but ererytaing in it. OF the costly furniture of

china, porcelain and silver Of stores of yalua-
bfoFroTisions and. liquors, kept in room ad-
joining the msin building, not . vestigo remains.
The sleeping inmates sayod not even the ciothes
they had laid aside upon going toned. Seldom
.have We heard Of such complete destruction The

cendihry; it was communicated to the front of
the building, which was half consumed before
the mcrabers Of the family, sleeping in the rear;
became aware Of their,dangep. Col. GRiFrN wap
