DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
No, since the Big Fire" have We had 80
disastrous results from any eonfagraiion a.
from those OF last Monday night and Tuesday
forenoon. There were several fires during
th. time but the first one broke ont AZ the
South End at about IL o'clock 7. NJ. from Box
6s, in building that was nearly filed with
lumber and furniture, which was good food
for the flames, and A. the wind was very high,
in fact. blowing almost a gale, the large brick
building was soon wrapt in smoke and fire.
The roof almost Immediately fell in, and then
the devourng element seemed to have full
sweep and the illumination was most magniii-
cent, for quite distan &c from there could be
seen the angry flames Us they SCARED heaven
ward together with seemingly countless mil
lions of bright sparks. Other buildings soon
caught on Plympton street, and much damage
was done. Before this was fairly subdued. an
alarm came from the CharlestOwn District. and
here a in Boston the wind, aided the flames 80
much. that they spread rapidly and caused
quite loss of property. Many buildings fell
prey. and four cars belonging to the Fitch
burg Railroad and the new ship Reporter
which was owned in Sewburyport, were con-
siderably injured. The ship was finally saved
by cutting her away, but not until she had
sustained damage Of about $1,000. The hard
worked-fremen looked like moving iceburgs
and were about TO leave for home when anoth-
er fire near by was discovered which proved
more serious even than the other, and while
this fire was raging wildly the alarm from IS
was again struck and neither of them were
subdued until about 10 A. VI. Wednesday.
The mercury was down to zero and the brave
firemen are deserving Of great credit for their
efforts in subduing fire that was so difficult TO
handle. Such a calamity is sincerely TO be re-
GREETED as the outlook for those out of employ
ment was dubious enough before, but now five
hundred more, most of whom have families
dependant on them for daily bread, are with
out work, and few were deprived of shelter.
This will add new duties to the work which
already devolves upon the charitably inclined
citizens Of Boston. 1t is estimated that the
loss from the three fires combined, amounts to
nearly half a million Of dollars.
THE LAST MILL RIVER DISASTER
took place last Saturday. The dam which had
been endorsed by State and County officials
gave way ut Hsydenville, the scene of the other
great disaster. The cemen; had been made
worthless by the frosts Of the winter, and this
was the cause of the new stone dam being ear.
Tied away, and with the appalling destruction
which visited them last May, fresh in their
minds, it is not to be wondered at, that when
1t was known second calamity was coming
upon them almost . panic ensued. A large
number were skating on the pond when
the alarm was given and they fed for their
lives, while people rushed out Of their houses
expecting every moment to be swallowed ND,
but fortunately no one was injured except by
fright The destruction Of the dam was very
