for a coniagration to-day. During the
high wind which prevailed part of the
day, q spark from an adjacent st~ove-pipe
was blown onto the canvas roof Of an adj

fire. Its immediate discovery by q
neighbor. who gave the alarm, alone
saved the premises from destruction and
prevented a heavy loss Of property. for
the burning Of that building ut the time
would necessarily have involved the loss
OF others in the vicinity.
