GREAT FIRE IN AMERICA. - One of those great conflagrations which seem peculiar to America, broke out at Sug Harbour on the 18th February. The wind was blowing a gale at the time, and the fire spread rapidly, communication with the houses at the opposite side of the street and destroying property valued at 100,000 dols. Even shops and dwelling-houses were destroyed, together with a chemical works, flour mills, etc. A heavy snow squall prevailed during the burning. ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH NEAR BALLINAMALLARD. - On Monday last, Mr. KNIGHT, sub-sheriff, and Alexandra IRVINE, bailiff, proceeded to Mossfield, near Irvinestown, for the purpose of giving possession of a tenant belonging to a man named William M'GARAGHAN to Mr. William ARMSTRONG, of Laragh, Ballinamallard. The latter was at the place awaiting the officials fo the law about noon. The tenant had gone, leaving the door locked, which the sheriff opened, and gave possession in the usual form to Mr. Armstrong. The sheriff and Irvine having got into their "trap," proceeded to the Irvinestown Road about 400 yards, followed by Mr. Armstrong; and having got about 100 yards on the road the sheriff looked behind, when he saw Mr. Armstrong at a short distance prostrate on the ground. Irvine immediately got down and ran to his assistance, followed by Mr. Knight. On lifting him up he was bleeding, and the sheriff immediately ran to a house at some distance, where he obtained water and some restorative, which they applied in the best way they could - Irvine supporting Mr. Armstrong all the time on his knees. A number of the tenantry soon gathered, and Mr. Armstrong was placed in the trap, and driven home by Irvine, during which he was conscious and spoke but vomited twice, while the sheriff hastened over the country taking the shortest way to Laragh, to acquaint his family of what had happened. On reaching home he as brought into the house, and medical assistance sent for, but had ceased to breathe. Mr. Armstrong was a gentleman who was well liked in the locality for many good qualities, and his sudden demise is much regretted by his tenantry and acquaintances. He had attained a good age, and it is thought the excitement occasioned by the duty discharged by the sheriff produced the melancholy event. (County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project)
