Transcription
On Tuesday afternoon, about 2 o’clock, the House of Miss Crandall, in Canterbury, was discovered to be on Fire, in a place and under circumstances which render the origin of it inexplicable. The smoke and flame burst out from between the plastering and outer covering, in the corner of one of the front rooms, farthest from the fire place. The inmates of the dwelling were very much terrified, but with the assistance of the inhabitants of the village, soon extinguished the flames.— Unionist .
