 Last Monday night an alarm of fire was given that brought out the greater part of the inhabitants of the town. It took quite time to ascertain the source of the fire, but at length it devel- oped that it was in the warehouse of Lovin & Withers, on Front Street. A number of soap boxes were afire and but for the timely arrival of L. Hoff- man with a chemical extinguisher, it is probable that the place would have been destroyed. The damage was slight. The fire was caused by a clerk leaving lighted candle on the box and when it burned down the box was set on fire.
