled with spectators, and the
result must have been highly gratifying in
pecuniary sense to the society.
Over the gallery, facing the stage was sus-
pended the beautiful banner of the Associa-
ton, while at the right dropped the national
flag of Ireland, and on its left the star span-
gled banner The Portland Band gave a grand
concert for the hour preceding the opening
dance, composed of Irish melodies, and then
gave place to Chandlers Quadrille Band.
Ah where do you find the nation that know
how to enjoy dance like the Irish? The very
essence of music is born in them, as it is in the
Italians, but instead of the languor peculiar to
the southern cline, which, indisposed to exer-
ton, they possess a sprightliness and an ener-
gy that revels in good reel or jig and does mt
disdain cotillon or waltz, And the Irish OF
this city fully maintained the reputation Of
their countrymen last night, for they went into
it with will. There were twenty dances on
the card, and the ball did not end until the
small hours of the morning. The could coun-
