FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Frightful as was The progress of the fame,
says the Piusburg Post, and terrible as the bs.
voc seemed, while j, was going on, no one can
realize The losses and privaiions our citizen,
have sustained, until he walks through The ro,.
est of naked chimnies and broken walls, which
mark the path of The destroying element. 0.
the 1900 houses which were estimated as h.
number lost, about 700 were DIV elIings, and We
suppose at least four thousand persons hsr,
been thrown out Of house and home.
The whole length Of the burnt district is abou.
one mlle--.lhe average breadth about one ban.
dred and sixty yards---makiug an area Of aJo..
sixty acres.
The Age places The loss as high as $4,000.
900; but we trust that The reality will prove
much less. That paper says:---We can give
no idea, on paper, Of the distress which pre-.
thousands are left des,i,ue---men wbo
yesterday were worth thousands, are now bank.

Iric, contains SIYTY ACRES! The total
loss. in dollars, cannot be arrived al with any
kind Of accuracy----say guess al TWELVE

about $4,000 were taken in Insurance CON.
panies in other cities.
The Gazette of Saturday, although printed S
,nly upon half sheet, is almost wholly Oc
:upied with The disaster. The Gas Works e,
:aped with but lillle injury. Councils had mel.
md had authorized the appointment Of police
o project the ruins, and had also called Town /
Meeting for the relief Of the sufferers. Se,er
Il Churches had been offered to the housees, /
Is places Of temporary shelter. The agenid /
he Delaware Mutual Safety Insurance Con.
'any has announced his ability to pay all tho
policies Of that Company.
The Gazette also inculcaies a manly ,pirl
lnder the circumstances, and says:---Our large

Globe Factory. which is the smallest in The
'iiy, the Kensington Iron works, and Bakewsl
