may be formed of the state of consternation. oe 1.!;00
thrown into. Owing, however, to the precauti,,: Albert
by the heads of the Institution, not one of t't" of be
was hurt in being removed, and from the 0c oohs'
having been well wrapped up, it is to be hoped se
will not ultimately receive any injury. As 0013reid.riiir
formation was received at the fire-stations, Mr. the elf
the superintendent, and Mr. Colf, the foreman of de enreor
