About II o'clock last evening bright
light was seen of serious fire, apparently
at West Rutland. We were unable to
learn its location, or what it was, by tele-
grams, the office at West Rutland being

the marble mills, but those more conversant
with the locality Judged it was further
south, and on the main street in West Rut-
land in the vicinity of the more thickly set
tied portion, perhaps the block near Mead
and Perry's store.

A large box from G. G. Dunn, who is
stopping at Palatka, Florida, was received
at Dunn & Champions yesterday, which
contained samples of the fruits of that
state. A splendid specimen of an alligator
recently killed and stuffed was prominent
item in the list. The skin and skull of an
alligator ten feet and ten inches long, also
enclosed, shows their capacity to swallow
good sized negro child. One small twig of
the orange tree had fourteen very large
oranges of uniform size, whose weight it
would scarcely seem possible the branch
could sustain. Besides other fruits the
box contained samples OF great variety OF
the native woods-the sweet gum, myrtle,
magnolia, yellow pine, red cedar, wild
grape, cypress and the swamp cypress sl-
bows, citron, orange, green bay, lemon,
palmetto, bergamonte, oak with the gray
moss hanging to it, and other woods.
There was also vast variety of the mater
ials for walking canes. These can be seen
at Dunn & Cramton's store, and will repay
visit.
