we have not seen it noticed, merits, from its

fire was discovered in the lower story. The
poor woman appeared at the third story

child about six years old, almost lifeless,
which he found in a corner Of the back room,
nearly smothered Thus was the whole
family saved by the intrepidity of the fire,
