On Thursday night last another attempt was
made TO communicate fire to portion of the City.
The fire had been placed under the Dwelling
House occupied by Mr.. Samuel M. Whitaker, Jr,,
and when discovered, was burning rapidly. A
few minutes longer, and the building would GER
tainly have been consumed. Fortunately, how
ever, gentleman happened to be passing, who
aroused the family, and with his assistance, the
flames were extinguished, without having done
serious injury. i- ID


These repeated attempts to fire the City admon-
ish US that we have among US persons who will
scruple at nothing which may promise them plum
der or gain. Let each citizen keep vigllant eye
upon his premises; and let the City Guard, if
practicable, be enlarged. 1t would be better to
pay additional taxes for double Guard, or for
the citizens themselves to turn out alternately in
small Companies to guard their property, than it
would be to stand in imminent danger, as they
probably now. do, of seeing destructive fire let
loose upon the City. Gan ounce of prevention
is better than pound Of cure" ~
