An Unn ecessary Alarm.

Some reckless individual sounded an
alarm of fire about o'clock this morn
ing, from signal box No. 81, at Fourth
and Broome streets, which was entiraly
uncall@d for, as the fire was only q
slight one at Aliens brick yard and
easily extinguished with a small hose
In consequence the entire department.
responded, but their services were not
needed. Some mode should be adopted
whereby an alarm should not be struck
when such small blaZe occurs and
there is no danger.
