FIRE, SATURDAY EvEsINo.-on Saturday even
| ing last, about O'Clock, the building No. S06
Church street, was considerably damaged by fire,
the roof on the back part of the house being al
| most entirely burned out together with portion
| OF the floor under the roof, while the whole
| building was flooded with water and the plaster
| ing hangs loose upon the walls. The origin of
the fire cannot be satisfactorily explained. When
| first discovered, it was burning between the
plastering and the roof. The iue is dagonally
across the room in the opposite corner, 10 that
it s impossible for the fire to have been COM
municated from it. Some person think that
the house was set Oh fire, the shingles in
the roof being raised for this purpose.

violence against the dwelling of Jas. II. Price,
, breaking the steps and MASKING the door iamb.
Mr.. and Mrs. Price who were standing in the
door, narrowly escaped injury. The hose carriage
was also badly broken, but it s in service again.
Just before the upset, young man named Lord
: who running with the Friendship Co. was
, run over but not much hurt. The Water Witch
hose carriage ran on down to 9Th and Walnut,
where in upset and falling against the lamp-post
broke off the letter-box. The carriage WAS also
considerably broken and the running gear bent
