Fire A1arm.-Tns New Arrannement.


 The new arrangement of the fire alarm boxes goes into effect to-day at 12 o'clock, noon. The Hartford zgmes fayors the i'm. mediate adoption of the new plan in that city very heartily as follows:
 This system is advantageous and an im- provement upon the plan in operation in this city, because it is preventive of confusion and errors. For example, take the mixed alarm from 3, last November, when the de- pertinent went to 32, 31 and finally to g. The 3s and 3Os are in opposite directions here and q long distant apart. If they were in the district, like New Haven's plan, whether the department had agreed on counting 8, 31 or 32, they would have been called to distinct locality and the correct place have been very easily located. A principal part of the progress made in the extinguishment of fires is the accuracy with which alarms are given and the promptness of the apparatus in reaching the spot. Anything that locates a fire and reduces the time of getting into ser vice is of real yalue.
