The PROCESS ofthe 6rs was here arrested by
he ju3ieious eIeUioBs Of tho Fire Engiue and
Hook and Lander companies, aided By ibe ciii-
zsns generally. But two buildings were entire.
ly consumed. Very little injury was done 10 those
adjoining. Any one who will examine the scene
oflhe fire, will wonder at our narrow escape
Fortunately il was quite sill-scarcely breath
Of air was stirring. Had il been blowing a gale
from the west as it was most Of the day pre-
vious, no human power could have saved the eI.
tensiye block Of buildings reaching to Jones cor.
ner aud thence west along Market to Military St.
together with all the back buildings, from com.
Plete destruction. We have heard no estimate
made Of the loss sustained, but it must b. some
eight or ten thousand dollars The principal
sufferers arc Mr.. Falk and Mr.. George Moore,
who occupied the building which first took fire,
Messrs. Decherl & Moore and Messrs. Taylor,
Hale & Mardosk. We are happy to understand
that the store'h house and merchandise of Messrs
Decherd & Mboro were adequately insured.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. z

Our citizens were aroused yesterday morning
about day break by the ringing Of the bells and
the CRY Of Iirei 1t was soon discovered that the
wooden building occupied in part by George
Falk, Tailor, on the north side Of Main Street,
west Of Hale and Mnrdock's Store and imme.
diaiey adjoining It, was on flames. The fire
was the result oil accident and was communica.
ted to the roof Of the building through the stove
pipe. When the Fire Engine and Hook and
Ladder companies reached the spot, the roof OF
the building was il flames, and'al attempts to
save il being at once abandoned as useless the
attention Of the companies was directed 10 the
preservation Of the adjoining buildings. by their
strenuous exertons and well directed efforts, the
fire was prevented from communicating to the
store Of Hale and Murdock. But Tor the fact
however, that that building is covered with
slate and externally almost fire proof all theil
n labors would have been in vain, and at least one
third Of the business part Of our town-perhap'
the most valuable part--would have been laid in
ashes. AS it was, il required great labor and no or
dinary daring on the part of the companies tc
save the building, but they did saveit.
They were not however so successful in pre-
venting the fire from communicating to the
large three story brick building on the west, oc
cuped as dry good store by Messrs. Dechert
and Moore. The roof Of this building, covered
with shingles, dry as tinder.-was soon wrapt in
flames, and in less than hour the whole Of il, to-
eether with considerable quantity Of merchan.
dizo which It was impossible to remove, was 10.
