that it is properly appreciated by the Vermont
Mutual Company, whose President, Hon. d.
BALDWIN is in town to-day. and expresses
his gratified surprise at the success of the eff

We take particular pleasure in saying,
also, that great credit is due to Mr.. Fire War
den EDWARD SMITH, for resolutely preventing
the tearing down of the barn, filled ,cM hay,
South of the Chittenden County House. But
for the firm and positive stand taken by him,
hat perfect reservoir of fire would have been
opened to the flames, and the whole of the East
side OF Church Street would almost inc vitably
have been burnt.
On the whole, the fire may be set down as
under all the circumstances, remarkably
small one. The saving of The green store
against which Setson's Block abutted, and the
preservation Of the Barns South OF the Jail, are
achievements that reha,t the highest credit up

1t is but a few days since the " Silver Grey
presses, from one end OF the Unicn to the other,
went into paroxysms Of patriotic indignation
over a recent law of Vermont, designed solely
by legal and constitutional means, TO protect
inhabitants Of this State from unlawful extra

sufficient to express the horror of these pro-
slavery organs at what they called " Vermont

any other State in the Union. Her distress,
for time, was painful TO look at {; and led

ed moment, she might commit suicide. But
concluded to live little longer for the Benefit
of her anxious relations"

Destructive Fire.

At about a quarter before one o'clock, last
night, fire broke out in the cellar of the South
Store in the Row of brick stores, on Church
Street, known as Stctson's Block" and before
1t could be subdued the entire row of Four
Stores, together with the Chittendcn County
House occupied by l.. u. Dixon, the County
Jail and the wooden buildings in rear of Stct.
sons Block, were entirely consumed. The
wind was blowing fresh from the North West,
ana the weather was intensely cold, 50 TINT the
efforts Of the Fire Companies were greatly en-
barrlssel The wonder is, nevertheless, not
that 50 much was burnt, but that so much was
saved. The in storm in the morning, which
50 suddenly changed to Il cold and freezing
SECT, covering buildings with panopy of ice,
greatly contributed TO arrest the conlagration.
Our Fircmon worked nobly, however, under the
most depressing embarrassmcnts, and many of
our citizens rendered the most valuable aid
among whom we my mention Mr.. BENroy.
Clerk with Mr.. TnEoDosE PECK and CHARLES
i. NELSON, whose active and valuable services
were universally noticed.
This is the largest fire that has ever occurred
in Burlington. The extraordinary coldncs.

to subdne it, and too much praise cannot be
awarded to the Fire Companies of our Vii
lagc for their untirlng cxertons. We canno
help adding that there never has been an occa
son when the want of an efficient HOOK AM
LADDER COMPANY was so fully demonstrated
Those of or public spirited citizens who have
recently aided in giving means to our IIool
and Ladder Company, had an opportunity, las
night, to observe how worthly their contrlbu
tons have been bestowed. Ito Ks and Ladder
are usually quite as useful at fires, as water.

The Fires Yesterday

J he moro the scene and circumstances ofthc
is the wonder that the conhagration was arrest
ell as it was The weather was intensely cold,
the thermometer indicating TEN )craturc some
II degrees Jeioc zero, and the immediate vicn-
ity of the fire was surrounded by buildings of
the most combustible character Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the Fire Compan>
les for the interchangeable efforts they made un-
der the most discouraging and almost hopeless
cmbarrassncnts. The Boxers, under the COM
mand of Mr. BxBy admitted no such thing
as fail" and tn Volunteers, under the most en-
ergetic and uniring management of Mr.. b ms,
whose hands were frozen, rendered the most
valuable service. The very intensity of the
cold undoubtedly contributed largely to prevent
the spread of the conl,gration, as the water
froze almost as soon as it struck the surround
ing houses ana formed an admir- Bile protection
to them But the wonder is that the water
could be thrown through the pipes. Nothing
but inc Ssam ! lbor by the Fire Companies pre-
ven ed the water in the hose from being frozen.
Mr.. BrNys worked his small Engine until it
was nothing but sheet Office, ana the Boxer
looked ike an iceberg.

to save the green Store, on the corner of Church

The Green store on the corner, occupied
by Mr.. Fuller, was in imminent danger, and
every thing-even the door and wndows-was
removed from it ; but it escaped.
The cinders, in large flakes, were carried to a
great distance by the wind but the ice-bound
condition of roofs prevented the spread of the
conAagration
Stetson,s Block, and the buildings in rear o
it, were occupied by t,celre families, mostly
poor people, upon whom this calamity falls with
heavy weight, and whose condition appeals
powerfully to the bencvolcnce of our citizens

to close last night, by the freezing of that
respectable body of water. The Saranac

winter quarters If his weather continues,
we may safely calculate on no more "opcn
