and the news of the fire will be sad
indeed to him, as he was making ar
engagements to commence packing as

The loss of this establishment ia a SER

Besides the loss Of the house and

there were ZOO new tierces in the
cellar worth at least 5000. and a few
car loads of grain stored on the floor

was no insurance on them.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by an inccndiary, as there had
been no fire anywhere inlthc building,
except in the engine furnace. and il
was thoroughly extin guished by the
