On Saturday evening. about o'clock. fire was
discovered N the lower part OF the 4-sory st"re
No. 1 i}ioad street. occupied by u. ii. and X
Stanton. AS a wholesale grocery and commission
store. Before the hre-nen reached the scene OF
conAasration, the flames had made such progress
that it was impossible the store or the goods
it contained. bur b the uncommon eXcrtions OF the
firemen, whose in'repdty and voluntary exposure
to danger were ON this occasion conspicuous. the
adjoining stores were saved. The store contained
property to the amount of about S30,0O0 which
was partly insured. 1t is supposed that the proper
ty in the cellar, which is only partially injured and
which will be saved, will make Mr. Stanton whole.
The store which belonged to Stephen Whitney, Esq.
was not insured. 1t is not known how the lire orig
mated
We are happy to state, that all the books and val
