PESTBUCTION OF THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH.
On Sunday last a svd accident occurred
at Touch Cove, the beau til ul tburc of the
picturesque and thriving settlement be*
ing speeuily reducea to acnes notwith-
atanding the united andpersutttnt efforts ot
the people oi all denominations to cheobthe
ravages of the devouring element. The nre
which originated about tbe cem.ru of the
building was caused by tt aetachment ofl
a portion of the tunneling from the woodt
work, the that indication of the accident
being given about hall an bour after the
fire had beeu lit for morning service, residents in the immediate neigbboihood at
tirst imagining it to be nothing more than
puff of smoke caused by the wind blowing
over the church Upon closer attention
being called, ths conflagration was found
to be serious and although within a few
minute s, ladder a were in requisition and all
available assist ance rendered, owing to the
difficulty of getting water to the roof at an
almost perpendicular elevation of a ft y feet,
the building • soon became enveloped in
flaodee. With tne exception of church
furniture, auch as font, desks, communion
table, Ac, very iittle was saved. The
church we al»o learn was uninsured.
