 RULES, *, 
 
 A' S every Institution calculated to relieve the difiressed, and 
 £j|^ avert the calamities attendant on accidental 'iS well at other 
 ni;fortunes, has been in every age and country, seconded by the 
 cofdial approbation of mankind in general, so the design of estab- 
 lishing a Union Fire Club in this place, being that of saving from 
 entire destruction, the property -of our fellow-men, when threaten- 
 ed by fire, the good will and encouragement of the Inhabitants of 
 Fredericton, is anticipated in aid of this object ; and thoug i this 
 Town has hitherto provideutially escaped the ravages of fire, yet 
 we often hear of its awful effects in other parts ©f the World, and 
 must be sensible that here, also, we are constantly indaingerfrom it. 
 That as fir^^s always break out unexpectedly) and are not easily ex- 
 tinguished, but rage with great violence and increasing rapidity a- 
 motigst wooden buildings, an imn»en»ity of property may in a few 
 hojurs, be reduced to ashes. The houses, furniture and goods of 
 the merchant and others, thus destroyed, may suddenly be the cause 
 of many years embarrassment and distress to individuals of every 
 class. The attention therefore of the Club, individually, as well 
 39 collectiveJy} is htreby earnestly called to a consideration of therr
