Destructive FIRE AT FLUSHING L. L.
A fire broke out about 0 o'clock in the morn
ing on Saturday last in barn beloning to A.
Parks, which soon communicated with his
dwelling, and spreading with astonishing
rapdity, in its course carried down every
adjoining building. The citizens were quick
ly to the rescue, and active aud energetic in
their eXertions to save and all was done that
men could do but owing to the general
drought and want Of water 1t became necessary
to form lines Of citizens Of both sexes leading
to the steamboat landing nearly quarter of
a mile from the fire, which resulted in stay
ing the flames, and preventing their dcstruct-
i've consequences from crossing Bridge street
and through that prevention alone the princi.
pal part Of that much admired village has been
saved.
Seven dwelling houses were consumed
about the same number of barns and out
buildings. Total loss estimated at $50, 900
