BUTrERHlLL MOUNTAIN on FIRE.-This forest
mountain, situated on the west bank of the Hud-
son, about half mile below the landing at Corn
wall, was set on fire by the carelessness of some
Individuals at work in getting down stone. A
nest OF bees had been discovered: on Tuesday
night they set fire to the spot for the purpose Of
destroying them. The fire was left to burn during
the night, and communicated to the shrubs and
trees, which had become very dry from the long
drought. About two o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing, the woods were discovered on fire. The
flames spread go rapidly, that by eight o'clock the
side of the mountain, for at least one quarter of
mile in length, was in a blaze. The fire had
formed circle round the hill, at about twO-thirds
its height The view from on board the Thomas
Powell, as she passed in the evening, was ex-
tremely grand and beautiful. In addition to the
main sheet OF flame, several smaller lights were
perceptible through the trees, caused by the burn
ing of the underbrush, the trees themselves not
yet having caught fire. Their light cleaned
through the rich dark green foliage, like twnkling
stars In the blue vault from behind passing clouds
1t is probable that by midnight the whole noun
tam top was one sheet OF flame. Fortunately there
were no dwellings in the immediate vicinity of
the flames, but the inhabitants of the village were
much alarmed lest the fire should reach them. 1t
sdifficult to devise any means by which il can be
extingulshed Indeed, il is probable that like the
fire the east bank of Niagara river. at the suspen-
sion bridge, IT will have to burn itself out unless
copious showers should speedily visit us. The
woods back of FIshkill landing. upon the opposite
side of the Hudson, are also burning the fire hay-
ing commenced on Saturday last. One hundred
and fifty cords Of cut wood had already been de-
stroyed.
