Woodbury nearly had destructive
 fire. last week. George F. Crane had
 rented Miss K. M. Woodruff's house,
 October l. He made fire in the fire
 place to warm the house for moving in from his house, lately sold, next door.
 On closing the house at night, the fire
 was put out, the ashes swept up and the
 hearth sprinkled with water. Notwith-
 standing this caution, fire had connected
 through the hearth with the flooring and timbers below and smouldered till next morning. When the house was opened, it was full of smoke and fire was blazing up around the hearth. A hand force pump was procured and the flames quick iy extinguished. The damage was not large, but. in a few minutes, the fire would have been beyond control. 1t is impossible to guess how many other | buildings would have been swept away | in this most thickly settled part of the village. Woodbury Is defenceless against fire and is most exposed to it's ravages after Litchfield and New Milford. With a high wind, a fire commencing where | this did might sweep the best part of the village. including the Town Hall, First church, Parker Academy, parsonage
 property, Episcopal church, post office | block and the crowded row of houses to Masonic lodge. Your correspondent and others have often sounded the alarm that should be felt at our danger, but there is no response, not even the purchase of a dozen fire buckets.
