A destructive fire occurred at Strasburg on
Saturday, in the Kageneck quarter. Twenty houses
were burned to the ground and 50 poor families
have lost all they possessed. Twenty-six persons
also received injuries more or less severe ; two or
three are scarcely expected to survive. But for the
energetic efforts of the firemen and the townsmen
generally the conflagration would have been far
more disastrous. A subscription has been opened
to relieve the sufferers.
