THE LATE FIRE AT CHICHERELL.
Bm,—A 63rd man, whose faostious letter appeared
in your columns last week luta, in several pertionhus,
acrasiderably exceeded the bounds of truth. It is
jot true that the Chickerell men laughed at the 53rd
and called them a parcel of fools, for getting them-
selves dirty and muddy for nothing. Neither is it
true that the eoldiers were the muses of saving the
property. The tact is, that the wool, med stook,
and tin whole of the property that was saved, was
done long before the 53rd arrived; and more than
this, the Chickerell men long before the soldiers
get there bad s it cutting
