PIRE A ALDIRSHOT CAMP.

SEVM.rMEIGHT HORSES BURNT.

Yesterday morning a shocking and disastrous fire
occurred in the camp, at Aldenhott, in the stables of the
Military Train, adjacent to the Barrack Stone, resulting in
the destruction of 78 valuable bones. The building in which
the fire originated formed nearly two sides of a square, the
angles being respectively about 1(10 yards and 75 yeads in
length. It was built entirely of timber and straw, cud
formed one of • number of temporary stables allotted to the
hones of the ;loyal Artillery and Military Train stationed
on the South Camp. The firs was discovered about five
minutes pad five o'clock by a eer :ay on duty near the spot,
and by whom sedans. was promptly given. In a very for
minutes a large body of men were is attendsece, cad the
most strenuous exertions were used to remove the hones.
Unfortunately, however, from the nature of the build-
ing, which was one pile of inflammable materials., this
was found to be impossible. The flames spread with light-
ning-like rapidity, and in the short apses of ten minutes
the entire building was one man of dame. The screams of
the bones which were tethered to their malls with chains
were terrible, and, Incredible se it may appear, of the 89
within the building only 11 wen saved. This, however,
will not appear so strange when it is stated that the mann
of tigress and egress were few, end from this circumstance,
together with the quantity of forage ablaze inside, the
attempt to enter the building was fraught with the utmost
danger, and there was no alternstive but to let the poor
anneals perish. The Camp Fire Brigade. was promptly in
attends..., with three engines and a large number of
eze-wereerm. but, owing to a scarcity of aster, only one
engine could be brought into play. The horses in the ad-
joining stables were turned lona., and driven away from the
scene of the fire. and some of them roamed into the country
for many miles round. A strong eoutti-wet wind was
Minna& which bad the effect of carrying the flames directly
away from the adjoining stables, which being of the name
material as the blaring building must otherwise have
shared the same late. In less thee an hour the stable
was burnt to the grotto& and at 8 o'clock the scene was
of a truly harnfying nature. Amidst the burning ruins
the canaries of 78 horses, rednoed almost to cinders,
stood out in every conceivable position of sheath ...a,
emitting a sickening stench which was almost overpowering.
Large bodies of troops were turning over the &brie,
searching for the bodies of three men who, it wee supposed,
had perished In the flame in their eodeavoure to save the
bona, the firemen were vet busy directing the hoe over
portions of the space still furiously blazing, and officers were
riding about commenting epee the zed spectacle. At the
time of writing this account it was sot known whether any
human lives had fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element,
and Me origie of the Sr. was a mystery, bet it was supposed
to have been occasioned by a suspended slable.lansp setting
firs to the thatch of the building. Fifty-two of the burnt
hones belonged to the sth Battalion Military Train, and 26
to the god Battalion. Their value is roughly estimated at
2.5001. This, however, does sot represent the total loss, as
the heroes and accoutniniests within the building were
worth at least soother 5004 13ad am is the oceurrence it is
