Fire at Dunkirk.
DUNKrRK, Oct. s.

bSNhlhh, OCt. O.
At half past last night one of the most des-
tructvc fires that ever occurred i'll this place
lroke out in an old barn owned ly A. CHORD
situated near Front and Second streets, which
communicated with the long building front on
Buffalo street, occupied as billiard saloon and
bowling alley. All the buildings in the immc-
date vicinity being of wood, filled and sur
rounded with cOmbustihle materials the flames
spread rapidly during the prevalence OF storm
/ OF wind.
We are unable to arrive at the precise loss by
| individuals and can only give the result brief
! ly: Commencing at the corner OF Second and
Buffalo SITS. the two or three first buildings
were small and of but little account Next
was Landsrath's tin shop, Lorkey's liquor store,
a German tavern, New York and Erie House,
Tea Garden House. and dwelling house of
Luther Alton. Patricks extensive Livery es-
Enlistment. in the rear of the American House,
and the row of stores and shops fronting Oh
Front st., were saved by the utmost eXertOns
OF our citizens. At one time tie destruction of
the stables seemed unavoidable, as they were
on fire in several places.
At the time of the cOniagration number of
ladies were laboring constantly in handling
buckets of water, while hundreds of men look
cd on idly and refused to act their part.
Mayor Grosvenor promptly started an cx-
press to Fredonia three miles distant for as
sistance, and Col. Tyler, as Foreman of the Ere
donia Fire Co., with engine and men, did good
service. That WIS the only engine on the
ground-there being none in Dunkrk.
