fire then communicated to Il. G,

until that house, the Cong. Church,

hotel and out.buildings, together
with large quantity of wood, etc,
were consumed. The hall and alta.
bic OF the hotel were not burned,
and the walls of til house are still
standing; g good portion of the
furniture was saved and now Occu-

When the alarm was given the
people rallied as soon as could be-
expected, but being unprovided
with a fire engine, hooks, or other
means of extinguishiIg fires, could
only bring water in pals from the
river, but not enough to stay the
flames. The Village roofs being

covered with snow prevented the
sparks and cinders from spreading
the fire TO other buildings.
1t is the greatest fire we have had

years ago, when the business por.
