buryng several frame buildings at the foot of the
hill, and extending quite across Main street.
The accounts vary in particulars, but all concur
in representing tie loss of life and the scene Of
distress as terrible beyond description.
The scene presented an awful and melancholy
sight. Babes in their cradles mothers with their
children in their arms, and stalwart men, who but
two hours before breathed freely and in good health,
had been taken from the ruins, mutated and
mangled corpses. The buildings destroyed were
nearly all new, and had but recently been erected
Some eight or ten of the dwellings, occupied by
poor families, were crushed and buried beneath the
