gines we're soon on the spot and did ex-
cellent ssrvice under chief-engineer E.
Underhill, who succeeded in conAnine
the flames to the building in which they
originated until eItinguished. But we
should state that Mrs. Brabam's mil
linery store being connected under q
united roof, it also shared largely of the
evil effects Of the flames. Every DOS
mble effort was made to save goods from
both stores, though in that respect Mrs.
Braham's goods were alone fortunate to
any extent. Adjoining stores were in
imminent danger, but almost a calm
prevailing, added to the worthy and no.
BILE efforts of many gentlemen present.
the result did not prove 50 disastrous as
was feared. Mr.. Underhills's stock was
almost totally lost, though report has it
that quite a number of petty thefts were
indulged in by some of the few dishon-
est who will insist on plying a direputa-
BILE calling on all such occasions. Mrs.
Braham sustained considerable loss,
but we have been unable to obtain an
approximate or reliable information as
to whether she was or was not insured.
The property was that of Mr.. F. N.
CHM, of Clyde, on which he held a pol
icy in the North America of Philadel-
phia for 81 900, while Mr.. Underhill's
stock was insured for about 81, 400, in
the Farmers and Merchants of Hamilton,
and the Melville of New Jersey. The
flames were got perfectly under by
twelve o'clock, though the first section
of the hose, acted upon by the severity
of the weather, twice parted from its
coupling, which fact may probably sug-
gest to the FIRE department the pro
priety of retaining two or three lengths
of leather hose-as more reliable when
attached where the greatest stress comes
to be available for use in case of re-
curing weather so exceedingly trying
ID such an emergenew. Mr.. Underhill
being particularly desirous his custom
ers shall experience as little inconveni-
ence as possible, begs us to state that
until he can secure a temporary store all
orders forwarded him by postal card
shall be promptly executed, and trusts
under the present trying circumstances
his friends will not withhold from him
their esteemed favors.

That Dangerous Step,

intercession Of Mr., Hale, our depot mas
ter, the L. s. and NJ. 3. R. R. engineer
has consented, at an early day, to rene

platform. at the depot to the Sidewalk.
We have reason for also anticipating,

see to a street light being erected on
the corner Of the foot-path leading on "
Oroghan street, the railroad company
will not be slow to contribute another
near the spot above referred to. E

Fighting Canadians.

Sheriff Coonrod had conGgned to his
care, on Tuesday evening, three men
claiming to be brothers, from Canada,
brought to this city by the marshal of
Clyde. 1t seems that on Monday night
they visited several saloons, indulged
pugehstic exercise on every hand, were
exceedingly boisterous, and ss a climax
"went" for the marshal. Assistance
being at hand, after a sharp melee the
boys were locked up. Next day they
were taken before a justice and fined
$25 and costs each, with orders to lay in
Jail until the amount was paid.

The usual quiet of our city on Sunday
evening was this week disturbed by
that unwelcome messenger of destruc-

conhagration was almost directly oppo-
site that of the last fire, and originated
in the store of Mr.. Harlow Underhill, a

Doncyson's, on Front street. During
the Sunday Mr.. Underhill had left fire
in the stove to prevent the frost ef6ecting
the potatoes and other perishables near

past nine and ten in the evening the
building took fire therefrom. Both en-

generous manner in which our appeal
has been met, The three cases of cloth
ing received from them, have enabled
the committee to comfortably olothe
more than a score of families; and to
alleviate an untold amount of suffering
Gould the donors of those goods have
beheld the moistened eyes; and the Joy
Gus looks, of our suffering neighbors, as
they received shoes for little purple feet
at home, and warm clothing for their
suffering families, we are sure they
would feel thankful that they were

VOtary.
In the present age of extensive and
increasing commercial enterprise-and
when the mission, aim and ambition of
every one appears to be centered in the
inevitable dollar" there is probably a
greater necessity for protection by the
law than ever before. The speculative
genius infused into almost every daily
transaction demands that itbe conducted
with the utmost regard to legality as a
protection from subsequent conniving
Hence the widespread and growing ne
cessity for legal counsellor the abso-
Lutte shrewd attorneys best officers to
avoid the uncertainties consequent on
the accidents of time. In this respect
we have unlimited confidence in our re-
spected friend, Mr.. J. L. CALDWELL, at
torney and counselor at Law, of Fort In
dustry Block, 46 Summit street, Toledo,
than whom it would probably be difficult
to find a more promising, energetic,
studious and successful votary for the
time he has practiced in the famous Corn
City. Mr.. G. formerly conducted fine
business in Iowa, coming to Toledo
about q yehr and half ago, with fun
powers and experience 70 practice in
either State or Federal courts, being fur
ther empowered with q. commission as
notary public. At first locating at 158
Summit street, subsequently at 101 Sum
NIT street, and latterly in Fort Industry
Block, 46 Summit street, his ability in
the profession soon became popular, and
clients were not slow in finding him out
and in coming forward to build up his
present largely increased business. In
conducting the transfers OF real estate,
taking Acknowledgements, &c, his past
and success has been most
in the way of counsel,
but few can excel him in careful and
vell-tined advice. Helis q gentleman
of remarkable close business habits =
most agreeable to approach, candid and
fluent in deliberation. Indeed, we know
of no one in the city we should rather
prefer to entrust with our legal bust
ness, and therefore cheerfuny accord to
