Fire Again.--- Another fire in Fairfield. It occurred on Tuesday last, about 4 o’clock, at the house of Mr. N. S.

When discovered the kitchen was a-blaze. A large force was on the ground and the flames were soon extinguished, The kitchen and part of the main building were badly damaged. Loss about $200.
