FEARFUL FrRE.-The following account ofa FIRE
in Orangeburg, s. c., is copied from the Charles
ton Mercury:
At halfpast one on the morning of Tuesday last,
the inhabitants of the village Of Orangeburg were
aroused from their slumbers by the cry of fire. and
Fastening forth they found the middle store of Mr.
Treadwell and the store of Mr.. Collins wrapped
in flames. In spite of all their exertions the fire
spread with fury, and soon extended to Mr.. Tread
wells newly finished store, likewise to his old store
thence to the shop of Mr. Jones, the two stores Of
Mr.. Louis, and to Mr. Marchant's store. The de-
vouring element also seized the Office Of DR.. Rowe,
the kitchen and negro house OF Mr.. Oldendorf, and
the houses of Mr. L. Adden, Mr.. Briggman, Mr..
John Adden and Miss Wise. The grocery. dry
goods and middle store OF Mr.. Bulls were soon all
in flames, as likewise the store OF Mr.. VIM. Ehney
We regret to state that the whole of the buildings
we have enumerated were entirely consumed be-
fore thefre was subdued.
By great exertion the stores and dwelling house
of Mr.. Beach, and the dwelling Of Mr.. Oldendorf
and Mr. Joseph Harley were saved.
The loss b very heavy, particularly to MI Louis
and Mr.. Treadwell. The only parties who nsd
their property insured were Mr. Collins and mi
Briggman. Some properly saved 1t great rsk
ftom the fire was afterwards stolen. 1t y SUD
ject of congratulation TO be able to state thas no
one was seriously hurt.
