A Whole Viixaqb Bttbnt.—A dreadful calamity has befallen the little village of Fierrefitte, in the department of tho Oorrcze._ The other morning an inhabitant was carrying a pan of burning coal to his cottage, when the wind, whioh was blowing very hard, drove some of the embers to the thatch, and quickly set fire to the building. Favored by the wind, the flames spread rapidly, and in less than an hour the whole village, with tho exception of the schoolhouse and the church, was destroyed. No human lives were lost, but a number of cattle perished in the flames.
