Associate Reformed Church, 4th near Grant
Baptist Church, Grant st.


Bakewell's extensive Glass Works, Water,
above Grant.


Tho Monongahela House, destroyed with
all the furniture.


Monongahela Bridge, entirely destroyed. Ii
is rumored that several lives were lost on the
Bridge.


The Dallas Iron Works in Ppetown, entire
ly destroyed.


The loss sustained in the destruction of the
above buildings is immense, but it is small
when compared with the destruction of mer-
chandisc i'll warehouses on Water, Wood, lst
and Cd streets. The merchants found it i'm
possible to attempt TO save any thing; whole
blocks were destroyed in few minutes, and
the most they could do was to make an effort
to save their books, and but few of them sue
cecded even in that.


II will be many years before our city can re-
cover from the effects of this dreadful calami-
ty; it has cast blight over the commercial and
manufacturing enterprise of hundreds Of our
most worthy citizens, and i'll an hour has swept
from them all the profits of years of toll and in
dustry. To their fellow citizens who have been
fortunate enough to escape this wide spread
destruction, they must look for aid to ''com-
mence the world anew, and we are confident
they will not look in vain.


We write in the Furry, confusion, and ex
cltement OF the terrible time, and under the
physical WEAKNESS caused by laborng TO save
the furniture the house of one of the editors,
which was burned to the ground-therefore,
we omit much that we ought to notice-but we
have endeavored to give as full an account of
the calamity as we could,


We are informed that two lives were lost at
the fire yesterday. One was an old woman in
the neighborhood Of Grant and Sd sts., who
had no aid to remove her furniture and she re-
fused to leave her dwelling until it was too
late to save her. The other that we heard of
was gentleman doing business in Wood-st.,
but we hope it may be mere report. We hear
rumors of many lives being lost, bat as none of
the reports are authentic we refrain from Civ
ing them until we receive more reliable intor-
nation.
