MEssRs. ALDEN SAMPSON 8 Sons lost by
he burning Of a part Of their oil.cloth factory
at Maspeth; Long Island, on Friday night last
about $4,000, and the insurance amounts to
$4,000. There were twenty houses on the
premises, Of which eleven we've totally con-
sumed. Only two of them, however, were
large and valuable. The delay in obtaining
full .particulars of the losses and insurance is
attributed to the absence Of the proprietors on
a fishing excursion. The cause of the fire is
still unknown. The Messrs Sampson are
prominent members of the Society of Friends,
and were formerly extensively engaged in the
manufacture of oil-cloths in Manchester and
Hallowell, Maine.

THE WEsTBRooK FnE.-The fire that we
spoke of yesterday morning as having been
seen from the city on Monday evening proved
to be two story wooden building at Morrilrs
Corner, occupied as a grocery store by Henry
Body and owned by Oliver B Howard. The
building was entirely consumed. Mr.. Body
saved large amount Of his stock. The Ere
originated from akerosene lamp, some say, and
others while drawing kerosene from barrel.
Mr.. Body we are told had an insurance Of
$4,000 on stock and Mr.. Howard $1,000 insur-
ance on the building. ss
Since the above was written we learn that the
manner in which the fire caught was as fellows
A customer came into the store and asked
Mr.. Body about some beans: Mr.. Body took
up the kerosene lamp from the counter to see
about the beans, and noticing there was very
little oil in it. went to the o her room to draw
some oil from the barrel into the lamp keeping
the lamp. lighted. An explosion took place
and the oil in the barrel took fire communicate
ing it to the building. Mr.. Body was some
what injured by the explosion. The insurance
was effected in the Etna Of Hartford at the

Ger Houston put in an appearance and arrest
