DISTINCTIVE FIRE!

On SATURDAY last, abort O'Clock, our nergh-
bou,s of Washington were visited by Fire, which
proved, in its progress, one of the most destructive
and alarming with which this section OF country
has ever been afflicted. The fire originated IN the
stone tavern of Col. Key, occupied by Mr. Herd
whence it was communicated 10 the extensive clus-
ter of buildings owned by Messrs Craig's, and oc-
cupied by MIR. Artus tavern, all OF which to-
gether with the stables out houses, &c. were con-
sumed. More than 20 buildings were at one period
or other, during the continuance OF the contiagra-
ton, on fire, but owing the vigilance OF persons
who hadrepaired TO the spot, they were extinguish-
I'd without material injury. We have not been
able ascertain the amount of the losses sustained;
but presume, that in buildings, household furniture,
merchandise, Sc it cannot fall short oil 20 600 dol
lars. The principal sufferers from this truly aiic-
tive dispensation, are-Messrs. Key, Craigs, Ar
tus, Hord, Lee, and Lashbrook, and Taliaieno.
