by several mechanics. la a few moments it spread both 

 east and west, and its progress was not sensibly arrested, 

 until every house between the street which crosses Main 

 Street at Judge Krutz's and Main Cross street, were en- 

 tirely consumed. Upwards of thirty families are turn- 

 ed homeless into the streets. The part of the town 

 which is now in ashes, was the most business doing and 

 populous, as well as most valuable; stores, offices, shops, 

 taverns— all have been consumed. We suppose the 

 whole loss not less than one hundred thousand dollars !

THE Subscriber offers for sale a Farm situated in the town 

 of Marlboro', Mass. about half way between Howes' Tavern 

 and the Lower Mecting-House. It consists of 140 acres of ex-

For the last 25 years, this estate has been improved by Mr. 

 William Wilson, deceased, and for 50 years previous thereto, it 

 was known as " Munroe's Tavern." The excellent quality of 

 its soil, the large and valuable quantity of wood, and its other 

 numerous advantages, make it a most desirable situation for a 

 farmer; while its situation {on the old road to Worcester, on 

 which the travel is great, the distance from any other tavern 

 ,iu<\ its former notoriety as one,) makes it a no less desirable 

 situation for a Tavern again. 



The above estate, free from all incumbrances whatever, will 

 be sold on Friday the first day of November, unless previously 

 disposed of by private sale. As also, at the same lime, all the 

 cattle, a large quantity of hay and grain, farming utensils, &c.

WINTER BARLEY. 



A few bushels of this valuable grain for sale at this office. 

 The great advantage of this grain is, it enables the farmer to 

 lay ibmn his land in the autumn, when he is not so much hur- 

 ried, and when the land is generally in a better state for leaving 

 it smooth, than in the spring. This has been successfully raised 

 for the last four years in the eastern part of this State, and 

 stands the winter admirably. 2w o 23
