FIRE IN CHEsTER-We learn that n
destructive fire occurred in Chester last
night, destroying the dwelling and store
of Mr.. VIM. Hunter, of that town. The
loss is estimated at $4,000. The fire
engine "Stonewall'' was brought into
requisition, but having no cisterns, it
was not of much use. The colored peo-
pie, it is said, did not seem to take nm
interest in saving anything. but quietly
folded their hands and looked on the de-
vouring flames, until they had entirely
consumed the building and contents.

GIBRALTAR absurd canard which
came from abroad, of Mr.. Bright's in
tention to restore Gibraltar to Spain,
has at once directed the attention of the
world to that famous rock and fortress,
although the report has been officially
contradicted. 'It derived its name,
Gebel- -el-Tarek. Tarel's rock" says an
authority, ''from the Saracenic chief who
first occupied it, early in the eighth CEN
tury. 1t came into the hands Of the
English in July, 1704. and has been re-
tanned ever since, though various at
tempts have been made to retake it, BY
the treaty of Utrecht, in April. 1713. it
was ceded to England. From July, 1779,
to February, 1888. Gibraltar was be-
sieged by the combined forces of France
and Spain, and suffered greatly from the
smallness of the garrison, the scarcity
OF provisions, and the constant fire of
the enemy. The munitions of war ex-
pended on that occasion by the besiegers
cost over $40, 100000. On single occa-
sion 8. 600 barrels of gun powder were ex-
pended by them. AS it stands, Gibraltar
cannot have cost England less than
twenty to thirty millions, sterling, and is
retained at an annual cost Of 81, SOC. 900.
The Strait of Gibraltar is about eleven
miles wide where narrowest, and has the
enormous depth OF 2,188 ;ctt,ho.ns."

The Somerset railroad, now in process of
construction, leaves the Maine Central Rail-
road at the village of West Waterville, and
thence proceeds in nearly direct line to
Norridgewock, crossing the Kennebec river
just above the toll bridge at Noridgewock
thence it follows along the easterly bank of the
river, crossing to the west bank, about three
quarters of mile below the villages of South
Arson and Madison bridge; thence along the
westerly bank of the river to the village of
North Arson, crossing the Carrabassett river
at the latter village; thence continuing up the
river crossing again to the easterly bank
about half a mile below the ferry which con-
meets Embden with Scion, it proceeds to its
terminus, Carratunk Falls, about three quar-
tiers of mile above Scion. The distance
from West Watervlle to Norridgewock is
thirteen and half miles; from Norridge-
wOck to South Arson and Madison bridge
seven and half miles; thence to North
Arson four and half miles; thence to Scion,
seven and half miles thence to Carratunk
Falls three fourths of a mile. Whole dis
lance is thirtyfour miles.
All the masonry from West Waterville to
Norridgewock withthe exception OF a few small
cattle guards and passes is finished, the earth
work of the same section is nearly ready for
the iron. The grading from Norridgewock
to the river, crossing at Madison, is also nearly
finished, and portion of the earth work be-
tween Madison and Scion has been done. The
earth work is generally light and the rest of
the grading is but small compared with that
