FIRE AT EDMONTON.—Late on Thursday ofecinif a most destructive fire happened at the homestead of 1•• Board, at Edmonton, within a few yards of the line of the Eastern Counties Railway. It was discovered in a barn, well stocked with agricultural implements and corn ; and ere assistance could arrive to check its progress at so early a stage, the flames extended over the whole building. The first object of those drawn to the spot was to rescue tile horses from a range of stabling which adjoined the barn; this effected, similar precautions were adopted for the preservation of the other portion of the live stock, and the Cattle being secured from danger, vigorous attempts were made to subdue the flames. Owing to the direction of the wind, however, two large clover stacks and one of wheat became ignited, the whole presenting a fearful conflagration. Engines from Edmonton, Enfield, and neighbouring parishes were promptly brought to the spot, and a good supply of water being procured from a ditch, they were got into effectual operation. By cutting off the communication persons were put off to between the barn and stabling, the latter was preserved, though considerably injured, and the progress of the fire was stopped in that direction. At the other end the vast torrents of water thrown by the engines prevented contigious buildings being destroyed, and by reicloi',at the fire was repressed, although the wreck of the. t;,:n and stacks kept blazing up throughout the night, ene.. even up to a late hour yesterday afternoon. The less is very hhavy; the proprietor, however, is understood to be insured. The origin i unknown.
