Fire in New Hampshire.

Manchester, N. H., December 20.
--At five o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the New Hampshire House of Reformation, located two miles from this city, and destroyed all but the brick walls.

The inmates, one hundred and twenty in number, were rescued, although most of them were asleep when the fire commenced, and the flames spread rapidly under high wind.

The inmates, excepting eight or ten who made their escape, were removed to the stock-house connected with the farm.

The buildings were insured for $20,000. The loss amounted to $40,000.
