THE FIRE.

The fire yesterday afternoon proved to be a small barn attached to the stables of P. F. Barnum, Esq, on Church street, in rear of his residence on Main. The flames were first dis covered by Capt. John Brooks who at the time was fixing his grape vines in the adjoining yard. He at once gave the alarm, which was responded to with great alacrity by the whole fire department, through whose almost su- perhuman exertions, the flames were kept from catching the other build ings near by. The loss sustained by MT. Barnum is, we understand, about $15O, there being no insurance. The cause of the fire is unaccounted for, and remains a mystery.

Thursday morning while Messrs. Lewis Coe and John B. Edwards of Stratford, were catching white fish, off the mouth of our harbor, a large shark seized one of MT. Goes hands, giving him a severe and painful in jury, the flesh and muscles being ter ribly Iacerated. The shark was about six feet long, and would be an ugly customer to meet in the water.

is planned to make 1t as attractive as
possible.
The sidewalks have been marked
out and the work of laying these
has been commenced. Concrete mix
ers were on the job this morning and
the walks on both sides Of the streets
will be put down. The iron railing at
the end of the roadway as II crosses
the former sidewalk space has been
installed and Ia painted green.
Work on the bridge Is fast nearing
It's close and the new structure can
be opened soon for traffic along the
second deck, it Is assured. The paw.
ing gangs are at work and the creo-
sote blocks are being laid along the
upper deck as rapidly as possible.
