night a,lamp exploded in one ,of the bed
rooms ?f Dr. Reeve's house, and set fire to
the curtains ; it was discovered by a per-
son passing on the outside, who gave the
alarm, and thereby prevented what might
have been much more serious. The em-
ployees of every stored town seemed to
be as " busy as bees" on Saturday, and it
was not until a very late"`hour at night,
that many of them were able to close up.

forth. Mr. B.. Thomas, who had just re-
turned to work after an accident, again
disabled himself, by cutting his hand.—
