Frc-The dwelling house o. Mr. Euclid Chad
scy, in the village of Wickfnrd, was consumed by
fire the morning of the 2Sth instant, Between the
hours of 2 and o'clock. The fire had made such
progress before it discovered that all efforts to
save the building unavailing. The buildings
Oh each side, but few feet distant, were for while
in great danger but owing to the camness of the air
and the vigorous exertlOns OF the fireman and cn-
zens, they were saved. Much praise is due to the
ladies of the village, who, although the dead hour
of night, volunteered their services by forming u
line to pass the empty buckets, and labored with
unceasing effort during the continuance of the fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The building
was insured at the Mutual Fire Insurance Office in
this CITY. This is the first dwelling house which has
been burnt in that place since the Revolutionary
War. Providence Jomndt.
