covered to be on fire; and notwithstanding (he itm•
mediate and strenuous exertions of the
the fire communicated to two houses, and
all three were hurtled to the. ground. The houses
were covered with thatch; and it is supposed the fire
was occasioned by a spark from the chimney falling
on the ;out, which the long coistiooance of dry wea.
tiler has rendered peculiarly combustible; when the
thatch was once ignited, there was no possibility of
arresting the flames, as there is no fire engine to the
village,
