The FIRE caught at H. p NJ, in small building used for
ng lime situated on alley, about 100 yards southwest
The Mansion House From thence it spread rapidly south
IA cast the wind blowing the time fresh breeze from

The whole loss is less probably than S5oO0O, por

FIRE was exnguishcd and afey say that we never wit
messed such of confusion devastation and distress
The whole village covered with furniture, goods and
articles of every description Every house appeared TO be
empied of its contents and the inhabitants OF the village and
the adoinug towns together with hundreds from Troy
crowded together in the neghborhcod Of the fire. At
time the destruction of the bridge the Hudson appeared
inevitable and nothing saved but the excrons OF the Troy
and WestTroy remen Waterford having but one rc-er-
sue and that being almost useless The fire was finally ar
rested at the house of John Stewart brick building lew
rods west of the bridge The books of the Saratoga County
Bank were saved The specie remains in the vault TO the
amount of $4,000. Mr. Tcomb, butcher, fell from
roof and is expected TO live. With this exception we
heard of no accidents
Byhis destructive confagraon the prosperity of Water
ford must be seriously impaired, and it is doubtful whether
she viii ever recover from the loss Ii is by far the most
serious calamity that has occurred in this section OF the
country since the great fire in this city in 1920.
