The guns have thundered at whig as well as loco-foco victories, and upon days of general sorrow and rejoicing. They have spoken in welcome to many a distinguished man. In the early light of August 3, 1837, there lay, in a great heap on the Green near the town pump, hundreds of the long, leather "fire- buckets, " one or more of which w^ere owned by every householder, and on each was painted its owner's name. Those who were out of bed all night, watching the destruction of a large part of the bus...i- ness centre of New Haven, had . Seen a long line of women passing these buckets from one to another, as they were used to fill the fire engines with water from the town pump, the women passing the empty buckets and the men the full ones. From a little after eight o'clock in the evening of August 3, the skies had been lighted by the conflagration which had threatened to burn down a large part of the town. A strong wind blowing from the south scattered pieces of burning shingles over the roofs of buildings more than half a mile away and fires were kindled on the top of many houses.
