 There came near being a big fire on Magill street this noon, when blaze started in the barn of William Me Grath and threatened to spread to ad- joining buildings. Two alarms were sent iu, one from box 6 and another from box 51. This was explained by the person who sent in the second alarm, who said that he was not aware that the other box had been pulled. This shows the necessity of the big gong that told the whole community when there was fire, while under existing conditions few know any thing about such occurrences. The blaze. was extinguished, but not before 1t did considerable damage to the building and contents. It is supposed that the fire reached the barn from nearby lot where a crowd of young sters were burning refuse.

Now, from what we see and hear we wonder if he is one Of that Damn family we have been reading about. Who knows but that he may be in disguise. but from all accounts 1T he doesn't start in drinking the kind of drinks we sell he'll leave our city and leave it with few lines of poetry the same as the organ grinder did thus:
