THE FIR e.

A disastrous fire occurred i'm this vii
lage on Monday night last, resulting in
the total destruction of the well-known
Grayling House, owned 10y NJ. S. Hart
wick, and occupied 10y John s. Harder.
The fire was discovered at about
midnight, by some parties opposite the
hotel who happened to be laboring late
that evening, and who Immediately
sounded an alarm and rushed to the
rescue. The fire was first located in
the third story, and is thought by many
to have been the direct result of care
lessness.
The house was crowded from base
ment to attic with guests and boarders,
some of whom had narrow escapes, as
the building was highly inflamable and
burned like finder. After it was pretty
certainly ascertained that no sluInber-
ing lodger was left unaroused, the work
of saving something from the burning
wreck was begun by the assembled and
startled multitude that thronged the
scene, and not withstanding the work
was vigorously and expeditiously pros
ecuted. but small portion of the goods
were saved.
There was nothing rescued from the
large and well stocked cellar which
was the general larder of the house,
and which is n sad loss.
Many lodgers might be seen perem-
bulating around half-clad- minus a
! hat, coat, boots, or whatnot, which
was forgotten in their mad excitement
to reach terra-flrma, and which might
/ have been saved to them were they
cooler 'under fire; as it is. it will long
be remembered by many as fiery or
deal.
A great many funny incidents hap
pened during the progress Of the work
which would fill columns to relate, but
suffice it to say: that the man who
carried out the flat-irons and gently
deposited them in place of security
and then returned and heaved the
looking glass out Of the window was
! there?
Mr.. Hartwick, the owner, carried
| insurances on the building and furni
ture to the amount of So, 500, while
Mr.. Harder had his effects insured foi
81 500. The total loss will approximate
S6, 900.
