FIRE-ALMOST.  On last Friday night our usually quiet town was thrown into
sudden commotion by the cry of "fire."  In a few minutes the streets were
filled with people, and hastening along with the crowd to the quarter from
whence the alarm proceeded, it was discovered that the chimney of MR.
CARPENTER'S house was emitting a large bright flame, caused by the burning of
soot, which had accumulated in it.  Fortunately there was no wind stirring at
the time, else considerable damage might have been done by the fire.  As it
was, nothing was injured.
