expense in making it a perfect house. Its large rooms are we'll lighted and ven- tilated and nearly every room supplied with fire place the same as our fore fathers used, which are the best ventila- tors a room can have and which every living room in city home should have. The large kitchen, buffers pantry, ser vants' apartments are fitted with every modern convenience. The house is heat ed by hot air from an immense furnace in the cellar, which has received many coats of whitewash until it looks as clean as many parlor. From large cupola on the roof, to which access is gained by an easy flight of stairs, a good view of the city can be obtained. All the rooms are painted and papered in neat and pret- ty colors and, when completed, it will make one of the most desirable homes in the western part of the city. MT Pierce has concluded to remain in his own resi- dence and will probably offer this to any one wishing to purchase or lease com fOrtable home.

 A double house is building on Housa- tonic avenue, just above the Aluminium works.
 Two incendary fires, Friday morning, within short distance, both set under the kitchen stairs in the basement; the work of a fire bug or crank. The first was discovered about 30 by MT Thomp- son in the east half of the house on At lantic street at the foot of Warren, occu- pied by Mrs Harlowe. Prompt work put out the fire, which had only charred the stairs and destroyed $40 baby carriage and some clothing. Mrs Harlowe remem- bers leaving the basement door unlocked. Shortly before ,, an alarm was rung from a fire at the double house at B and 25 Warren street, which had been started about the same time. The interior of the house was gutted. Three engines gained control of the fire before the house was totally destroyed. The south half of the house had been vacant for several weeks and there the fire started. It is owned by Mir Eggleston of Torrington and will have to be almost entirely rebuilt. The north half was occupied, downstairs, by James Wilson, whose goods, some of which were saved, were insured; up stairs, by Michael Lee and wife, who have been married but few months and who lost nearly all their furniture, which was not insured. MT Lee has been out of work for some weeks. This part of the house is owned by MT Frake, whose loss will not be heavy. Both Messrs friends.
