Crabbe, of Fredericton, Lot 67, was, last night, consumed by fire; and it is believed the fire was set by an incendiary. Mrs.Cra' be and her family retired early. Mr. Crabbe was absent from home at the time. Shortly after retiring Mrs. Crabhe heard @ noise in the rear of the horse, but, as itis situated in a public part ot Fredericton, she paid nv attention to it, thinking it was made by some parties pass- ing A few minutes later some cne knocked at the front door and Mrs. Crabbe arose. On reaching the front door, she heard burning wood crackling in the rear. She immediately ran to tbe residence of George Ferris, opposite, for assistance. teturning with Mr. Ferris, she found the house on fire. After rescuing the children they gave the alarm,and removed the furri- ture, but the fire had taken full possession of the building, and it was, therefore, im- possible to save it. It was consumed together with the warehouse. The fire was, no doubt, the work of an incendiary. When Mr. Ferris arrived on the scene he found a strong smell of Kero- cene. Tue house was a medium sized two story flat roofed wooden building. It was in- sured for $1,690 in the Queen Insurance Company. oe Commercial Travellers’ Entertain- ment IN AID OF THE GEORGETOWN LIBRARY—A SUCCESS. SCHOOL Tue Commercial Travellers detained at Georgetown during the past few days, gave a variety entertainment in the Hall of the Georgetown public school last evening in aid of the school library. It was managed by Mr. Fairbairn, whose splendid voice and musical accomplishments largely contributed to its success Among the performers were our old friend, Finlay McNeill, Esq., who recited several poems; Mr, McDermott, whose rendition of ‘‘Scots Wa’ Hae” drew forth an encore; and Messrs. Rubin and McRobbie, of St. Jolin. The entertainment lasted two hours, and was heartily enjoyed by all present. The amount realized was $30, and was handed over to the school trustees for the above purpose. Ajter the entertainment a quadrille party was held, and a most en- joyable time was spent. li i A LO ALL Our Advertisers. Ww. & A. Brown & Co., are holding a great clearance sale. A.
