Fire.

--The alarm of fire yesterday was caused by the burning of a lot of clothing in a garret room of Mr. Charles W. Allen'a residence, on 7th street, between Grace and Franklin. Before the fire was discovered it had communicated to the roof of the house, and the building would have been destroyed but for the prompt interposition of the firemen. As it was, the flames were extinguished before other damage was done than the burning of a small hole in the roof, and the destruction of some bed-clothing. The fire is believed to have been caused by an incendiary, and for more than a week no fire has been used in the house.
