were extremely crooked, and so narrow that
the next, came near enough together for
lovers to shake hands, if not to kiss, from
garrett TO garnet over the way. Houses
were generally of wood or lathed and plas-
tered on the outside. The FIRE consumed
1900 houses, and nearly all the churches

loss was estimated from Gl0,000,000 to
