forts to saving what he could, which
consisted of small portion of the
clothing and bedding of the family.
The loss will amount TO some 800, on
which there is insurance amounting TO
perhaps $500 TO 800.
On the evening of the 18th, the
alarm of fire was raised at the Green
Mountain House, and flames were seen
TO be issuing from the roof beside q
chimney. II had got so good foot
hold and was SO high that efforts to cx-
tinguish it were frnitless, and the la
bors of the crowd that gathered were
directed to the saving Of property in

joining buildings from the effects of the
rain of cinders that had fallen thickly
on all surrounding objects, which was
