Drc dful Con Il n r at on.

: At this moment, IL o',lock wednesday night
drca dful fire Is raging in our city. 1t broke out
about ten o'clock, the OF five story stores,
situated on Front Leycc, just above Bionviile
street, commencing in the Warehouse Of Ecrgu-
son & Parker--how it originated, We could not
learn. In short time il extended 10 the stores
of Deassus (, Montreal, Winston g. Shall, Locke
Il CO., and other adjoining buildings on Front
Lcvcc; the breeze being fresh from tho South
East, the flames extended across the entire block
to Old Lev,o, Gus eioping ali III, stores, offices,
and other tcnements on that street, from Ben
vile to Custom House street
Since penn;ng the above, the fire has crossed
Old Levce, and seized on several stores situated
the !owe- side OF that street. For . time it
was though; ii would extend to ChaFtrcss street;
bat ihro' the active cxertions Of tho different
companies, il is greatly checked in that quarter.
On the upper side of Old Lcvcc street,t continues
with undated fury but on Front Lcvcc, IT'S prog
ress has been arrested. Fears are entertained
that the whole block bounded by Front Levoe,
BcnviiIe, Old Lcvcc, aud Custom House will b.

This calamity, coming soon after the many
severe blows which city has sustained, will
be severely felt.
At 9 O'Clock this NOR ming, Thursday. the fire
was in a great measure misunderstanding four or
five stores on the upper side Of Old Leves nearest
Custom House. On Front Levec, still moro are
uninjnred.
In the hurry and confusion we cao hardly tell
who has suffered. The Office Of the Louisiana
Advertiser entirely consumed, with eight

Frday, or Hangman's Day.-There seems to
have been systematic effort. on the part of fate,
to prove that Friday is not an unlucky day. at
least in relation to the new world. Strange as il
may appear, this day, SO universally regarded by
the superslitious in Europe as an unlucky day,
has served to usher in some Of the most important
events Of modern times. 1t was on Friday, as
ascertained by the calendar, that Columbus set
sail on his successful voyage for tile discovery Of
the American continent; and on Friday that he
first made the land. II was on Friday that the

bluffs, on the west side Of the river, on the prai
ries several miles back from the eastern side, are
another range of lofty bluffs, marked in the same
manner, with water lines and hoows. The DIS
lance between these ranges of bluffs is about ten
miles The river is supposed once 10 have flow
ed between, washing the base OF both ranges.
This must be true; or mighty deluge, swollen
with the waters Of the northern lakes and rivers,
moved from their natural basins by some great
lconvnlsion of nature, must have swept It's ue-
mendous tide between them, and thus have cor
roded their surfaces.
| Nature has evidently slept uneasy in the val
lev Of the Mississippi. Floods, earthquakes and
volcanic commissions have left strong OF their
devastating effects, in all parts of this celebrated
valley. The earthquake OF 1911, shook the
Mississippi from its ancient bed and turned it
into new channels. Its waters rushed over The
banks, and formed great lakes in the adjacen.
country, many Of which yet remain. One of
these lakes sixty miles in length and twenty
in breadth. At cape Grardeau, the river swept
into the town, carrying of a street of houses.
shauering many others, and, as it retreaed, the
graveyard on the bank gave way, and yawned
its contents into the flood. The wild and i'm
posing scenery, along this valley, the hoary and
venerable cliffs which enclose it, and the majestic
river, flowing i'll silent pomp from remote and un-
leXplored fountains in the north, are calculated to
impress the traveller with sentiments of awe and
admiration, deeper than those inspired by any
other natural scenery in the world.
