FIRES. The alarm of fire about nine o'clock
last Saturday night was caused by the bursting
Of all oil lamp and the consequent burning OF
bed in the house on Fairfax street, adj oln-
ing that on the southeast corner of that street
and Duke street, and occupied by MIR. French
The alarm about halt past eleven o'clock the
same night was caused by az unsuccessful IN
cendiary attempt to destroy the lumber yards
on Uuion street. The FIRE was kinded among
pile OF shingles belonging to Smoot u Perry,
that were packed up agaicst the counting room
OFF. Fl. D. Smoot, but it was discovered and
extiuguished before more than two thousand
Shingles had been burned. The house was un-
injured. The loss was not more than twenty
five dollars, on which there was no insurance,
as the proprietors of the lumber yard have i'm
plicit faith 10 the efficiency OF, and confident
reliance upon the Fire Department, which was
speedily out at both the above mentioned alarms.
