The stables of the Anglo- American Hotel caught fire on Thursday last from a spai^ from a chimney. A very disastrous fire would have been the result had it not been discovered in time. As it was a large hole was burnt in the roof. A cneket match between the upper town men and the lower town men on Monday last, resulted iri a victory for the latter by three runs. A tremendous hail storm oyer this place on Monday. On Friday last the afternoon freight train ran off the track near the station. As the van went bumping over the ties^ you should have seen the passen- ge« (a number of commercial men, and the Inspector of Weights and seen the fire diort time the majority tf thecitixens were on hand, but too late to save the building, which was speedily consum- ed, together with theblackamith shop and warehouse adjoining whiob also belonged to Mr. Watson. Scarcely any thing was saved except the eon- tents of tiie ware^house, sndi as the hearse, coffins, etc. Had it not been for the well aimed exertions of those present in saving Mr. Johnson's dwdlingonthe West. .rtogeUier wish e£Kot of the wind ' shifting west- ward at the time, the post office, telegraph office and Crown hotel wouM certainly have been laid low by the devouring element, in feet that side.(rf the street could scarcely have escaped throughout westward. Messrs. Watson's loss will amount to f 2,000, partially insured in the Gore district their loss will be about $1,000 over the insurance. The origin of the fire I is a mystery as the woi lanen are not smokers, and there has been no fire in the building^or some time. ;( ISAAC BuHtfUf and CwatiHD^»f In |J1 lon^f of J^ick ud Stone vvrk.
