which there was no thoroughfare, it was • distressing scene to ob.

from their habitations, in Hit,rh.street, carrying with them all
the little propeety they were able to collect in their fright. Fortu.
nately, however, from the prompt arrival of the engines and a good
supply of lintel, the flames were subdued before they reached any
of the adjoining.houses. Several of the officers belonging to Union
Hall were on the *mt. and saved the property of the poor people
m the court from being stolen.
