Destructive FIRE.

among US for long .ime-one which
rendered more families honseless and
comfort:ess than any other within our rec

have extinguished it; but so dry were the
materials in the building, and so strong

even checked until the destruction was
lamentably extended. The wind being
very high from the southeast, the fire 10
