Great Fire at Frugaliiy.

A correspondent at Ashville writes us q
short account of the great fire at Frugalitv
on Sunday morning us follows A disas-
trous fire occurred at Frugality on the
Crcsson q Coalport railroad early ON Sun
day moIning last. 1t was first discovered
at about o'clock in the morning The
store WAS in full blaze when discovered.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from the furnaces in the basement. A
family living IN the second story escaped
from the windows, some of them only
partly dressed. The fire crossed the
street, which is about forty feet wide, and
burned down the large hotel in twenty
five minutes. Nothing was saved from
either building. The guests at the holel
lost everything. The buildings were
