DEsTRucTIYE FIRE.



The largest and most destructive
condagration ever seen in Rich,
mond occurred on Wednesday night
/ At two O'Clock on the morning
above mentioned, a house on the
north side of Union street was dis.
covered to be in flames. The wind
was very high, and it was soon APP
parent that a great destruction Of
valuable property was unavoidable.
Famed by the winds the huge
flames wrapped house after house
in rapid succession along Union
street. and people on all sides de-
voted themselves to saving what
they could of the movable prop.
erty, such as furniture, stocks of
goods, &c
Three or four houses in this
block were protected by tre-proof
walls and escaped destruction.
Ellis & Green were insured for
$4,000; Luxon for $1,000 on drug
stock (most of this was saved).
All Of these were insured in the
Franklin Fire Insurance Company,
Of Philadelphia. Other companies
will lose much more than the Frank
lin.
The Etna will incur a loss of
about $4,000; North American,
Of Philadelphia, $1,000; Under
writer, $4,000; Andes, $4,000;
Home, Of New York, $4,000.
The loss over and above insur-
lnce will amount to at least $75,-
300.
The PostofIice was destroyed to-
yether with all the mails in it at
he time, including many regis
cred packages. We learn that
here.was no engine in this place,
md all attemps to subdue the flames
we're futile. Among the buildings
destroyed were two hotels, Webster
Iouse and Carpenters Hotel.
'ome gentleman came to the latter
otel very much intoxicated and
'as put TO bed. No one went to
rake him up and he has not been
cen since. 1t is supposed by many
nat he perished in the flames
