members of the estublishment retiring to rest everything seemed
perfectly safe, and about tWo o'clock several of the boys, Who were

almost suffocated. They immediately left their beds, and began to
search for the cause of the annoyance, when they found it pro-
ceeded from the gallery in the boys' school, which was enveloped

the dormitory room, where the boys were sleeping. The alarm was
immediately given, every member of the establishment waS called
