aSThe fire rMonday night was much
more destructive than we were aware OF
at the time our article Of yesterday was
written. The stock of dry goods in the
stole Of Messrs. H. DIrrENDERrrER &
Co. Gin which the fire orginated) was
worth about $4,000, considerable por-
ton Of the goods being of the finer and
more costly descriptions. There was III
surance on this stock 10 the amount of
$4,000 in the Franklin Fire Insurance
Company of Philadelphia, and $4,000 in
the Merchants Fire Insurance Company
of Baltimore. As we stated yesterday,
nothing was saved from the store OF Mes
srs. DifenderfIer & Co. When the doors
were broken open the flames had such
complete possession of the interior tina.
no one could dare to venture in.
The stock of goods in the store of
Messrs. STEARNS and SIKKEN, which were
removed promptly TO the store OF Mr.. II.
w. Bool, is covered by policy of 49,
600 in the Franklin Fire office of Phlla-
delphia.
No removal of the property in the dry
goods store of Mr.. JOHN w. koYsToN,
(who occupied the house Immediately east
Of that in which the fire broke out,) took
place and but very little damage was sus-
tanned. The furniture in the dwelling
part of the house was injured to some ex-
tent by the removal Of it and by water.
The fire made its way into these premi-
ses IN several places. but owing to the
watchfuness and energy Of those within.
it was happily ex,inguished.
The violence Of the wild carried innu-
merable flakes of fire over that part of the
city lying south east Of the confagration,
and the anxious vigilance Of many a
householder was called into action in Or
der to prevent his premises from taking
fire. The night was intensely cold-the
water froze as it fell--and although many
of the fremen were completely encased in
ice, they did not FOR an instant abate their
most extraordinary efforts until the des-
tructive element was conquered.
ANOTHER FREY stertay after
noon about o'clock. fire broke out in
the upper story of the large Snuff Mill in
Beuren street. owned by Mr.. WILLIAM
IlEALD, Tobacconist, and others, The fire.
men repaired 10 the spot with grea
promptness, and by extraordinary exer-
tons, succeeded in combining the flames to
the upper par. Of the building. The loss
sustained was not very heavy.
