The screams and cries of the inhabitants were dreadful, as most of them were buried under the ruins. 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. The most horrid groans were heard in the ruins, but in consequence of . some timber stopping up the way, the bodies could not be got .otit for sonic time alter.

Wilt:ani &Jailers, of Falwalton, itt t Nottinghamshire, took his master's cattle to water, as usual, at the trough of an old pump, which is at some distance from the house ; upon which occasion he, as he frequently did, washed his mouth with the water, when to his I;reat surprise be found that the wat e r took all the skin fron oil . the inside of his mouth : instantly he went to house of his master, who had just had his breakfast,, and toll him of the circumstance, at the same time dechcring it to he hii opinion that the water had been poisoned. 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. Some of the water has since been . sualysed, and proved to be poisoned by a solution of arsenic.
