Residence Burnt. On last Sunday, about one o'clock in the day, fire was discovered on the roof of, the dwelling of Capt. James A. Graham in this town by Mr. Peter Long who was on his way from church.

The alarm was given, but too late to be of service in sating the building. The wind was blowing quite briskly, and lie flames rapidly spread over the entire roof. The house was soon abandoned, as it was seen that with absolutely no appliances for extinguishing fire, all eflorts to save it would be fruitless. The furniture was sf ved, but imich damaged in the hurry and excitement of its removal. The outbuildings were all saved.

All, both black and white, lent a willing hand, and did what it was pos. sible to be done, and all sincerely sympathize with Capt. Graham in his mis. fortune. The house Avas one of the best dwellings in our village, and was sur- 1UUUUCU Willi 1 ally ail uijaum in ery, much ot which was destroyed, and more injured.

-Unfortunately there was no. insurance. Capt. Graham's loss is about three thousand dollars. The fire must have originated from a spark from the chimney.
