The FIRE YESTERDAY MoRNING.-About
10 O'Clock yesterday morning an alarm Of
fire was turned in at Station IA, corner OF
Tenth and Byrd streets, caused by the
burning Of few shingles on the roof of
the framed tenement opposite the sumac
mills. The fire was put out by plug
stream, and originated from a defective
chimney. The owner OF the property was
notified to repair his chimney at once. We
understand that there are hundreds OF
chimneys in the city which are in the same
unsafe condition, which should be attended
to, or we may have many serious fire
during this windy weather. ..,... ~.
The steam fre-engine Of Company A, in
going to the fire, broke down, and had to
be sent to the machine-shop for repairs,
which will keep her out Of service two
days.

SAD AcCIDENT.-An unfortunate accident
occurred in Hanover county, near Tuns-
stalls station, on Saturday evening last,
which resulted in the death OF Aaron Nc
Minn, aged about eight years, and son Of
NIr. John 4. OlcMiun. 1t appears that the
boy was in company with the driver of an
ox-cart, on his way to meet his father, who
was expected at the depot, when upon de-
scendmg hill he lost his balance and fell
from the cart, striking his head. He never
spoke after falling, and died almost in
stantly. 1t is the opinion of the physician
who was summoned that he broke an artery,
which caused death at once.
