The fire began at Mr. Hedge's farmer, whose house together with 11 others was in a short time consumed, besides a number of barns and other out-buildings, several stacks of corn and hay, a large quantity of grain, flour, &c.- three or four pigs and some poultry also perished in the flames, the rapidity of which was such, that many of the unfortunate inhabitants were able to save but a small part of their household furniture, &c. Upon the news arriving here, the Supplementary Militiamen immediately set off from hence with engines, to assist the sufferers, and were very instrumental in stopping the progress of the flames. The property destroyed amounts to a very considerable sum; and what renders the calamity the greater, not the smallest part of it was insured"
