FIRE AT DEMARARA. The report of a
very destructive fire at Demarara, noticed
in this paper week or two since, has
been confirmed, and particular accounts
have been received of the extent of the
ravages. The fire broke out in a grog-
shop, during scene of jrregularity; and
the alarm not being promptly given, it OBJ
tanned such hold that every effort to extin-
guish it was unavailing. A Demarara
newspaper thus describes the scene which
ensued:
"No language can describe-no force Of
poetick imagination can adequately picture
to itself the character of this truly terifck
and lamentable scene, and were it possible
to cherish any other feelings, at such mo-
ment of devastation and ruin to many, than
sorrow and alarm, those which relate to the
sublime might be abundantly INDUCED; the
very air parched and burning as if impreg-
mated with the elements of destruction

TUESDAY, MARCH II, 1929.

BY several arrivals at New York an,
Boston, London dates to Jan. % have beef
received. There is some news of an inter
esting character from the seat of war in tn,
East, which will be found among our for
eign extracts, under date of Jan. "a, being
private letter from correspondent of the
editor ofthe Boston Daily Advertiser. With
I regard to the negotiations with the Sublime
Porte for treaty with this country, spoken
of in this letter, and the rumour that an
American squadron was soon to make its
appearance in the Archipelago, we are alto
gether in the dark. If true, our govern
ment has managed to keep the thing pro-
{ foundly secret.
GFOur first page is occupied by sub
ect which now engages the pubiick attention
railroads. We are indebted to the po-
liteness of the editors ofthe Boston Travel
Ter for the engraving which illustrates the
Hetton Railroad. It will be interesting to
our readers, and will afford ocular demon
stration Of the great utility of this species
of internal Improvement. Reason and ar
guments may fail of convincing those who
are uniformed upon the subject, but this
kind of evidence is irresistible,
The report made to the Senate of this
Commonwealth, recommending postpone
ment of the subject of railroads to the Hud-
son River and to Providence, will also be
read with deep interest. The people through
out the State are called upon to express
their opinions on this subject by electing
their representatives to the next General
Court with view to final decision upon
it. The time has arrived when the matter
must be deinitiyely settled. No section of
the State is more interested in the project
than this, for we are satisfied it will receive
a very important share of the benefit, if any
should result from the establishment of the
proposed railroad to Albany. Let the peo-
pie, therefore, lose no opportunity of inform
ing themselves upon the subject, because it
is one of great moment, and should be act
ed upon understandingly.

FIRE. On Saturday morning last, about
9 o'clock, the citizens of this town were
alarmed by the very unusual cry Of FIRE.
1t proceeded from the shop occupied BY
Mr.. Lemuel D. Sawyer, harness-makes,
near Mr.. Fitch's hotel, and contiguoas to
shed attached to his barn. The FIRE
took in the garnet of the shop, aoae-ssory
building) either from defect in the Chin
ney, Or by stove-pipe, there being no
chimney below the garnet floor. 1t was
not discovered till it had made such pro-
gress as to render all attempts 10 extin-
guish it useless; and the exertions of the
citizens were mainly directed to the pres
eryation Of the barn, which was in the
most imminent danger, from its immedi-
ate connexion with the burning building
by means of the shed, and the wind blow
ing high towards il. This was effected,
almost miraculously, by the prompt, ener-
.getick, and well-directed efforts of the
citizens, in removing the shed and check
ing the progress of the FIRE. The shop
was entirely consumed. The buildings
destroyed both belonged to Mr.. Fitch, and
were insured to the amount of 200 dollars.
A part of the shed was occupied as gra-
nary, and contained about 80 bushels of
corn, which was chiefly destroyed. The
upper part was filled with straw.
Most of Mr.. Sawyer's stock and tools
were preserved. His loss is about Is dol
lars. Mr.. Fitch's loss, above the insur-
.ance, is estimated at about 200 dollars.
We cannot but take advantage of this
calamity to urge upon the citizens of this
town. the importance Of providing engines,
fire-hooks, and ladders. It is no security
for US that we have hitherto been so pro-
videntially preserved from the ravages Of
fire. We may be SO preserved for many
years to come but it is not the part of
wisdom or policy to be unprepared for
misfortunes with which we know we mag
be visited. The recent fire, we are happy
to acknowledge, was managed remarkably
well; for none but the most active exer-
tions could have prevented very extern
siye con6agration: yet it is the opinion of
many who were present that an engine
would have arrested the fire in season to
have saved even part Of the shop where
it originated. We hope an article will be
inserted in the warrant for the next town
meeting, that the subject may be brought
before the inhabitants.
