por ion of the herein hay to the top of a stack ef bar-
ley, 130 yards distant, which was instantly enveloped
in flames, and kindled a stack of wheat. containing one
hundred hikes of floe quality. We regret to say the

hood, especially as the premises on fire, and many of
those adjacent, were chiefly constructed of wood; im-
mediately near stood the very extensive roopectge of
Mr. Bryant, which added much to the terror of the
neighbours. The fire was so very general when first
discovered, that the family, consisting of fourteeen
persons, the majority of whom were children, with the
utmost difficulty escaped, by clambering, in a state of
nudity, out at the attic windows err the roof, from
which they crawled along on the adjacent houses, un-
til, Wing at length released from their perilous situa-
tion by mean* of scaling ladders, they descended into
the t, and took shelter in the house of a neigh-
bour. One of the children, we are sorry to learn,
was atangerously band while making its escape. The
family bad hardly left the house. whoa the roof, with
a tremendous crash, fell in, bearing all before it. Not
a single article of the furniture or stock in trade was
saved. The devouring element extended its ravages
.to the house of Me. Young, watchmaker, whore it did
considerable damage ; but here its career was arrested
by a plentiful supply of water, and the laudableaxer-
tions of the firemen. The Sun firs-engine was the
first oa the•spot, and it did great execution before the
arrival of the other engines. .
