whole CITY in commotion. A second general
alarm caused still greater CONSERVATION. The

bodied men in the city hurried to the scene.
The Fire Department, with their engine lad

promptly on hand, and, aided by the citizens,
soon gof the FIRE under control. The furni-
ture establishment was frame structure, and
had in it paints, oils and varnish7s, besides o

Mr.. Grouse estimates his loss at about
$1OOO-SS00 on the furniture establishment
and 5000 on bis brick dwelling. Mr.. Gerke
had his furniture considerably damaged by
sEater and removal, as did also Mr.. Doyle.
The dwelling of the latter was not very much
damaged All parties wereinsured in the Baltl-
more County Company, and for the following
amounts-Ira Z. Grouse, $4,000 on bindings
and stock; John Gerke, $50 on furniture;
Hugh Doyle, 81, 800 on building, and 500 on
furniture.

Had the city been without them, as 1t had
been for number of years prior to 1879, the
destruction of property must have been great.
But for them, the flames in all probability
would have swept the north side of Main ST.

A correspondent Of the Snos Hill AeSssA.
ger SAYS On Monday last. the inhabitants
Of Ocean City had an opportunity Of witness
ing one Of the grandest sights ever seen on
this coast. and one which may not occur again
for centuries. | refer to the Immense field of
ice which came in shore here. On Sunday
morning we could discern a faint line of ice
Ear out al sea, which, as the day advanced,
came IN nearer to the shore. At sunset on
Sunday we coald see, by the aid Of glasses,
thai the ice field opposite was from two TO
three miles wide and reached beyond our
sight, both up and down the beach. Daring
Sunday night the entirc mass came in shore,
and Monday morning the ocean presented 3
view Of arctic scenery never expected 10 be
seen by any one living in this latitude. The
ice foe reached out from shore about three
miles, and was apparently about three Of four
feet thick, while on the surface huge masses
could be seen, sometimes 1--WE and six feet
high Old Oceans roar was for once silent
The roll of the swells could be seen, but no
noise accompanied them, except the grinding
aud crushing sound OF the ice. Taken alto
gether, it was the graRdest and most desolate
scene we have ever witnessed. Pietures of
arctic scenery will lose their interest 10 us
hereafter. We have, barring the animals,
seen the reality. The sight was a rare one,
and drew the people from off the mainland to
witness it, and several parties came down
from Berlin TO take look at the frozen main.
