FIRE.
At (i few mimics past ti o'clock this afternoon the. fire bells pave the usual notice of a fire ra<*in£, which proved to be at the timber yards ol Mr Daniel Keese. It appears to have originated in tho engine room, some sparks from the firo falling on a lot of shavings and other inflammable matter left in too dangerous proximity to the furnace. Fortunately, it was tikrn in time, and the judicious uso of a few buckets of water prevented what might have othcrwjae been a serious conflagration. The Fire Brigade, with their usual promptitude, mustered in force, bringing the Lichfield slreot engine, the services of which, however, were not required. Under the direction of
Mr Superintendent Harris, all danger was speedily at an end. A squad of police in charge of Sergeant Wilson, were on the spot immediately after the alarm was given.
