kins had lighted a large hanging lamp and
placed it on the desk in his store for the pur-
pose of doing some writing. He had occasion
to leave few minutes to speak with some
friends in the house, and accidentally looking.
out of the window he saw an unusual light in
the store. He ran as quickly as possible, fol-
lowed by j. T.. Porter and Miss Laura Thorn
as. When reaching the store, he discovered
the blaze from the lamp streaming up sufff-
GENTLY to blacken and coal both the ceiling
and walls near. Thoughtlessly he grasped
the lamp to carry it Out-of-doors, when the
heat being so intense. he was obliged to drop
it, breaking the lamp and scattering the con-
tents, OIL and flame, all about. 1t was a
period of excitement, but a pail of water
seized by Miss Thomas and deity thrown
checked the flame and placed it under control

the streets, bells We're rung and excited crowds
were Fastening to the scene, when word came
that their services were not needed This is
the third time, we believe, that Mr.. Atkins
has had occasion to suppress the flames in
his own store. He thinks now it is three
times and out" Hispresent loss is estimated
at nearly 5000 in damage to the building and
injury to goods. He will sell his injured
goods at a merely nominal price and get a
little something out of them
