An alarm from box 54 last evening at about half past eight o'clock, called out an excited and eager mob of students, who rushed along in headlong haste, expecting to see Memorial Hall already in the resistless arms of the devouring element. After a delay of some minutes, it was discovered that the upper part of the house of Mr. Charles W. Sever, 12 Frisbie Place, was on fire. Engine No. 1 was the first to get to work, and was able to supply enough water without further assistance from the other engines. Inspired by the applause of hand-clapping of students and denizens of Cambridge, the firemen of Engine No. 1 soon had the flames under their control, and the fire was extinguished.
