the fire department and quite crowd to
Alto street, where the shed of small frame
house owned by Lewis Brown and occupied
by Mrs Sylvester and her son was blazing
merrily. The department responded with
it's usual promptness, but the travelling was
heavy aud the hill steep one, and the fire
was well underway by the time they got
the hose stretched. The wind was in such
quarter that the Mason house on the
opposite side of the street was in danger
from the sparks, and the fremen gave the
roof thorough wetting. The furniture
and household goods owned by the Sylves-
ters were removed by friends and neigh
bOrs, but were somewhat damaged. Their

The building was total loss, as only the

ings is estimated at 500, partially insured.
