FIRE AT SPRINGFIELD.-Th village

ham of Manchester. N. H. The first
floor was vacated few weeks since by
Haywood & Cobb, aud was unoccupied.
The second floor was temporarily occu-
pied, the third floor contained the four
billiard tables OF II. c. Grover. For a
time it seemed Impossible to stay tn e
flames, and that the Springfield House,
livery stables, and large number of
buildings adjacent must be lost, inelud-
ing perhaps :he new brick block Of Ran
dali & Henry, recently finished and oc-
cupied as stores by C. H. Robbins and
Haywood & Cobb, and Others. Fortu-
tunateIy there was little wind, and with
two hand engines vigorously worked,
and a force pump connected with the
machine works Of Gilman & Townshend,
adjacent, the FIRE was arrested with an
entire loss of less than $4,000, which is
probably covered by insurance in Mu-
tual Companies, mostly out of the State.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
