eIhnsuIsh The flames, the entire building, TO-
gether with the dwellings and stores, were en-
trely consumed. A very strong northwest
wind was blowing al the time, and the flames
were driven across the street 70 the terminus
OF Main street, the lower dock, where they
quickly communicated with row of build
opposite side of the street, and a lumber-yard,
al of which were totally destroyed.
Twenty dwelling-houses were burned 10

ABOUT fifty families. are made houseless by
this .srriole calamity Many OF the persons
burned ou; were laooring people, W no lost all

Of he most saddenIng that the eye was ever
called upon 10 witness. One lady, who mad

structures, with but one exception, and owing
10 the high wind and the ins uft ciescy of the
hre apparatus OF the village, the flames rapidly
consumed them. The firemen however
worked bIaveIy, and made every endeavor to
stay the progress OF the flames but with no
avail owing 70 the miserable apparatus with
which they We're provided.
Nearly all the buildings on the lower dock
were swept away, and the calamity has cast
gloom aver the whole village. The home
less families were provided for oy the villa
gers, and the American Hotel was thrown
open 20 the sufferers, many of whom break

could be bestowed upon them. In the after
