John Peters, a sou of George Peters, jumped from bed on the first floor, and, pocking up a pail 011 water, dashed it upon the oil. This on- ly spread the flames. The fire now tar- ed and crackled as it crawled up the walla of the lower dat. The family were aroused. Most of them were on the up- per flat, and their steep, was apparently impossible.

Otterville is still in a ferment of ex- citement over the arrest of Rohe. Pearce and wife on a charge of poiaoniag. Their alleged victim was Henry Vataiokle,who kept • hotel hen. Vanaictle was 50 years of age and Mrs. Pearse was his wife. Her maiden name was Ivester, and bet family live in Woodstock. A year or so ago Vansickle married Miss Lester, who was much younger than ;Tx her husband and of an attractive appear- ance. Pearce was bartender in Van - sickle's hotel. In the course of time he aaluirel such intimacy with the young wife that they indulged in buggy rides and smiler amuseine•ata together. On one . ccas they were away f..r two days. Things went un this way until Novrnrber 19 last, when Vansickle was taken suddenly i11 and died. Then were suspicions st the tune that everything was not exactly right, but no evidence was forthcoming to substantiate theta. The young widow continued in the hotel business and Pearce kept his place as herteoder. She apparently found meth consolation for the loss of her husband in the young man's company. The winter passed in leve making, the result being that Mrs. Vansickle became Mae Pearce Wednesday of last week. In the meantime, Nathan Vansickle, brother of the deceased, had renewed his aspic as te the muss tit the hotel - keeper's death, which were strettetheeed by the statements (4 a young man named Janes Donaldson who boarded .t the holeL Donlldso n remembers hearing Potreo and his wife speak of the old man es a nonoses and Pearce had stated they wanted to Ret him out of the way. On the strength of Donaldson's statements Mr. and Mra Pearce were arrested Thursday Out jest as they were about to start on • honeymoon trip.

LORD 8T. LBONABDB. Vie Vele, afikaar Rsser1N by RIs des esstieeaeees. London, May I0.—Lord St. Leonards, whet is still w Breathed jail awaiting trial fur his criminal assault on Mees Emma Cole, becomes daily more obstre- perous. He has up to date been unable to raise money enough to pay for the prison luxuries which he has ordered and consumed, and his friends are fast de- viating him as they become convinced of the profound rascality of his sot. The eminent solicitors who went (rem Lon- don to his assistance when he was first anested have been unable to soften the committing magistrates into accepting tail, and the friends who at first rushed to his rescue with offers of bonds have withdrawn all interest in the mar. It is geesti.mable if the noble lord could t. - day secure bondsmen if hail were allow- ed. St. Leonards sews absolutely de- serted by all his friends, and he new thneatee to revenge himself urn the nobility for his outcast state. His Latest threat was made to -day. He declares that unless he is rescued from his pressed disgraceful position he will claim his pnrilege as a Laren to he tried by kis peen. This is • potent threat. If tslT- risd out s.oci af.11y in this ease it wool certainly remelt in a popolar ..eatery whish uaignt prove irresietiMy for the abolition of ell such remaining antiquated privi- leges of the lords.
