On Friday night last, about 11:30, a tire was observed in a three house terrace, on York-st., owned by Mr. J. C. Arm- strong, but unoccupied.

The tire broke out twice dur- ing the night, but only a few pails of water were required to extinguish it. Mr. Armstrong was working in one of the houses during the afternoon and the blaze probably started from a stove in which a small fire was burning when he shut up. He values the building at $1500, places his loss at $1200 and has an insu ‘ance of $800 in the Royal Canadian . . . . .Aseeond fire took place on Saturday night when a dwelling in the East ward, occupied by Mr. D.
