ALMOST A FIRE.-An accident which
occurred at the Eazar on Monday evening,
might have been attended with the most
disastrous results not only to that cstab

business portion Of our city. 4 large
chandelier with five lamps, burning, by
)me means became detached from its
fastening, and came with crash to the
floor, scattering the burning Oil in alb
directions BY aid Of blanket and the
most desperate cxertons on the part of
those present the fire was cXtinguished
but not until it had eaten scars upon

The Conserrdtigo referring to our notice
of the screcd of its Fairbank correspond
cnt last week, suggests that possibly the
letter was a keen piece of irony, an cx-
qnisite satire; in short, that we were bad

our own first impression was that it was
huge bu"lcsquc, but Judging that the
Consertotire knew something of The con.

grave and earnest manner in which it en-

by Ne Fairbank writer, we judged that
we were safe in concluding that it was q
