Agreeaby to our note off the last
week we had intended to have given a
more particular account of the awful
conflagration which has desolated so
great a part of this late flourifhing
town, and to have attempted a descrip
tion of the affrightening scene. But its
effects and changes have found so much
employment for our heads and hands,
and those ofour correspondents that-we
have found it impossible to fulfil our
intentions. We must, therefore, refer
our readers to the account we have al
ready publifhedi only fubjbirdng that
in rapidity of progress, extent of deso
lation, and destruction orproperty, the
scene has not been,exceeded,if.equalled
in any part of our country.
(,With real pleasure we informour
readers that the liberal and munificent
disposition of our country friends is now
(hewing itfelfin forwarding into town
such neceflaries as Wood, Provision,
and Cash, as donations to cheer the
fufferers.—Nine loaded waggons were
yeflerday drove in from Greenland.
Messrs. Treadwells,
There are various cruel reports cir
culated in the country that the fuffier
ers by the late dreadful calamity which
has befallen this town, do not wi(h the
affiftauce.and relief of their brethren
in thecountry and adjacent towns. —
These reports are cruel and falfe, and/
must be raised by fuch' persons whbfe
meanness and covtteoufftfr will hot ad
mit of their giving their mite ungrudg
ingly.
Therefore I wilt you to publish in#
your next Oracle that the fmaHeft as.
finance and relief por^blc, will be re
ceived with thankfulnefs and gratitude.
A SUFFERER.

ffiat of an individual, whole life, spent in re
tirement,can exhibit to his intimates alone those
qualities, which are endearing and valuable, is
the part of friendship ; which, while it deleue
atea a character as worthy,of imitation, is coun
tenanced by cotton, inoucupyiog a place in the
aewfpaper, and while loathed hy.the contem
plation of acknowledged worth, it indulges a #
hope, that thus to deliniatc will afford fame
consolation tomoovning relatives — Mr. Toto
Evan:, merchant, died on the 27th of Dec.
1803, in the agd ycatof hit age. The conduct
of his youth, as it progressed towards manhood,
was amiable. Os an unaffumingmind,, he ar
rogated no merit to tiimfelf ; yet he was ever
cheerful, affectionate, .courteous to all ; and in
the character#ofAOociate, Friend, Brother and
Son, was tmuly exemplary. Asa man, Alas !.
he conld give but the promise of future ufefub
uefs, by that active attention to laudable pur
suits, and 'that sense of moral principal, which
governing bis actions, evinced the man of ba#
tincfs and the gentleman.
Asachriftian, he was eminent for piety ; happy
in his social relations, .he fought not, in feenefr
of ciffipationforfhat peace,which falfe pleafures
cannot afford ; but he possessed in himfelf a
farce of unfpeaitable fatisfadion; a principle,
which, directing him in the ways of wisdom,
produced/ pleasantness, and which attending
him to the bed of sickness, fapported him under
a tedious confinement and various trying cir>
cumftancesf and although worn by disease, his
fluttered frame trembled in pain, a complaining
word never palled his lips. His dying pillow,
.smoothed by, that hand which to disarmed
death of his terrors, was grateful to repose—
That all merciful promise, "Be thou.faithful
unto death^nd I will give thee a crown of life,"
hud afforded comfort and support in every vi
cissitude of time, and, at the elofing feene, sees,
fioned that peace and joy, which affords full
confidence to the hope of an happy exiftance
in a boundless eternity
