USroRruNATE RALEIGH! Private letters re-.
csived from Raleigh in Narth Carolina, bring
Information of most destructive fire. BY which
nearly half the town has been DESTROYED, md
with il large amount of merchandise of all
descriptions. About o'clock on Saturday
morning, Jan. z, the fire broke out on the cast
side OF Fayetteville-streei, and it spread with
Consuming rage, destroying the whole of that
square, and the square north of it, ms far as Mr..
John Stuart's house. 1t is remarkable cir
cuiasiance that, some years ago, fire which
broke out on the same building lot as this did,
consumed property on precsel, the same
ground, and was arrested at this same house of
Mr.. Stuart. Since then, tho whole had been
rebuilt in handsome manner. and was occuDi
ed principally by storas. One individual has
los, goods to the value of $4,000 Others have
lost as much if not more

VARIoLoID, OR SMALL Pox. 1t will be
seen by the following note, that there are
now, ut most, but four cases of this dis
order in town, and we hope that the uni
versdl vaccination which has been resort
remote and unfrequented place, and other
sanitary measures which have been adopt
ed, will prevent its further spreading. We
think it proper to add, that every place in
town which had been exposed, and where it
was suspected that there was the least dan
ger of infection still lurking, has been puri-
fed and fumigated by direction of the Sc
lectmen, under the superintendent ofa per-
son connected with the Hospital at Rains
ford Island, in Boston harbor. who has long
been acquainted with the disease and The
proper mode of treating it.
At a proper time, when people can view
the subject with more calmness and delhi.
Grafton than at the present time of excite
ment, we shall present statement which,
we believe, will fully excuse to the public,
any mistake in opinion which we may have
committed on this subject. As to all mat
tiers of fact, we believe we have been as cor
rect as our means of information would en-
able us to be.
Mr.. EDIToR-Since our communication TO
you las: week, we have to report two cases of
the Small Pox which can be traced TO Amherst
in the most direct manner. Both of them will
be severe cases, as neither have been protected
by vaccine incubation. We must also report
slight case to-day, and slight symptoms in an
other. All have been removed TO the Hospital
without delay. AL the former patients have
been discharged except one, who will be dis
missed on Wednesday. l5
By order of the Selectmen Of Worcester.
