Fire.

About one o'clock Saturday afternoon
persons near the corner of Washington
street and Merchants Row were startled
by the noise which evidently proceeded
from an explosion, and soon after smoke
and flames were seen to issue from the
southeast corner of the Village Hall, or
rather from the lower room in which was
kept Killington Steam Fire Engine No.
g. The alarm of fire was promptly given
Efforts were at once made to remove the
steamer and also the machine of Washing
ton Engine Company, No. 2, which was
in the west part of the same building.
This was quickly accomplished, and the
machines, with their hose etc., were not
only in place of safety, but they were
also soon manned" and throwing water
on the burning building. In the mean
while the hall in the second story used
for village, fremen and other public meet
ings was entered by means of ladders and
was being rapidly cleared. Nickwackett
Engine Company No 2, was also prompt
ly on the ground and soon they too were
throwing water, and about the same time
hose had been attached to the force pump
in the machine shop of the Rutland Rail-
road and fourth stream of water was
pouring onto the fire. The fire soon
Welded to the water and the building
vas saved badly damaged. The adjoin-
ing buildings, one being occupied by DR.
Goldsmith as an office, and the other by
A. T. Davis as a lumber Office, were clear
ed of their contents and were only in
iured, if at all, by water.
The loss it is impossible to estimate,
but is understood that work will probably
be comm enced at once to repair the build
ing. There was no insurance on the
building. but Washing ton Engine Com
panv have an insurance of five hundred
dollars on the furniture, engrayings, etc,
in their hall
The origin of the fire is not certlinly
known, but there does not seem to be
much doubt that it was caused by spon-
taneous combustion. It appears that in
the soutl east corner of the room and in
the place where, or near where, the fire
undoubtedly originated, there was pile
of crgl for the use of the steamer, and on
this pile we're several rags, or pieces of
waste, which had been saturated with oil
or benziue for the purpose of clearing the
engine, and after being used for this pur-
pose had been thrown into this corner,
and As there had been no fire in or near
this place, it seems that the fire must be
referred to this cause.

September 10Th and 10Th. The weather
was fine, the show and attendance on the
first day were not large, but on the second
day the attendance was large, and the
show in the hall very good. But little
stock was exhibited excepting horses,
which were on the ground in abundance.
Addresses were delivered by Williim
M. Pingry, Ex-Governor Fletcher and
Rev. d. M. Crane. The company was
very orderly during the fair. No intoxi-
Gated person was there, no quarreling, but
all met and enjoyed the occasion as

Rutland County Clerk.

THE CLERKsHIP.-The clerkship of the
next House of Representatives, it has
been rumored would be closely contested.
We are, however, led TO believe from re-
cent developments, that there will be no
opposition to the election of David M.
Camp Of Newport. He was elected Clerk
at the Session of 1869, but within few
days after his election was Frustrated
with typhoid fever, which detained him
from the performance of its duties for the
session. His place was acceptably filed
by Henry N. Newell, Egg, of Shelburn,
First Assistant Clerk. Mr.. Camp has had
experience az an Assistant Clerk under
Mr.. Flsgg, who was most accomplished
clerk and strict disciplinarian, which has
given him an excellent opportunity for
the performance of clerical duties. He
will make popular and efficient officer.
He is genial and competent gentleman
and we trust he may receive unanimous
reelection.

FIRE.-A two-story frame building
situated on the corner of Strong Avenue
and Madison street, occupied by P. Kelly
as a store and residence was entirely con-
sumed by fire last friday evening. The
alarm was given at about half-past ten,
and when the first persons arrived at the
scene of the fire the building was one
mass of flames, rendering it impossible to
save the building or any of its contents.
A barn, or shed, on the same premises,
some feet distant, was, however, saved by
the use of little water.
The store, and as we understand, the part
used as dwelling also, had been unoccu-
pied since last Monday, Mr.. Kelly, the
proprietor, being absent from town, leav
| ing no doubt but the fire was the work o.
an iucendiary. We have been unable tt
ascertain what the actual loss is, but the
| building is insured for five hundred dol
lars, and, the furniture in the dwelling
! for three hundred dollars, in companies
Represented by Mr.. Francisco.
| The fire companies were promptly on
hand, but owing to there being no water
and from the detached situation of the
building, their services were not called
into requisition.
