FIRE At MARr1NsBuRG.-At half-past

FIRE AT MARTINsBURG.-At half-Past
one o'clock Sunday night, or rather
Monday morning, the startling cry OF
fire ran 3 through the streets. 1t &C.
CURED at an hour when almost every
body was wrapped in slumber, and
some minutes elapsed before there was
q general response to the alarm, and by
this time the fire. which originated
in Ulums blacksmith shop, in build
ing owned by Mr.. VIM. F. Geyer, and
partially used by him for storing car,
riages, &c, was in sheet OF lurld
flame. This building adjoins MIR.
Geyer's finishing shop, carriage black
smith shops AMI livery stables, all frame
buildings. The fight was to save these
buildings, and the stable of Messrs.
Fisher & Fisk, on the south side. The
frame building in which the fire origi-
mated was entirely consumed, and the
second story of Mr.. Geyers finishing
shop badly damaged, but the other
surrounding buildings were saved with
slight injury.
Mr.. Geyer lost number OF new
sleighs, and several second hand bug
gies and carriages, lot of material,
&c, besides the entire destruction OF
one building and damage to the other.
He has noty yet been able TO fully ascertain
the amount of his loss, which, we learn,
is fully covered by insurance.
Mr.. w. +. Geyer had both his hands
badly burned while working at the fire,
trying to save his property.
From all that can be learned in re-
gard to the matter, it is fully evident
that the fire was the work of an incen-
