this town last Friday night, the most dis
tressing of any thing which has taken
place i'll our community. The house of
MIR. G. Brewer was burnt, and daug liter
of Mr.. John Dutton of this town, aged 16,
was consumed in it The fire originated,
it is supposed, in back room, where they
had been smoking meat They examined
it before retiring, and thought it safe, but
about midnight those below awoke just In
season to escape the fire had made such
progress that it was impossible to ascend
the stairs to the chamber where Miss
Dutton slept and it ragged so furiously
that they did, not succeed in rendering
her any assistance; she was heard to
shrek once or twice, and all that was
known of her afterwards by her distress

cellar. -.... F." $500. ...~.~.
