from a chimney, precisely in the centre of
our village, and spread wi(h inconceivable
rapidity through every .street. It was juj*
af\er the congregation had been dismis^,
about half |>ast I'J o’clock, when the fire
was first discovered, and in leas than one
hour and a half our \dlage was literally a
" sea of flame.” The g^xnls were consumed
in the streets, the engines were burnt at
their stands. Sf»me who had property re*
moved to a distaiKC in expectatum of safe
ty were di.sap|»ointed ; toos»K>n the destroy
ing element n*ached them. Tlie church^,
though at a distawe from each other, were
.‘iiton in flames. Tlie tall steeple of tho
Presbyterian church seemed a pyramid of
fire ; for a while it stood firm, sx(n tin* bell
descended with a crash—tl.c steeple trein-
bleil, tottered, and fell. The KjHscofial
churt'h, which aj>p«rently caught at th«
same time, was soon in ashes.
As I waislered through the out-skirts of
the place, to administer relief so far as pi«-
nhle lu the di.stremel, my heart sunk with,
in me. The sick were borne out of their
j houses, and were lyutg on pallets in |!q
street. Others, faint and exhausted, were
reclining on the b«Hl8 which had lieea
thrown out. Kvery’ moment our ears were
iftunned wiih the explosion of powder, to do
inolish the buildings which might stay the
llame. Hut although many were thus le
velled, tlieie was nut strength to pull tho
timliers frnin the reach of the coiiflagra*
