things hut his carpet, which was ruined iy
water and Ill usage. His ss is PERHAPS

Mr.. III. b. Burt, who occupies No. 81
Merchants row, in Kingsley and Sprague's
block, adjoining the Bates house. had n
stock of dry goods valued at $50 900. He
was insured for only $1,000 He put off
moving his stock as long as it seemed safe.
and when the Insurance agents directed that
it should be done the goods we're carried to his
house, corner of West and Grove streets.
His loss, by waste and destruction OF stock,
and interruption to business, will be, per-
haps, $4,000. Mr. Burt's house presented
an odd appearance. The surplus dry goods
were banked up in the front and back par
lors, the dining room and kitchen, as
though they might have stormed down, and
the windows, having been left open, dry
goods of every name, shape, color and cou-
dition had drifted iu. And some are not
so dry-pieces of muslin, damasks, etc,
having the appearance OF having been
dragged through the street. 1t was PIC
turesque and novel to see the smilax creep
ing over pieces of bed-ticking in the par
lor, the dining room furniture groaning be-
meath the fruits of-the loom while the
cook could hardly turn around for the
"domestics" that almost crowded her out
of her realm For once in the world family
had more dry goods than they wanted
even Flora McFlmsey would have said,
enough.
Last evening Mr.. Burt had got his goods
back in No. 81, and will put them in Or
der to-day. He desires 10 thank those who
helped him to move his goods for their
services.
