A large number Of small tenements in

lhan so or GO. Loss of property, from
$50, 900 to $40, 900, about half of which
was insured. Most of the furniture was
saved.
This estimate must be too SMALL,
The Commercial says, that 1875 families
we're deprived Of their dwellings, and
100000 worth of property consumed.
The fire is attributed to rockets and
crackers, let off by boys, in honor of the
ith.
