LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
DR.. G. F. Camps House Gutted by
Flames.

Fire broke out in DIR. c. f. Camps
house on Washington street last night
somewhere between ll.3O and mid
night. The barn was burned to ru-
inS and the rear of the house was
practically burned while the smoke
and water caused considerable loss to
the remainder of the building.
The fire was discovered by the Doc
tor at about minutes before y
when he went to the rear of the
house to prepare the furnace fire for
the night. He semlled smoke and on
going through to the woodshed which
connects the house with-the barn he
was met by bank of flames. He al
armed the rest of the family who had
gone to bed and then went to the
barn from the outside. He succeeded
in rescuing his two horses and some
harnesses but buggy and sleigh
were consumed.
Meantime his son Arthur ran to the
city Nall corner and rang the alarm
and the fire department responded
with remarkable alacrity. Hose Co.
No. came first, No. 3 followed, the
Hooks next and soon after them the
company from North Barre.
The boys worked with great system
and skill and very soon had the blaze
under control so that they prevented
the living portion of the house from
being Injured by the flames, except a
part Of the kitchen and sleeping
room above it.
1t is evident that it all started in a
corner of the woodshed, but in what
manner no one knows.
The damage done was quite extern
sive. The barn and woodshed were
destroyed and the sell" part of the
house will probably have to be taken
down. The carpets in the living part
of the house were badly soaked, as
was also that portion Of the furniture
which it was impossible to remove,
while the ceilings and walls present a
sad spectacle.
The property was insured for $4,000.

eaI ear siyeT m0eev New New YORK; YoER 5sh

NEW YORK, April 1871, Business on the
stock exchange today 1apsed into a con-
dition of dullness and abandonment to
the operations of small professional
traders. Much angry recrimination con-
tinues to be heard on all sides concern
ing the bear raid on the iron and steel
stocks. Not only In the stock market,
but In the iron trade as well, accusations
of bad faith and double dealing are
banded about. All other authorities in
the trade disagree with the views of
and Wire company, but the Iron Age
says in its review of the subject: mo
sharp trouble in values is expected unless
this development in the wire trade should
produce such an effect 1t is the reser-
vation thus expressed that has so effect
ually upset the speculative world. pe@ierS
in securities kept one eye on the iron
and steel stocks all day and the cratic
and irregular movements in that group
kept the whole market In feVerish and
uncertain state. When pressure there was
relaxed there was a disposition manifest
to mark up prices elsewhere, but the
burden of selling met on the advance
gave an appearance of a desire to realize
on an extensive scale and took the
snap out of the market.
On the other hand, the majority Of
stocks offered decreased materially on a
considerable decline, giving an under
tone of firmness to prices. Notable
Baltimore & Ohio stocks, and on the
other hand, Southern Pacific suffered
from decided weakness. The one move
ment had about as much effect on the
general list as the other. The sharp ad-
vance in the metal stocks which followed
the declines after the opening was ac-
companied by rise late in the day to
the best prices. But when these stocks
and Sugar gave way the whole list fol-
lowed, and the closing was active and
easy, considerably below the best. Sugar.
after selling up as high as 1854, closed
at a net lHss Of 2 points.
The news of the day was generally tg-
nored. It included a number Of strong
statements of earnings for the second
week in April, and appreciably by soft
combinations of railroad systems con-
tinue prevalent. The Chicago, Indianap-
oils & Louisville is now said to be des-
tined for absorption by the South rail-
way. and there are stories Of Vanderbilt
buying of Wabash securities. The South
roads are formed into various combina-
tions by the rumor mongers.
The small amount Of foreign proxies
voted at the New York Central annual
meeting was regarded as significant Of
the recent foreign selling Of high-prfced
ward movement of exchange which con-
tinues today Money continues easy and
a strong bank statement on Saturday is
considered assured. Gel
