FIRE.
About nine clock on Sunday morning
lest just as we had finished our breakfast
we obser• d smoke to issue from the stove
hole in the ceiling of our breakfast room,
through which the pipe passed to the rooms
In the upper story. We immediately took
• pad of water sod ra up attire, for the
purpose of reaching the fire ; but upon
.peatng the door •t the head of the stairs,
etch s votm• of amok.- burst forth as al-
most to produce suffocation. it was lin -
poweble, without Ines of tffu, to penetrate
through the roadie to the location of the
ire, for the entire upper part of the house
was filled with smoke ; several persons
made the attempt, but wen driven back. -
By 1111. 11100 quite a number of persons had
assembled, who thinking the fire could not
be checked, commenced saving our effects.
The ire must have proceeded either from
the eolrtnca of the pipe into the stove
ehttnay u, from a separation of the j .into
of the glove pipe. the second story : whifb
latter .uppoattj11D :e the more plausible
from ties fact tett no flame whatever was

We had but • year sineo finished our

was a room wed for a wardrobe, in which
