GREAT FIRE AT WILMINGTON, n. {
FIFTY HOUSES BURNT

GREAT FIRE AT WILMINGTON, N. C.
FIFTY HOUSES BURNT.
Wer eceived last night slip from the office of
the Wilmington Journal, dated Nov. 4, O'Clock,
A. M, containing the following particulars of
great c0nflagration in that city
We hasten at this early hour to give brief ac-
count of the awful fire with which our town was
visited this morning. About half past IL o'clock,
the alarm of fire was given, and in Fastening to
p the spot a few minutes after, we found a few
wooden buildings in the very heart of the square
bounded by Market, Front, Dock and Water
streets. The fire originated in the rear of Mar
ket street, precisely in the same spot where it
was set on fire some weeks ago, and there re-
mains not doubt that the conhagration of this
morning was also the fendsh work of the mid
night telOn. The wind was blowing from the
North, and the flames spread with awful rapidty
In less than two and half hours from the first
alarm the whole square was in a Sheet of flames
The farther progress of the devouring element
was arrested at Dock street. We cannot now
pretend to give even tOlerably accurate guess at
the amount OF property destroyed. We think,
however, that the total loss will not fall far short
OF $l75,000 and we learn that mast of the build
ings, as well as the goods in the Stores were in
sured. A large amount of the latter was removed
from the houses, ewhile they were wrapt in flames.
Col John McRae and Col James T. Miller, in
attempting to save some goods from the flames, at
the store of Messrs. Barry & Bryant, on the
wharf, were borne to the earth by the fall of
brick wall. Col. McRae had his leg broken and
his head and shoulders much bruised, but we
hope that his wounds are not fatal. Col Miller
had his right foot much cut and bruised, but we
are glad to learn that he is not seriously injured.

MY WIFE M CHILD.
A CINCINNATI STORY.

One bright and beautiful day in June, was
seated in the bar room of a hotel in the city
of Pork, with a newspaper lying negligently
upon my knees, and with my eyes half closed,
in a deep %reverie. My thoughts were lone
ofthe most pleasant, for who can reflect for a
moment upon hopes blasted, no matter how
small they may have been, without a pang
shooting through the brain, regretting thai
our desires can never be consummaled. Who
can see a bright career of glory. worldly pros
poets and the hearts hol lest affections wrap
ped in The shroud of hope and sunk deep in
the fathomless sea of despair, without a sigh
or a tear. Few can do il-yet did, yea, |
bad laughed heartily several lines al the II
diculous figure cut by myself in a recentlove
affair, and was about TO perform the same a
greeable act again, when | felt a slight tap
on the shoulder.
"a lady wishes 10 see you in The sitting
room,'' said a waiter.
