DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE LATE GENERAL
LicON'a. BRo Ape Ar, FEB. 21.—A Are broke ontat the rest-
deoce of the late General Lygon, at Spring-hill, near this
place, on Tuesday, which has proved most destructive. The
house had been unoccupied, except by domestics, sines the
death of the general a few months ago, but on Tuesday
morning the servants were aroused by a sense of suffocation,
and on getting up they discovered that the butler's pantry
was on Ore. The house is 'Bute in a romantic position on
the Broadway Hill, but some miles from any town, so that
some time elapsed before Are-engines could be brought from
Campden, Broadway, and Moreton. In the meantime the
neighbouring fanners and their labourers was strenuously
employed in rescuing the pictures, furniture, and valuables
from the burning building, and by a judicious use of water
they succeeded in preventing the fire extending to the
principal suite of rooms. The late general's bedroom, Eari
Beaucliamp's bedroom, the pantry, and several other rooms
near, however, were completely gutted. The property
raved, however, was very considerable, said to be worth
30,000 f. A tel was desisitched to Earl Beauchamp,
at MadresfieLl, distant :to miles, early in the day, and his
larialtip arrived at tiering-bill in the afternoon. By this
time the firemen had obtained an ascendancy over the firs,
and soon afterwards it was completely extinguished. The
damage is estimated at between 5,000 f. and 6,000 L Of
course the property is insured. The origin of the fire is
not certainly ascertained, but is believed to have been
caused by a beam in the chimney of the butler's paltry
taking Are.
