A Fire at Last.

the /" Franklin House, in this village, was dis
covered TO be fire, and such was the rapidity of
the flames, that those sleeping in the house had
barely time to make their escape-most of them
having to jump from the windows of their sleep
ing rooms But very little Of the furniture of the
house, and scarcely any thing belonging to the
boariefs and dodgers saved. The fire origin
ated in the bar-room, and in all probability was
the work OF some devil incarnate, whose object
was plumber
The dwelling of Mr. Henry Nancarrow, which
adIoned the Franklin also consumed, though,
we are told, most of his furniture was saved
The stone building of Mr. Hugh Phillips, about
twenty feet east of the Franklin House, occupied
by S Adler & CO. as a Store, and w n Owen
as a Saloon was several times fire, but through
the untring efforts and well directed exertions OF
our citizens the building was saved with but little
damage. The toss, however, accrued by the re
moval of goods, &c was considerable.
The Franklin House insured in the Pro
lection company, which failed last season. On
Mr. Nancarrovs house there was no Insurance
Phillips building and AdIers goods were fully
insured in the Etna Company On Mr.. Owen
property there no insurance
At this FIRE our citizens saw the want of wa
ter, ladders, fire hooks, &c. Will they now take
some measure for procuring the necessary imple-
ments for arrestng the progress Of fires Had
there been wind on Sunday night, large por-
ton OF the town must have been laid in pile o
ashes We say again, let something be done at
once TO prepare Tor another emergency Of the
kind
