FIRE.

About 8 o'clock on Friday morning q
fire broke out in the Store of Mr.. Sauter
Shoemaker, corner of jackson and Ellis.
For upwards of two hours the devourine
elerent ragged With terrible fury, but was
finally conquered BY the superhuman
exertions of our noble fireman. All
honor to these devoted braves! For
tunatly there was but comparatively little
wind blowing at the time, otherwise the
consequences might have been terrible,
as it was, fve small stores fell prey to
the frey monster. AS far as we have
been able to ascertain, the principal suf>
fers are Mr.. Sauter, shoemaker, and
Henderson & Carter, grocers, who lost
all. Messrs Pearce, Roach, shoemakers.
and Stephen Walton, Barber, were more
fortunate, having succeeded in saving
considerable amount Of their property.
It is supposed the fire originated in the
stovepipe which goes through the back
wall Of the building, and the house being |
old and dry, very readily caught fire.
We have not been able to learn the
amount Of property destroyed, but it
must be considerable.
