An alarming instance of spon

in this place on Wednesday ev
ening last.
At a quarter before eight o'
clock, our citizens were alarm
ed by the cry of fire which prov
ed to have originated in the
stable on the premises occupied
by Mr. Joseph Goodman. This
gentleman had eight or ten days
ago packed 5 or 6000 pounds
of Fodder in the house, and as
the building was not used for
any other purpose than for hol

accident occurred from sponta
