fre.-Our citizens were alarmed by the cry of fire on Thursday morning last, about one o'clock. It broke out in the brick building occupied as t gToee- ", corner of Elm and Front streets.-- Its origin is ascrihed to some defect in the stove pipe. This building with the warehouse and stable attached, theprop erty of Mir. Whetstone, were consun-. ed, with an adjacent frame building, owned by Mir. Mansfield; no insurance, loss estimated at about S3,000. The night was one of uncommon severity.-- The morning previous there was warm rain, the streets almost impossible, and yet at noon, so sudden was the change, they were frozen quite hard. The ex. ertions of the fire companies have re. eeived general commentators.

 It is with great regret, we are obliged to record the death of an estinaable fel- low citizen, NIT. James Armstrong, at- tached to the fire company. He was among the foremost in his attempts to subdue the raging fire, when an erpio- saon gr akeg of get,a pozuder ID the Groee- ry, threw down one of the partition walls and nearly buried him in it's ruins. At- tempts were made to extricate him, but 90 intense was the heat of the fire, that for a while they were unavailing. Sep. erai gentlemen, to their great credit De # said, rlsked their own lives in these laudahle efforts. hut nearly halfan hour elapsed before they succeeded. He was taken alive indeed, only to endure for few hours the most excruciating suffer. ings. Mir. Armstrong has left q u.fs ano. four clsildren.
