The Union steamer and the Fleet Wing H.
& l.. Co., Of Lanbertville, and the Eagle, Of
New Hope, were promptly on hand to render
what service they could in subduing the
flames.
The fire at the lower end OF the town was
found to be the stock house of the Union
Paper Mills, a largo frame connected with the
main building. The firemeu were so bewil-
dercd they scarcely knew which course to
take, as 1t seemed both ends Of the village

amazed to fnd so large an amount Of property
being destroyed, while their engine was not
in good working order and could not be gotten
into action. The Hook and Ladder Company

their noble work. In meantime, the Eagle
boys were Busy with the upper FIRE. Their
engine worked splendidly ana reflects great
credit ON the company.
