In response, a It number of willing workers, headed by Mr Eva builder, qaickly wended their way to the House, aou rendered praiseworthy efforts to extinguish the fi-imes. The workhouse fire engine was brought out, and with all speed got to work.

The fierceness of the flames was increased, and the volumes of smoke made denser, by the ignition of about ten gallons i f paraffin oil, which was stored in a building adjacent to too cow-shed. At one period it was thought that the dead-house would have been lighted, owing to the extreme heat which was thrown out, but by plenti- fully pouring water on the erection this calamity was averted.

The building, an oid structure with a thatched roof, standing deluened in some fields, was of a very inflammable nature, and the flames spread w.th alarming rapidity. The children were in bed. aud Mrs Jones rescued them with great peril aud difficul- ty. during which duty she sustained teveral burns. The little ones, six in number, were simply clothed in their night dresses, and were kiudiy tken in and sheltered by sympathising neighbours.

Nearly everything was destroyed, the amoant of the damage bting estimated at .£5(), Un- fortunately, the propartv was uninsured.
