AbSu. six o'clock yesterday morning, as gen"
lie rain was descending, an alarm OF fire was given
on Dcmumbrane street, near the Franklin Turn
pike. We were early on the ground and found the
coul ,gration 10 be in handsome frame tenement,
the residence Of Mr.. Sam. Pritcheu. The Ere orig
iusted ia the kitchen, and as the servants state,
under bed, satisfactory explanation Of which
we we're unable TO obtain; but heard the frequent
remark that il must have been caused by an iucen-
diary. The kitchen being a log building, the
flames we're slow in reaching the dwelling, giving
ample time TO remove most OF the Furniture, and
disodse aud save doors, mauties, CRATES &c, un-
Ill the loss is reduced to the bare walls Of the builds
ing, which is estimated TO have been worth some
s. 900, and was insured by the Commercial Com
pauy Of this City for 900; with additional in
surancc upon the furniture of $500,
To The above loss must be added the damage
done 10 sbrubbery, fences, cistern, &C., which was
considerable, and only be replaced at heavy
expense and long lapse Of time.
The different FIRE companies Of the city, were
as promptly on the spot the distance from their
engine-houses would permit. But owing to the
lack Of water they did not succeed in getting into
operation until the building was principally con-
sumed.
A negro woman and child belonging to the fam.
ily OF Mr.. Pritchett, were. severely burned. Tue
woman had left the kitchen, and upon returning,
discovered the flames filling the room, and to all
appearance, entirely cutting off all possibility of
reaching the bed where her child lay, and which
wSs completey euveloped in the urniug mass, but,
being nerved by those feelings Of mother, that
makes her forget all thou ghts of self, when her off
spring is in danger. She plunged into the fiery
element, and rescued the child from what appeared
certain destruction; both mother and child being
severely burned, and as we learn, the child espe-
cially, dangerously SO.
This was the only accident we noticed, or heard
Of and 1t is at least gratifying to know that during
sqch faerful times, human lives are no oftener
made a sacrifice.
