At 11 o'clock p. m., the village was again awakened by the cry of fire, and be- fore help could arrive the whole build - ng was in a blaze, and all precaution as taken to save the adjoining build- ings; the contents of the stores and neighboring houses were removed un- to the roadside, and for a time it was thought that the whole block would go, but hard work and a free applica- tion of water managed to keep the fire from spreading. About one o'clock a shower of rain fell, which greatly aid- ed in q uenching the fire. The whistle of an engine that had been thrashing during the day was tied down- so that the continuous blowing for over an hour brought people from far and near. Nothing of any account was saved from the hotel, and it is supposed Mr Miele will lose considerably, as the in- surance only covered half the cost, All the papers. are. belonging to the Foresters and Orange lodges were burned. It is supposed t he fire origi- nated from the remains of what was thought to have been put out in the afternoon.
