AZ" a son ofWinbourn A. Sweat, Esq. of Milo
,eturninp from school, through the woods,

nf MIR. M'Intosh states, that OF his pigs,
and many sheep, were found dead, several
Of his cattle badly burnt, others that were in
the woods have not been seen since, and are
nrobably dead. This is no doubt the case
in other instances.


Hawks and ether birds were found dead
killed by the hre-and even the fish in the
riyer did not escape. Mr.. M'lntosh states
that 90 bass, weighing from 20 to 40 pounds,
and numerous young salmon, shad. trout, and
other small fish, were taken out OF the shoal
water and found dead on the shores of the
Piscataguis.


The fire is running IN this town within a
r,ile and half Of where we now write-it
has done much damage to the woodlands,
and occasioned considerable alarm for sew
cral houses and barns.


We have numerous other reports relating
TO damages which have occurred, but they
are not sufficiently authenticated to publish
for facts.


Mr. M'Intosh's family fed to the rive,
for safety.
