MANCHESTER, July Sat half-past o'clock
this morning fire broke out in one of the
buildings in the rear of the Merchants Ex-
change which swept wildly through the wood
en- buildings in that section, and soon envel-
Oped all the territory between Elm and Chest
nut streets and between Hanover street on the
north and the back streets on the south. The
fire originated in the room occupied by Drake
& Carpenter, spice and coffee manufacturers,
and unquestionably took from the rooster,
which ignited the dry woodwork and c0mmu-
n;cated to the adjacent buildings, many of
which were wood and some of them old and
occupied by combustible material Close to
this building, and connected with it, was a
brick building, in which was located the steam
printing works of the Mirror and the press on
which the Daily Union was printed. This was
soon on fire and in a condition to prevent the
saving of the presses From this point the
fire spread in all directions and the wind blow
ing strong all the time. North was a wooden
building occupied by paint and carpenter
shops; north of that was another wooden
building, in which were several shops. The
fire then moved east taking the wooden build
ings in its coulse until it reached the Masonic
Temple, large and elegant three story block.
Still further east, Johnson's block, Brown &
Cilley's block, and all the tenements east to
Chestnut street. On Manchester street was
James stable, Bartletts block, brick tene-
ment block, Harrington & Johnson's tenement
block and the brick church at the corner of
Manchester and Chestnut streets. On the
south side of this street was the Mechanics
Hotel and many shops and tenements between
FIN, Buck and Chestnut streets. A pretty
clean sweep was made of this. .t..,4s
The Merchants Exchange, the largest block
in the city, four stories high. 200 feet long by
100 feet deep, was in great peril and was fire..
quently on fire. 80 $50
The goods from the shops material from
the printing offices &C., were to great extent
removed. The whole area burned over is from
five to six acres. d .s tsai 4f. ID. ,li.l .5
The amount of property destroyed was not
far from $4,000, on which there was about
S125O00 insurance. The number of families
thrown out of their houses, is not less than zoe
and some put the number much higher. There
has been no loss of life so far as we can learn
and no one personally injured. After the fire
had ragged for an hour or more, the wind lu.led
and it rained freely, which had great inhu
ence in arresting the flames. We cannot YET
give full particulars Jas there is so much con
fusion that the facts cannot be learned.

SEBAGo WATERr-The officers of the Port
land Water Company have just received from
Professors Goodale and Bracket, of Bowdoin
College, an interesting report of an analysis OF
three specimens of we'll water from this city
In the water from a well at 81 Gray street,
there were found after evaporation and drying
at 100 degrees centigrade, q grains to the ga
Ion of inorganic, and q grains of organic mat.
ter which disappeared by ignition. In water
from the pump at the corner of Federal and
Franklin streets, there were 1913 grains of in
organic and 10 grains of organic matter. Ia
the specimen from store on the corner oil
Cumberland and Myrtle streets, there were
357 grains OF Inorganic and 8 3 grains OF Or
ganic matter. The inorganic substance III al
these cases was salts of calcium ana haSheSi-
um, together with chloride of sodium and Sill
cic acid Iron was also present A previous
analysis of Sebago water showed after evapor-
at;on and IGNITION a residue of only LOS to 3
Grains of inorganic matter to the gallon. The
results exhibit vast difference between the
soft, pure waters of Lake Sebago and the well
water analysed, and also proves them to be tar
superior to the Croton of New York and the
Cochituate of Boston.

A New KIND OF SEED.-The other day a
countryman walked into one of our largo
Wholesale drug houses and noticed barrel of
what he thought contained seed. Taking up a
handful he deposited them within his capae-
ious NAV and turning to one of the clerks said
'Wal now, what kind Of seed do you call them
"Seedr' said the clerk, ''those are not seed
they are cochineal." "Cochineal," says the
countryman, "whats cochineal?" "Why,
they are little bug" replied the clerk. "Bug!'
roars countryman, and he marched ont of that
store as if he had been shot, the crimson dye
running in a stream from the corners of his
mouth. Next time that countryman tries the
ai5bling br siness he VIII probably make sure
that he has got the right kind of seed first.
