ALARMING FIRE.—FOUR LIVES SAVED BY THE
FIRE ESCAPE.—On Tuesday, about a quarter before 11
o'clock, the oil and Italian warehouse oelonging to Mr.
Bowman, No. 3, Tottenham court-road, was discovered
by police-constable No. 70 Etobe on fire. The officer
immediately sprang his rattle and raised an alarm, and
after repeatedly knocking at the front door, he succeeded
in arousing the inmates, consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
Tompkins, the lodgers, with their two children. These
parties were sleeping on the second floor, and upon be-
ing aroused from their slumbers, found the building so
filled with sulphurous vapour and smoke, that none of
them were able to make their descent by the staircase.
Mr. Tompkins made the best of his way to the front
room on the second floor, the only place of escape left,
when the police called to him, and told him to remain
until the fire escape arrived. The man, appre-
hensive that some of the gunpowder or other
inflammable articles would explode, was just on the
point of throwing his family out of window when two
of the Royal Society's fire escapes arrived. The con-
ductors having mounted their machines, they entered
the second floor, and in the back room they found the
four parties above mentioned, whom they succeeded in
carrying in their arms and dropping them down the can-
vass bagging of the machine. So dense was the smoke
that the female was completely overcome and dropped
senseless on the staircase prior to being conveyed to the
front room, and the conductor himself nearly fell as he
was carrying the parties out. The engines of the Lon.
don Brigade and West of England Company quickly at-
tended, under the command of Mr. Braid wood and
Messrs. Staples and Connorton. Plenty of water having
been obtained the flames were extinguished, but not
until considerable damage was done. Mr. Bowman was
fortunately insured in the County Fire Office. The ori-
gin of the fire is unknown. A strong muster of police,
under Mr. Superintendent Grimwood, rendered essential
aid to the firemen, by keeping the great crowd of spec-
tators out of the reach of danger.

STRINGY CABBAGE.—The Cornorian has the fol-
lowing joke on a husband, who was accustomed to come
home late at night, in a "corned" state, and taking a
cold bite, which was usually set for him by his kind and
forgiving wife. One night, beside the usual dish of
cabbage and pork, she left a wash- bowl, filled with caps
and starch. The lamp had long been extinguished when
the staggering sot returned home, and, by mistake, when
proceeding to satisfy his hunger, he stuck his fork into
the wrong dish. Ho worked away at his mouthful of
caps for some time, but being unable to masticate them,
he sung out to his wife, " Old woman, v 4 here did you ger
your cabbages, they are so stringy I can't chow them?"
"My gracious!" replied the good lady, "if the stupid
fellow aint eat all my caps that I put in starch over
night."
