The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

March 26. Last Wednesday night, about 11 o'clock, a fire was discovered in the Counting-House of the Cotton Factory at the upper end of Market-Street, in this city which suddenly spread through the whole of the building, entirely consumed the same, together with the raw materials there, about 20 pieces of unfinished goods, and a principal part of the machinery. Owing to the vigilance of the citizens, the dwelling house adjoining was preserved with part of the machinery and the account books--Fortunately, a large quantity of finished and unfinished goods were removed from the Factory a few days previous to the disaster. The loss is computed at about £.1000, exclusive of the buildings.
