this steamships are leaving this port loaded

IL heart -sicken.ng and terribly touch.
ing incident occurred in town, last Friday
Between II and o'clock the church. bells
rang out upon the air the always appalling
intirlation Of fire. Every one rushed toward
Main street, to learn that Mr.. II. C. RoBard's
residence was in flames. The cheeks Of men
who were never known to finch In the pres.
ence Of danger, blanched under the accumu-
lation of terror and horror. A few hours be
fore Mrs. Ro Baris had yielded up her spirit
and large number Of ladies had assembled a,
the house, busy In preparing the body for in-
terment. When the alarm was given. the
scene was horrifying beyond description Oh
Imagination, as the dreadful reality came tc
the hearts Of the afflicted family. We do moi
remember, in all our two-score years, more
distressingly painful occurrence. The roof
We understand, caught on fire from the chin
ney. A very large fire had been built in the
fire. place, and the sparks thus Occasioned ig'
nited the roof. 1t was speedily extinguished
and the afflicted family were eased from theil
dreaded apprehensons.

II Sunday night we were treated 10 the
best storm within the knowledge OF the old
est iphabtant. Borcas was wild and unman-
ageablc, and cut some strange and curious
capers." He overturned smoke-houses, blew
down trees demolished fences, and kicked up
a fuss generally. He roared like battery OF
artillery; howled like pack of inluriated
blood -houads; clustered like score of old
maids, and ragged, ranted. rared. rolicked and
rip. taved like a billion Of freshets. Monday
morning came, and with it devastation. The
upper part of the front of our office building
blew out on the sidewalk. Now, there Is
something strange about the walls falling
out Of instead Of into the building. We have
since learned the philosophy OF the event.
We borrowed pair Of bellows some time
since from Dr. l.. c. White, and coming from
that locality they were somewhat gasy. The
wind outside was not as powerful as the bel
lows. wind inside. and the wall gave way.
1t fell, and great was the fall thereof. Brick
and boards and mortar lay on the ground in
a conylomerate mass. Men are busy at work
on the building, and everything will soon be
right again.
