Destruction Of property by .fre!-On
Sunday morning last, few hours before
daylight, the valuable cotton factory of
Joseph G. Field, Esq. situate upon Wap-
pings Greek, few miles south of this vii.
lage, was discovered to be on FIRE, and so
far enveloped in the devouring element as to
set at defiance all exertion to save any part
Of the property. The factory, together
with the -four and saw mills appertaining
thereto, was burned to ashes. The four
mills of Messrs. Mesiers, and the turnpike
bridge between these and the factory, took
FIRE several times, and it was with difficulty
they were preserved. The loss of property
sustained by Sheriff Field is estimated at a..
bout s 10000. This is supposed to be the
work of an incendisry; as it is impossible
10 conceive by what other means the fire
could have been communicated The
buildings had been closed for six or eight
hours previous to the discovery Of the FIRE.
This infant factory had but two days previ.
Gus to its destruction, been put iuto opera
ton upon an extended scale, and bid fair
10 become prominent among the similar es-
tablishments of our country. Its destruc.
tion is therefore matter Of serious public
regret.
