Fire broke out, at the Hotel Nor melte about three o'olock last i'ri ay morning and but for its easily iscovery er Y by Ir. Gabe Elliott, who s a liveryman has to keep all sorts f hours and noticed smoke issuing rom the building as hewasreb.irrrng longe, the hotel would in all pro'ia- bility have Veen completely gutted, if not entirely destroyed. On arousing the inmates Gabe rang the alarm bell and the brigade quick- ly responded and under the direction of C:hitf Downs two lines of hose were laid and soon the flames were under subjection, not, however, before the centre of the building had been badly burned. The flames Om burst th•iugh the pacidtion next the pool room and Mr. Marshall's stock suffered consider- able damage from smoke and water. The,loss on his start': is covered by an surance, but he will be considerably out by, the intun. uption of business. The short time which elapsed be- tween the sounding of tree alarm and the playing of the water upon the fire again illustrated the value of the wa0.;nworks system.
