On Tuesday afternoon a fire occurred at the residence of Mr O. Potts, on the Don Road which demolished two rooms of the building, dairy and shed, and destroyed three iron bedsteads, bedding, children’s clothes, carpenters tools, harness and all the eatables in the house. The fire originated through a spark from a burning tree lodging in the roof and igniting the canvas, and Mr Potts is a heavy loser. We are requested to specially thank Mr. Leigh for the assistance rendered by him in subduing the conflagration.
