way, and the whole roof and walls fell at one crash,.
k.xcept a small piece of the wall, at which the end of
he bed stood. It supported the timbers and left a
Hole, through which the poor woman, with her infant
in her arms, escaped. She alarmed .the neighbours
with her cries' ~vho soon came to her assistance and
dug out her husband and one boy. Still there re-
mained another child.fast asleep in the bed and in im-
minent danger; but the roof of the bed being of wood
, sustained the weight of the rubbish, till the cries of
the poor woman awakened the child, who cried out,
to the great joy of all present—" I'm just rising,
mammy $" but the bed being broken, he was got out,
and in a moment the bed was filled with rabbilibv
which Rust hievitably bare smithired him.
