Monday, July 3D., IL o'clock, M. {
Destructive Fire at Fall River.-One third of the
town in ashes-At three o'clock, Sunday afternoon,
=, most destructive fire broke out in Fall River, which
ragged with great fury until it destroyed greater por
ton of the business quarter of the town. Owing to
the ponds having been drawn off, there was at first
difficulty in getting water, and when that was obtain
ed, a great part the hose had been destroyed by
the rapid advance of the flames. The fire swept
Main-street for about half mile. Several build
inss were blown up, but with little effect in orrestng
the flames, which caught from the sparks. TIE fire
spread until midnight, when II was got under con-
rol:but was not wholly extinguished when King Phil
ip left.
Among the buildings destroyed are the Pocasset
Fridge Mill, large and valuable establishment; the
Pocasset House, the Manufacturers Hotel the Fall
River Bank building, the Savings Bank building, the
Custom House, the Post Office The Methodist Church
the Christian Union Church, the Monitor Printing
office, the Argus Printing Office and about two hum
red other buildings, including all the principal whole
sale and retail stores in the village.
Mr. ssson has allowed to copy the letter from
Mr. Dordner.
GAIL RIVER, July Sd, 1si3.-Another awful
conl1agration has visited us-Y yesterday, at O'Clock
p NJ the alarm OF fire was sounded, and immedi-
atey the flames were seen to issue forth from the
very extensive cabinet warehouse and mandatory of
Adder L. Westgate, and several carpenters shops
and piles of lumber annexed, probably caused by
several boys who were flashing powder between the
shops and the ware-room)
The fire Immediately crossed over Main street, and
proceeded north at a very rapid rate, taking every
building Main street, both sides, for nearly half
mile, and was only arrested when it arrived at Major
Durfee's house, the west side Of the street, and
the east side going little past, and taking the
house Of DR.. Archer extending back the east on all
the streets which crossed to Rock street. and on
line with the Troy Factories, (Which were Saved)
and on the west took from two to four buildings on
all the streets which it crossed The Pocasset Bridge

Locusts On Staten Island says the N. Express,
the locusts swarm in great numbers, and the air is
constantly sounding with their humming noise Thus
far they have rot touched the foliage, but their
ges have commenced They seize hold Of the
small twgs of trees generally the size of pipe stem,
in which they make an ncsion through the bark into
the wood and there deposit their eggs. The missions
are made to the number of twenty at least, at about
one eighth Of inch apart; the twig then dies
and is broken offby the wind and falls to the ground
from which the insect formed from the egg it is sup
posed finds its way into the earth.
