Saturday evening about nine oclock the National hotel was discover ed to be afire in the atticJand by the time the incipient blaze could be located and extinquished the building and con tents were damaged in a sum approxi mating 1000 about equally divided be tween furniture and building Tho fire evidently originated in the west attic in a bed room but as no one was occupying chat part of the building it is not known how The loss is almost entirely from water the fire doing but slight damage It is very probable that a few fire extinguish ers used by the fire department would save much damage at times in interior fires like this one A considerable part of the hotel will have to be plastered papered and paint ed This loss together with that to furniture is covered by insurance but quite a heavy loss in business will result which Mr Bosworth will have to stand himself Repairs are being rushed with all pos sible speed Merry Christmas will soon be here and you will want to prepare
