BuRNlNa OF rHK PAvrrioN-The Pavilion Hotel
was burnt 20 the ground this morning. The alarm
was given about four o'clock, and those who
rived at the scene early say that the flames were
bursting Nv places the attic story and near
the end OF the east wing. The fire spread with
great rapidIty, and all efforts TO subdue 1t were OF
course Intellectual The exertions of the authori-
ties OF the village and the fire companies were there
tore directed 10 the preservation OF the property
IN the yIclnlty, In which they were eminently
successluL-noihing being DESTROYED of of the
block occupied by the Pavilion.
. Inc trustees, chief engineer, hre wardeas and
hre companies were on the ground promptly and
laoored with steady and well directed efforts to
master the flames, and prevent their spread The
citizens readily seconded these efforts, and the Ia
dies OF the village turned out in numbers and rem
uered valuable assistance, by forming into the line,
aud passing and repassing fire buckets, showing the
energy and power OF the female character In an
emergency.
The Pavilion was owned by Mr.. Quackenbush,
OF New York, and we learn was insured tor SlO,-
900. portion OF the furniture was saved, though
the most valuable was destroyed. II was insured
for 5000.
The fire, beyond question, was the work of an
cendiary. man named Harper occupied part of
the building, the extreme west end, and the attic
story, end indeed the whole OF the main building,
had not been occupied tor some eeks-Sardtoga

THE LATE GALE AT PoRT LEON AND Sr. MARKS
We are sorry 10 learn, says the Apalachicola Ad-
Nertlser, OF the S0th ut, that the first accounts of
the disasters oil those places more than realized
Recent information from Port Leon says that all the
houses except three are destroyed, and among Them
the post oihce end custom house, and the wharves
ali destroyed. So great has been the destruct on
that 1t sgeneray thought by those interested that
the town would not be rebuilt. ST Marks did not
suner so much-some OF the buildings were swept
away, and all the whsrves demolished But the
most painful part of this record is the loss OF life
which occurred. AT Port Leon one, at the Light
House fourteen and at Shell Point five, all in the
same nelghborhood. The amount Of property de-
stroyed large, yet think 10 be estimated
by some, who have placed il as high as two hun
dred and fifty 10 three hundred thousand dollars
We should think that much less amount would
fully cover the loss.
