scrlpton, which are heralded to the public In
flaming advertisements, and which find market
among those who have yet to learn that ''true
economy" consists in buying hrst-class article
from an established and rst-cass house. For exam
pie, pianos Of various makers are offered at about
onc-half the price OF those Of really hrst-class
manufacture. Among the latter none are more c
serving of the encomium 'rcally frst-class" than
those manufactured by Messrs. WILLIAM hSABE q

LOCAL MATTERS.

FIRE on MAIN STREET.-On Saturday night

called out by an alarm given from box No.
II. 1t was caused by Waterman Moody and
others discovering smoke issuing from the
onc-story building on the south side Of Main
street between Ninth and Tenth, owned by
Joseph Jones, and occupied by Avery & Co.,
agents of the Domestic sewing-machine, and
Louis Franck, agent for A. l.. Low, picture
dealer and frame maker. The engines were
on the ground with remarkable promptitude,
and succeeded in getting such control OF
the flames that the building was not. en-,
tirely consumed. The stocks of sewing.
machines and pictures, however, seem to
have been greatly damaged if not made

ing, is i'll the South. He had Just commenced
to run it three stories higher, and proposed
to give it marble front. His loss, as well
is that of Avery & Co., is believed to be fully
covered by insurance, but we have no de.
finite information TO that effect. Mr.. Lowe
is travelling in the West. The total loss by
the fire is estimated at $1,000.
Since the above was written we have been
informed that Avery & Co.'S stock was fully
insured in the North British and Mercantile
Company. The fire originated in the pack
inc-room below their store, and is supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
