A few minutes before half-past four o'clock Tuesday morning the alarm ot' lire was given, ami in a lew minutes'a stroug stream of water was playing upon the fire which had been found in some outbuilding? on the premises of Mrs. ( '. B. Murray. Thc buildings were almost completely consumed sine?; the lire had gained considerable headway, throwing a bright glow upon the sky. before, it was discovered. If the fire men had not acted with their usual promptness the. Joss might have been more serious, because the buildings were very near the residence, ll is supposed that some night prow ha* was visiting thc henroost, and having struck a light to see the chickens, carelessly threw the match among the wood, which was stored near by, and thus causing the eoiiilngraton.
