The tobacco factory of Esq. Thos.
II. Major, at Beverley, was destroyed
by fire Friday evening last. II con-
tanned about $4,000 pounds of tobac-
co, all of which was destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $500 and the in
surance was $500 During the day
n number of hands had been strip
ping and pricing tobacco and it is
supposed that the fire left in the fac
tory caused the conilagratlon by
communicating with the tobacco in
same way. We regret to hear of
Mr.. Majors bad luck and sympa-
thize with him in his misfortune.
