PROM LAWRENCE.

LAWRENCE, Mass. Jan. l2
five could but forget the occasion of oul
crowded streets, we should at once conclude
that seme great occasion, or gala day, had
arrived, but the air of SADNESS and almost des.
pair so visibly depicted on the countenances OF
our citizens, keep the dark reality constantly
before our minds. Every train from every dir
ection comes in laden to its utmost capacity
with living friends. When we consider that
not less than $50 long passenger cars have ar
rived here to-day, some realizing idea may be
arrived at in regard to the number of our vic-
| TINS
The morning aud forenoon were used in re.
moving the rubbish, after being sufficiently
cooled, in order if possible TO get lhe bodies
known to be still under the ruins. Quite a
number were got out.
! Two persons were taken out alive early in the
morning.
! A squad Of cauvassers were organized and
the whole city was laid out into small districts,
and pretty thorough canvass was entered
into, the men going from house to house there
by ascertaining in every family where persons
were either wounded, missing or safe
The summing up shows that l62 persons are
missing. This embraces all those known TO
have been killed, aud, those of which to tidings
have been obtained. It is admitted by those
who hove gone into the investigation that 50
persons sre yet inundated in the brick and
mortar.
I30 dead bodies have been removed to the
City Hall or been delivered to recognizing
friends. The fOllowingis list eff the dead and

Previous to the fire two sisters weretogether
and comparatively unhurt. they would have
been reSeued, but hearing the roar of the flames
they exclaimed, 20 God we have got to die. "
One woman shrieked ont piteOusly that the fire
WAS burninU her hair hut fba dsp,oo z,,, .;
lenced her cry.
1t has already been stated that one man cut
his throat lest he should be burned alive.
Mr.. Branck told his friends who were dig-
ging for him that he should resort to the same
means to escape the tOrtures of the fire. He
was persuaded TO desist, and was fortunately
rescued
The awful death that some died Of by the fire
was fesrfully attested by their baked and black
ened foims when taken out not anything like
these ofhuman beings
