New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1859-10-26

THE LATE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES numbers oil
people daily visit the ruins of the great fire on
Magazine and other streets in the Fourth District
The scene offered is that of forest of naked chin
neys and crisped trees, standing around among
heaps and ridges of ruined brick and mortar, with
some of the iron pillars of the market-house stand
ing near the center of oil. The burning of the
stores and residences was calamity to their occu-
pants; the burning of the market was not only a
calamity to its lessee and occupants, but almost a
calamity to the multitude of people who did their
marketing there-the nearest of the other markets
being a long way off. It will be seen, by reference
to the report elsewhere, that the City Council has
already taken measures for the rebuilding of the
market, and given liberal permission to the butch
ers and huxters to erect temporary stands in the
vicinity Of the burnt market.
