BuRSISG OF a SPLENDID CHURCH EDIFIcE,
&C. Hartford, Conn.,, January 24.-St.
Patrick's church, Vicar-General James
Hughes pastor, was destroyed by fire early
this morning. Only the walls are standing.
The church was a iree-stone edi6ce, capable
OF seating $500 people. Among the church
property destroyed, which included the
sacred emblcms Of worship, was imported
music, valued at large sum, which the pas
tor had secured during period Of over
twenty years. All the valuable buildings
adjoining the convent, &C., were uninjured.
The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900; insurance,
$4,000. The origin OF the fire is in some
doubt, insurance people believing there was
some defect ia the furnace fues, and the pas.
tor thinking it the work of an incendiary.
The church will be Immediately rebuilt.
