FRE.-About noon on Thursday, the story
and half dwelling house, barn and carriage
house of Capt. Hiram Hamilton, at the foot of
Buzzelps hill, on the road from Knightville to
Cape Elizabeth depot, was totally destroyed by
fire, together with almost all of their contents.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is
thought to have taken from spark from a pile
of brush in the vicinity. Capt. Hamilton was
absent at the time. The buildings cost $4,000
few years ago, and were insured by Messrs. Roll
Inns & Adams, in the Agricultural Insurance
Company of Watertown, N. Y, as follows:
$4,000 on the dwelling; $500 on furniture; $500
on the barn, and 800 on the contents of the
latter; total $500. a.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT KKIGHTyu1E.-A
about II o'clock last night the two story house
on the corner of Bridge and &c" streets
Knightsville, was discovered to be on fire about
the chimney. When first discovered the fire
was well under way, though the family were
unaware of their danger. The house was own
ed by George Stacy, and occupied by his fami-
ly. A large part of the furniture was lost. The
fire Immediately communicated to the adjoin-
ing houses, which were very near, and before
its progress could be stayed five other houses
were burned. of these four belonged to Mr..
Stacy, three being occupied by families named
Small, Sweetsir and Archibald. The sixth ter
ement belonged to George Holt of Boston, and
was occupied by William Hersey. The value
of the houses burned is not far from $4,000. The
furniture in all the houses except the first was
saved. The house occupied by Mr.. Stacy's
family was insured, but it is doubtful if the
other houses belonging to him were. The fur
niture in the neighboring houses was all re-
moved, and several others would have been
burned but for the timely arrival of Steamer
No. 8, from the city After getting there but
little water could be obtained as there were no
reservoirs in the vicinity. Had the wind blown
as iercely as during the day the village would
have been destroyed. The whole loss ON houses
and furniture is estimated at $1,000. Mr. Stacy,
the owner of five of the houses, is absent in

FIRE.-At twenty minutes past o'clock last
evening an alarm of fire came from the resi-
dence of George Jewett, esq.,, No. 81 Pleasant
street, which was badly damaged by the same
agent on Wednesday evening. This time it
was the barn that was on fire, and the flames
made pretty clean thing of the interior, leav-
ing only the shell standing. There is little
doubt that this fire was the work of an incen-
diary, as there was occasion for any one to
visit it with light or other means of commun-
icating fire. Further investigation into the
cause of the fire in the house on Wednesday
night shows that this also was the work of an
incendary, as the matches referred to yester-
day were only party charred, and not enough to
communicate fire to anything outside of the
kettle in which they were found. 1t is notice
able fact also that the fire alarm was out of or
der last night and no definite alarm could be
given on the BELLS The barn was undoubtedly

WATERING are informed in answer to the
inquiry appearing in yesterdays PRESS, that in
Philadelphia the city owns the water works, and
whatever is deficient in water rates is made up
by taxation from other sources; that vacant lots
are taxed for water, whether they take it or
not; and that no fair comparison can be insti-
tuted between the rates for water between the
two cities. We are further informed that but in
very few cases do the rates of this company,
including stable, garden, bathroom and other
conveniences, amount to forty dollars year,
whilst, in very large number of cases, the
rates of the company for dwelling houses
range from seven to twelve or fifteen dollars.
The company are struggling along the best
they can with their great enterprise, and claim
that they ought not to be prejudiced by COM
parsons, where the facts are so essentially
