A fire occurred in Donaldsonville on the night of the 15th inst. The Coast 
Journal says:

The house adjoining the old Methodist Church was discovered to be on fire. The 
flames spread with amazing rapidity, and not-withstanding the efforts of those 
present, were not stopped until the house in which the fire originated, together 
with the adjoining residence, occupied by Hypolite Degruise, f.m.c., were 
totally destroyed. The building in which the fire originated belonged to Mr. 
Gingry, and was occupied on one side by the Jews, as a synagogue, and on the 
other by a private family. The loss, as far as we have been able to gather, sums 
up as follows: Mr. Gingry, $1500; Hypolite Degruise, $1500; Jewish synagogue, 
$150; family living in Mr. Gingry's house, $100. Total $3250.00.
