Grant and Wilson.
FROM the Battle Creek Journal We learn that
Mishawaka, small town Of about 5000 inhab-
itants, situated four miles east Of South Bend,
on the Michigan Southern and Peninsular Rail-
way, was nearly destroyed by fire Thursday
night. The fire broke out in barn, and soon
large portion OF the town was in flames. The
only means for extinguishlng the fire was a
small hand engine, but owing to the lack OF
hose it could not be used 4 dispatch was sent
to Eikhart and South Bend for assistance and
the former place cent down one steamer a nd
the latter two hand engines. The engines from
South Bend were sent down on the Peninsular
Railway, and from those on the train we learn
the particulars OF the confagration. The fire
destroyed the entire business portion of the
own, including the new Town Hall, Methodist
and Presbyterian Churches. The only property
saved was the Milborn House block, in which
are three stores, the only ones now open IN the
town. The loss is very great, so buildings hav-
ing been destroyed, and is estimated at 5000 600.
