The watchmen gave the alarm, and in a short time about SCO persons sur. ounded the spot, many of whom set about digging the unfor • tunate persons from their perilous situation An old man with an 3 infant in his arms, dead, was the first shocking spectacle that . presented itself. The infant had been brought to the house only a few days before to he weaned. The bodies were imnie - diately conveyed to a• public-house near the spot.

Provieentially, the maid-servant, contrary to her master's pill:. rs, had that morning filed the kettle from the new pump, whic:i is much nearer the house than the other, or, no doubt, the contequences would have been fatal.
