~On Monday night fire broke

On Monday night fire broke
out at. Gorton's Landing. four miles
from our village, destroying the Ware
house, an adjacent building and large
sheds, under which were three carriages,
two'waggons md harnesses, all, Of which
save some freight, became the prey of the
devouring flames. Ludger Barbin Esq,
proprietor of that we'll know Landing,
sustained, on that EVENT. jul night, a loss
of about two thousand dollars.
1t is not known by whom or how
the fire was put or originated it may
be the work of some dark, mischievous
plot. The anxiety that hangs over the
minds Of the people, in relation to that
unfortunate casualty, cannot be removed'
but it is for our planters to be as watch
ful as ever, and to re-organize night pa
tro}s if they want to be protected in
heir lives and their property.
We are happy to learn that, notwiths-
Standing his severe loss, Mr. Barbin
will. at once, have a new and conlmo-
:lrus warehouse erected. He is, in the
;:'ean;ime, prepared, as heretofore, for
liz reception of freight and passengers.
