Fey About 10 o'clock on Wednesday

Eay About 10 o'clock on Wednesday
night. Oct. 30, 1866, fire occurred at
St Mary's in the building occupied By
Messrs. Hcvcly & Bros, as a Grocery
and Provision Store near the depot, and
in little over two hours the whole of
their large stock, as we'll as the building
was a mass of ruins. In a few minutes
after the fire commenced (Which was
occasioned by the bursting of a kero-
line lamp,) the dense volume Of smoke
coming out OF the building was so great
as to entirely prevent the saving of a
single article, not even tho money on
hand or the books. Mr.. Frank "cis.
who upon the first alarm had rushed in
TO the building was with some difficulty
cxtricated. the door which had closed
on him had to be burst oten in order to
get him out. Mr.. Hcve'y ST., was
badly burned about the hands and wrists.
By tho great exortions Of the citizens
who were aroused from their beds and
soon on the spot the neiehboring build.
ings we're saved, although on fire sew
eral times. Valuable assistance was
rendered by the employees of the rail
road who brought up locomotive. The
water in the tank and boiler was hauled
to those around and pcntiiuily thrown
upon the adjoining buildings. Had it
been a windy night such as W. bave had
during the past summer there
is no calculating how much valuable
might have been destroyed.
Bre understand the Messrs Hevely had
IA insurance on the stock OF $1,000.
No insurance on the building.
