From tho Fall River Monitor Of Saturday.

| F,RE.-Our citizens were aroused by the
cry of fire yesterday morulng, between Ia and
O'Clock. The fire proved TO he She large
rolling mil IN the rear of the American
Pnnt Works, belonging tn the Fall River
Iron Works Co. The fire first made its at,-
peagance IN the small building connecting the
large chimney with tue main huildIng, and
spread with such ropldity that before any Of
the engines could be brought TO work upon
1t, nearly the whole of the roo! was one sheet
Of fame. The entire building vas destroyed
aud most al its contents badly injured. The
main building was two hundred and eighty
one feet long, and one hundred feet wide
and attached to 1t was a wing 80 feet long
and 40 feet wide. The whole building GOV
cred about three fourtas of an acre of ground.
The re wcro III The building III furnaces for
heating iron-4 double and ~ sing gle-two
steam engines, the original cost Ot which was
about $40, 0,0OO-besldcs large quantity Of
iron in all the various stages from the scrap
to the hoops and nails. What damage the
furnaces aud engines have sustained, 1t is i'm
possible to tell until n thorough examination
has been had. The fire Is supposed To have
originated lrolp fue under ground cournu
nicalIng with the floor Of the small bnli,ilng
before mentioned. The Fire Department,
one and all worked hard and long, and would
have cxtingulshcd the flames, but for the
progress il had made before they reached It,
Hundreds at our citizens rendered every as.
sIs,ancc IN their power. Rat there were those
present, who no, only refused to work when
ca He'd upon, but who did not hesitate openly
to exult AT the destruction OF the tamcs,-
Such men are unfit to live in my society
and ought to bc marked by all good citizens.
The loss is estimated al from $4,000 20 30,
600. No insurance.
The reflection of that extensive fire upon
the bay, The pond, upon the seeples and the
buildings rising one above the other upon the
hill east Of the fire, presented scene Of aw-
ful splcndor, which, Of the kind, is 10, often
surpassed.

From the Bristol Phenix Extra, June 10 lS43


Il About ten minutes before ~ o'clock last
Il night, oar citizens were aroused from their
II slumbcrs by the distressing cry of fire, whlch
|, proved To proceed from the Bristol Steam
| Min, whicl, was struck by lightning. The
! clap OF thunder, the lightning Of which struck
II The Mil, was remarkably heavy, and no doubt
awakened most of those in town who were
asleep.
H The interior of the building, with most OF
the machinery. was entirely destroyed. All
the cloth aud most OF the yarn and raw cot
! ton were saved.
H FortunnteIy,t il was entirely calm, conse-
! quepiy The fire was confined to tho factory
! alone. Had there been n strong breeze, one
half of the town would iney I,ably have been
! destroyed.
II Great prnisc is duo our citizens for the
| prompincss with which they repaired TO The
Il scene of devastation Too much praise can
not be bestowed upon The female portion Of
our community. who exertcd all their hands
could find to do. A part of the lines formed
for passing water, were partly filled with la
dies Of all ages.
Il The sincere thanks of this community are
due TO our neighbors of Warren. who prompt.
1 ly aud checrluily came with their engines TO
our assistance. Their kindness will long be
remembered by our citizens.

ran to the upper story OF the building, and
/ was instantly prostrated to the floor, ns ls
supposed from, the effects of the suIphurons

v recovered his senses.
1 We fear that much distress will prevail
among The operatives of the mill, as many Of
them who have large families entirely de.
pendent on their labors, ale now out Of en-
plov.
The loss will bo severely felt by the com
mnnity generally, rs the building aud mu-
tcriols were only partly insured.
This, we believe, is the heaviest fire thnt
has occurred in this town since The Revolu-
tionary war, when portion ol il was destroy

We are happy to state that no person was
injured.

"THE PHIIosorIIc Hat. We have
seen new invention of Jonathan Den
MS, Jr. of Portsmouth, on this Island,
for which he has Just obtained a patent,
and which is considered Il very great
improvement in the construction Of Hats.
1t is worn with grea, ease and comfort
to the head from its superior elasticity,
and it is believed by many will prevent
badness, the top Of the head being ven
tlatcd in warm weather, and as tho hnir
seldom if ever falls from the back part
of the head where it is exposed to the
air Females, it is remarked, nre sell
dom if ever bald who wear their bon
nets upon the back part of their heads.
/ The improvement consists in making
that part Of the hat, cap or bonnet.
which is exposed to the heat of the sun
in summer and cold winds in winter, so
that il does not come IN conta act with the
head. The hat being made in two parts,
placed within each other, leaves space
between for the air, which, as q bad
conductor Of heat, does not readily con-
duct the heat Of the sun to tho head in
summer, nor conduct the natural heat
from the head in winter, so that tho
head is allowed TO enjoy its natural tenn
porature, and remain cool in warm
weather, and retain its natural heat in
cold weather. Most people are aware
how oppressive the suns rays arc ip
summer, when shining upon the hat
where il comes in contact with tho head,
frequently causing headache, and some
times producing death, by whit is term
cd u stroke Of the un.-And il is nIso
well known how painful il is to have
the cold winds blowing against a hat
made upon the old plan, which cnusos
pain in the head while the hat is wora,
and pain in the Dyes utter tho hat is re-
moved
The invention Of Friend Dennis, It
is fully believed, will obviate these uu-
pleasant results.
