Many trusted to their fire-proof buildings, but these crumbled before the excessive heat; and others thought their property without the reach of the flames until it gas too late. But the greatest difficulty was the exceedingly rapid spread of the fire and the blinding which enveloped everything and almost made it im possible for our citizens to do anything. Mrs, M.
