-On Sunday night, about
O'Clock, the attention of numbers o.
our people Was attracted by a
bright, red glare, in the direction
of Tougaloo, and on the morning
following it was ascertained that it
was..caused by the burning of one
of the buildings of the colored
University at Ton galoo. The bull
ding was entirely destroyed, to-
gether with all it contained. In it
were the doraitorles, recitation
rooms, and college library. The
building was erected some years
age, at cost of ten thousand doll
lars; it is thought that six or
seven thousand dollars Will, at this
time, cover the damages. The ex-
ercisss of tho school have not been |
interrupted, but go on regularly as
heretofore. The fire was the result
of a faulty fiue.
