BURNED A TOWN.

| Forest Fires Wipe Out the Village of Greenbush, N. J. New York, July 18. —Every previous fire in the history of the southern part of the state of New Jersey has been outdone by the ola'ze which is at present sweeping through the vine belt. There seems but little hope of stopping the liaines as yet. Early Tuesday morning the flames reached a point near the little hamlet of Greenbush. The village stood in a little , clearing in the pine belt, and the stacks of hay and the dry wooden , buildings proved even better food for j the elements than the woods around.
