ANOTHER FIRE ALARM.-On "Wednesday
last the barn occupied by John Tre!oar
was discovered to be on fire. The alarm
was given, and the people flocked to the
scene, and soon extinguished tho fire. 1t
was discovered that some small boys had
formed the bright idea of burning up a
dead dog that lay in the barn; they &C
cordiugIy covered tbs carcass nicely with
straw and set fire to it, hence the alarm.
Perhaps it would be good idea if people
were tn bury their dead dogs, thereby re-
moving any temptation in that direction.
