i DESTRUCTION OF THE MERRIcK HOUSE,,
New BRIeHToN BY FdRE--The large and
magnificent Hotel, at New Brighten, known
as the Merrick House, was totally Destroy
by fire yesterday. The building was one
of the largest in the State outside Pittsburgh
or Philadelphia Itwes erected few years
ago. BY a joint stock company, at a cost of
about $40, 900, but. subsequently passed in,
to the possession Of Messrs. Merrick & Son,
who were proprietors at the time of its de-
struction. The fire was discovered issuing
from the roof at about IL lo'clock in the NOR
ming but on attempting to reach the place
where itwas burning, the COMMUNICATIONS
was found to be entirely cut off, and the
flames quickly spread over the whole upper
portion Of the house. A small engine, be-
longing to the town, was, brought on the
ground, but was ofvery little service, and
in two hours from the discovery Of the fire,
the entire building was in, ruins. Sternu-
Gus exertions were made to save the furni
ture, and a small portion, including the per-
sonal effects of nearly all the boardess was
rescued from the flames. There were sew
,eral Pittsburghers boarding at the house, but
Ewesare glad to say, no loss was sustained
by any ofthem. The fire originated from a
spark from the chimney. NJ NY
