awful Fire in ShepherdStcWn

About 2 O'Clock Yesterday afternoon an
alarm Of fire was heard, and il was soon
oscer,ained that the House Of Mr.. - H.
BRADSHAW, very worthy citizen was
in flames. A strong breeze was blowing
from the South East, which endangered
the upper portion of the town. NO Nu'
man efforts could have saved Mr.. Brad
shaw's house, and 1t was soon IN runs
Mr.. BIS furniture was generally saved
though in damaged condition. The
Brick Dwelling of the Misses Baylor
next caught, but after great exerions was
saved. Soon blaze was seen issuing
from the roof Of the NJ. f. Church, and
in a moment the whole ediice was one
vast shee. of flame, and the bIackened
walls alone remain. The dwelling house
owned by DR., E. c. Williamson German
Street.-The squares off, was in flames, but
was exlingusIIel after great exeFiioa. At
various times some dozen Dwellings, Sta
bIes, Corn Houses, &c, &c, were on fire,
and nothing but the almost suPerhuman
exerlons of the citizens saved one hail
the town from ruin. The "Diligent Fire
Company" lately organized, with new
Suclion and Hose, worked like veteran
iiremen, and fully tested the capacity OF
their apparatus, which worked like acharm'
and saved large amount of property,
But the gallantry of the men will not
permit them to murmur, when we say that
The Ladies deserve more praise than all,
They worked for hours with degree Of
aIacriiy worthy of the stronger sex. Re
gret for the loss sustained is accompanied
with a deep ,hankGullness for tie miracn-
Ious escape the numerous houses saved.

A Fearful Scene.

The telegraph has alluded 10 the barn
ing down of the Eclectic Medical College
al Rome, N. Y, on Sunday last. We
subioin some further particulars, by mail;
After the fire Was subdued an awful
and disgusting sight was presented in the
dissecting room. Bodies and portion Of
bodies lay scattered around-limbs, ribs,
skulls, inteslines, and slices of human
flesh in great profusion, as though JUS
dissecled, me, the eyes Of those who had
entered the room while the horrible etllu,
via from the burning Of human flesh in
two large stoves in the room, slckened
those who ventured near. The physicians
speedily disappeared,
These sights enraged those who were
present, and Immediately commenced a
scene of riot difficult TO describe. The
windows were raised and many portions
ofbodies thrown out upon the crowd be-
low. Among the rest a small coffin was
thrown from the fifth story window down
upon the ,ow-path and burst open by the
conclusion, when the body of child,
apparently six or seven years of age with
a head almost as large asa peck measure,
was exposed to view---,hc coffin being
broken 10 pieces. The sheriff and his Of
fcers had great difficulty in dispensing the
mob.
