The fire spread with great rapidity, : in a short little the house was envelop- co in llamas. the neighbours soon gather" ed round, and efforts were made to re- move the furniture, but although they . worked with great energy, they only suc- coeded in savinz‘ a small partion of the houscliole goods. The adjacent stables, with all the live stock and a number of carriages and sleiglis, escaped the ravages of the devouring element. The residence Was a very fine one, and Mr. Muuon‘s loss cannot be less than between £900 and £1.000, but we regret to learn that the premises were only partially insured. The bells in the city rang out the alarm, and some. ofthe tire companies ran as. far'ns Brockâ€"street, but observing that the fire was some distance from the city they re-r turned to their stationsâ€"Globe.
