Information has been asked TYe- cently through the columns of the Whig, regarding the location of the buildings which were destroyed in the fire of 1856. An old resident of the city has very kindly informed the Whig, that it occurred at about the Same loca- tion as the 1867 fire. A large dwell- ing house situated about where the Palace Candy Shop is now located on Princess street was destroyed by the fire. A large stone house, situ- ated whers Luckin's butcher shop now stands, containing a dwelling and a store and owned by a man by the name of Bruce, was also one of the buildings destroyed. At that time there was a large common on Broek street, which stretched from the Roman Catholic church down to where Dr. W. A. McCarthy's house is now situated. The Whig's formant states that | the incident was particularly im- pressed on his mind because of the fact that at the time of the fire, one of the firemen disappeared and the populace dragged the wells for his body.
