:, FIRE.-The alarm of fire about half past
twelve o'clock, last night, was caused by the
burning Of framed building near the intcrsec-
ton of Prince and West streets, known as
Shiloh Church, colored Baptist meeting
house. The fire department was speedily on
the ground and hard at work, anu owing to
their exertions the flames were prevented from
spreading, but the. building in which the Ere
originated was entirely consumed 1t is said
that meeting was held their earlier in the
night, and that the fire caught from the heated
stove, but another suppositon is that the fire
was the work Of an incendiary There was an
