Great Fire!--At 2 o'clock on Sunday morning last, the inhabitants of this village were called to witness the most destructive fire with which we were ever visited. It commenced in the kitchen of Mr. Campbell's Hotel, lately occupied and still owned by Mr. Heart, and spread with astonishing rapidity to the body of the house, on the one hand, and the out houses and barns on the other, until the whole presented one entire sheet of flame. The wind blowing fresh from the south east, very soon communicated the flames to the adjoining house of Samuel Mattocks, Esq. from which they extended to the large building containing the store of Messrs. Hagar and Ripley, the office of Edward Fell, together with a tailor's and a shoe-maker's shop, and a spacious lodge room; extending back at the same time to two barns belonging to Mr. Mattocks, and one of Mrs. Miller.
