DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT QUAsQUEToN.-
Last Monday evening at about O'Clock,
the Livery and Feed Stable of A. P. Burr
hus, at Quasqueton, was discovered to be
on fire, the flames breaking through the roof
before discovered. The whole village raj
lied to the rescue with such appliances rs
were at hand, but the fire was too far adj
vanced to hope to save the building
Meanwhile, supcrhuman efforts were being
put forth to save the contents, including
eleven horses. These efforts were only
successful in getting out one of the ami
mails, the other ten perishing in the flames
The carriages and buggies were standing
in IL shed adjoining the main building, and
were also saved. Besides the ten horses,
there were burned Is tons of hay and
/ 200 bushels of oats the loss of Mr..
Burrhus III the aggregate amounting to
$4,000, upon which there was not cent
of insurance. This severe calamity falls
upon worthy man who is i'll prepared to
bear it, and who will have the sympathy
and assistance of the community in his
efforts to recupcrate. This misfortune
will not, we presume, be suffered to inter-
fere with the contract held by Mr.. Burr
hus tor carrying the mail from Rowley to
Winthrop. No serious accident to life or
limb occurred except to Mr.. f. W. Hast
ings, who had his hand severely burned
in attempting to open the stable door.
