BOWMAN Fire

NEARLY A BLAZE- On Monday night last, Mr. and Mrs. Bowman, Bald street, left their house to come down town to see the fireworks; while absent, the children, it is supposed, were playing with fire-crackers setting fire to the carpet in one of the rooms. Mr. Nichols, who boarded there, chancing to come in just in time, stopped the blaze and thus saved the house, contents, and perhaps the lives of the children.
