Sa-tine.


Our town has been almost exempt from
fires for several years. but yesterday proved
TO be day Of alarms and disaster. At II
O'Clock A. NJ. the Church congregations were
broken up by fire alarm caused by the
flames appearing about the chimney of the
house OF Widow Coombs. The fire caught
from the heat of chimney which had been
burning out. but little damage was done.
About two O'Clock I. NJ. one of Deacon
Haich's barns was discovered 10 be in flames.
TheT1fthe hou,c,which was but sfcw feet from
the barn. was soon on fire and strong wind
was driving the devouring element towards the
noble old family Mansion. one Of the largest
and best houses in the town. The two engines
were soon on the ground and in working order,
but the supply OF water was scarce and the
conflict seemed TO be fearfully unequal, but all
worked with will and the fire was subdued
after destroying the stable and burning por-
iion of the l.. The main house and furniture
suffered considerable injury. through the efforts
TO SGrc things. from Whist seemed the impend-
ing destruction.
The fire companies and many citizens labor
ed with their usual skill and yigor and the
Normsl ,tudcni. rendered most valuable aid.
" hcn there are plenty OF horses in town it
seems to lie poor policy to require men snd
boys 10 drag heavy engines long distances, and
perhaps up steep hills, and then require them
TO man the brakes when they are nearly
exhausted with work, that horses might have
