A HALF MILLION FIRE.
NEW YORK, March G.-This evening Il
fire broke out in the basement of the
large iron front building Nos. l, 5, and 5
Bond street, and all available engines in
the city were called out; but the fire
spread 80 rapidly that in short time the
whole structure was in flames and it was
feared that the adjoining buildings would
be destroyed, SO the business men in the
vicinity began to move their goods to u
place OF safety.
AT late hour the flames are under
control. It is difficult to learn with any
accuracy the damage resulting from the
fire. The whole building was occupied
by dealers and manufacturers of watches,
iewelry and sllverware. The greater
part OF the merchandise was locked in
the safes and will probably be saved. 1t
is estimated that the damage to the
building and stock will exceed $500,0O0
which is fully insured.

THE SUN.

The different editions Of THE SUN during
the next year will be the same as during the
year that has passed. The daily edition will
on week days be sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays sheet OF eight pages, or Sc broad
columns; while the weekly edition will be q
sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions
and character that are already familiar to our
friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution Of craftsmanship, wisdom,
and integrity for hollow pretenoe, imbeCiiity,
and fraud in the administration of public af.
fairs. 1t will contend for the government of
the people by the people and for the people,
as opposed TO government by frauds in the
ballot box and in the counting of votes, en-
forced by military violence. 1t will endeavor
to supply its readers-a body now not far
from million Of souls-with the most care
ful, complete, and trustworty accounts Of cur.
rent events, and will employ for this purpose
numerous and carefully selected staff of re.
porters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundcring the Treasury or by
usurp'ng what the law does not give them,
while 1t Will endeavor TO merit the confid once
Of the public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of uniusti.
neu power.
The price of the daily Sun will be SIS cents
month or Sc SO year, post paid, or with
tho Sunday edition 81 70 year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages,
81 ~ year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad
columns will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of 81 n year, post paid
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for The Weekly can be enjoyed
by individual subscribers without the neces.
slty of making up clubs. At the same time,
If any of our friends choose to aid in extend
ing our circulation, we shall be grateful to
them, and every such person who sends US ten
or more subscribers from one place will be
entitled to one copy of the paper for himself
without charge. AT one dollar year, post
age paid, the expenses of paper and printing
are barely repaid and, considering the size
Of the sheet and the quality of it's contents,
we are confident the people will consider The
Weekly Sun the cheapest newspaper publish-
ed in the world, and we trust also one Of the
very best. Address,
