GREAT FIRE AT IRASBURGH.-The mo
destructive fire, probably, that ever vi
tied Irasburgh, broke out in the G..
" Newland store building on Thursd
evening and destroyed two stores, tv
O dwellings and several barns and on
buildings. The fire caught in a partiti'
in the back part of the Newland buildin
in the afternoon and was quite easily e
tinguished, as was supposed. Soon {
o ter fire was discovered in one of t

was put out, but men were engaged
watch the building, lest new breakil

moved from the tenement overhei

house with sheds and barns belongi
to Thomas Fisher, which easily took f

no insurance and the loss for him is W
