hitherto proved too small, or for some other
reason II became necessary TO get new
one. The question was, how The late

DREADFUL FIRE.

Since one o'clock this morning, much the
largest portion of the business part of the town
has been destroyed by fire.--The fire was got
under at about Z o'clock. We are unable, as
yet, to estimate the amount of damages suf-
fered by the inhabitants, we have no knowl-
edge of the amount insured. Probably at least
one half of the property in town is destroyed
To specify the sufferers would he almost to
give "a complete catalogue of our business men.
We can without hesitation number Al places Of
business completely destroyed, the occupants of
which have lost much the greatest portion Of
their stock in trade
The fire commenced in small building in
Water street, No. g. owned by Col. b. B. Lea
witt, and occupied as dwelling house and gro
Gerry by Irish family. From this building,
which was nearly consumed before any person
had assembled, the fire communicated to the
store occupied by Hayden 81 Son, and thence
proceeding, making Il clear sweep of every
building on both sides of water street 10 the
store Of Messrs G. 81. L. Hobbs, on the easl sIde
and the Office of d. Il. Granger Esq.'on the west
side, incnsive-exten ding also back and burn
ing number of dwelling houses Every wharf
within the limits of the confiagratons was entire
" cleared, except two stores on the lower end of
Hayden's whnri-Central wharf, Union wharf
Steamboat wharf, and Hobbs wharf. Two YES
sells the Martha and the Abigail, were totally
destroyed having been aground in the dock,
and several others took fire, but exiting
uished.
Nothing remains Of what yesterday was the
centre, s. in fact nearly the circumference OF the
business part of the town. but heap of ruins,
above which rise the backened chilnnies of the
burnt buildings, and over which the smoke rests
like pail, as if to hide the hdeous mass be-
meath.
Since writing the above, an estimate has been
made of the property destroyed, which is put
at $240,000 of which $4,000 are supposed to
be insured.-EastpoH (Ne.) Sentinel.
