FIRE IN NEW YORK.
From the New York Courier, December .

From the New York Courier, December .
EXTENSIVE FIRE-This morning about guar
ter to six O'Clock, the Chair mandatory OF Mr.
Buhler, No Is Bowery, was discovered to be on
fire, and the alarm being given, qnlckIy brought
the fire department TO the premises. out owing
10 the hydrants being firmly frozen, IT was some
time before water could be brought into re-
ouisition, and the delay thus occasioned resulted
in serious loss of property. The buildings on
the Bowery, Nos, 7, 9, II, 49, 49, and Io4;
we're DESTROYED On Division street, the small
brick buildings occupied as shops and dwellings,
Nos. y, Ia, I6, Is, 20, y, "a, 26, p, 80, 81
and "a, were also consumed, but most OF 'helr
contents were saved by the Police and fIremen.
The buildings destroyed on the Bowery
we're occupied as furniture, feather, and fancy
stores We could not obtain an accurate ac-
count of the losses owing to the compression
about the ruins, this forenoon. The Mechanics
Institute was damaged to the extent OF about
$500 This building ls situated on the corner
of Division street and the Bowery y.-The entire
loss will probably reach SljO,UO0 or 5000, 600
which is partially insured

several Book and Music stores, and Harper's
Restaurant in the basement the flames next
communicated to the Shakespeare Building, on
the opposite side of Sixth street ad Joining the
Chestnut Street Theatre, which was totally
consumed. Browns Hotel on Chestnut street ad-
Joining Hart's building shared the same fate.
About ; O'Clock the wall of Harris Building fell
into the street, instantly killing two coored
men and severely wounding several 6remen and
policemen; many others are supposed to have
been killed, as at the time the wall fell the
street was crowded with spectators entire
block the West side of Sixth street, from
Chestnut to Carpenter streets, is heap of
ruins. On the East side of Sixth street and
North side of Chestnut street, Harris building
Browns Hotel, Johnston's Law Book Store and
several other valuable stores are completely
destroyed.-Many other buildings on both sides
OF Sixth street are damaged, and the loss can
not be less than S200000. The fire was not
subdued until 9 o'clock this morning. The
heaviest losses are, DIR. Schenck, whose estab-
lishment was completely destroyed; T. & J.
