Alarms of fire.

--An alarm of fire was caused on 20th street on Wednesday by the chimney of the residence of Col. George W. Willis setting fire to the roof. The alarm being given, it was speedily extinguished. On Wednesday night, about 2 o'clock, Watchmen duke and Bradford discovered the smokehouse of Mr. Chas. Bates, on Clay street, to be on fire. They were so fortunate as to put out the flames without the necessity of calling out the fire department.
