Thursday, January 8, 1885

              At about 3 o'clock last Saturday morning the
            Commercial Hotel, at Depere, was seriously damaged
            by fire, which caught from a chimney. It was owned
            and kept by Capt. SPAFFORD, and Mrs. S. happened
            to be visiting in Ft. Howard at the time. When
            the fire was discovered, it had got such a start
            in the walls that it was difficult to check it.
            The entire roof was burned off, the walls of the
            upper story about destroyed and those of the lower
            story seriously damaged. Most of the furniture in
            the upper story was lost and that below badly
            damaged. The general opinion is that it would
            have been better for Capt. SPAFFORD had the en-
            tire building burned. We understand that there
            was an insurance of $3,000 on the building and
            $1,000 on the contents.
