Alarm of Fire,

Last evening, about twenty minutes past
seven O'Clock, a local alarm was souOded
from FlremaR's Hall, which brought out the
engines on duty very promptly. The gong
in the Barlow engine room sounded station
II, corner Of Jefferson aud Bay streets, and
thither the tiremen fastened. No signs Of
a fire were to be found, however, and they
retired. The wires leading into the box
were, It appears, played upon by the
lightning, which wss incessants and the
alarm was thus sounded.
We learn from Chief Butler that the Ere
alarm telegraph has been greatly l. jured
the past week by electricity DURING
the thunder storms, the wires in some OF
the boxes being completely twisted aud
burned. On Saturday the Superintendent
was around getting the diff rent circuits in
