The entire loss will reach nearly to one million dollars. — The insurance is being promptly paid by the different conipanies; their agents, arriving here soon after the fire, are rapidly settling claims. The loss is as follows : Home, New York $65,000 Hartford, Conn 40,000 City, Albany 16,500 Dividend Mutual, Glen's Falls. 22,000 Glens Falls Co 3,000 City Hartford, Ct 5,000 Massasoit, Springfield, Mass. 5,900 Liverpool and London. . . . 5,000 Phoenix, Brooklyn 2,200 Security, New York 8,300 North American, Hartford. . 1,400 The total loss on buildings has been footed up to $260,000, and on merchan- dise at $300,000. About one hundred and twelve buildings were burned, in- cluding some sixty stores, &c. 1^^ At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of this village held this after- noon a committee of five was appointed to make equitable distribution among the sufferers by the late disastrous fire, of such contributions as have been and may be made for their relief That com- mittee consists of Col. A. W. Morgan, Jerome Lapham, Stephen L. Goodman, Walter A. Faxon and Enoch H. Rose- krans. A further committee of nine, of which A. Sherman is chairman, was ap- pointed to consult with property owners in regard to the time and mode of re- building upon the burnt district, and endeavor to -secure a uniform -style of building, as far as practicable, which shall be both substantial and ornamen- tal. The citizens of this place are very grateful to the Firemen of Sandy Hill and Fort Edward, who came as it were on the wings of the wind to our assis- tance, and who, with our own " Defiance" and "Cataract," nobly fought the de- vouring element. Had it not been for their aid, much greater would have been the ruin. 1^° The citizens of Troy have con- tributed and sent up over eighteen hun- dred dollars towards relieving the great- est sufferers by the fire, with word that " more will- be sent." The recipients will be exceedingly grateful to the donors. At the time the fire broke out, we were printing the first side of the Messenger, which was all destroyed, with press, and nearly everything else in the office.
