Dreadful Erenf.--The beautiful resi-
dence Of Widow Freme, near Brattleboro,'
Vermont, was destroyed by fire on Mon
day last. Mrs Frcme, we regret 10 state,
perished in the flames. Allihe barns and
oat-bnildings were also consumed, inclu-
ding three valuable horses, carriages, SC.
Four females saved their lives by jump
ing from chamber window. One, how
ever, was seriously injured by the fail.
p. S. Since the above was in type we
have received an extra from the office OF
the Brattleboro' Phoenix, from which we
obtain the following PARTICULARS
The inmates OF the house were all fe-
males, consisting Of Mrs Freme, her
two sisters, and two domestics. One Of
the latter was seriously bruised in Jump
Ing from window all the rest escaped
without harm except the lady of the man.
SION, who persisted in the flames! There
hssery reason to suppose she was suifo-
sated by the heat and smoke, so that her
end was not as painful as might at first
appear.
Mrs F. was an opulent widow lady, OF
English origin. She was Of most amiable
and engaging manners, and known far
near for her benevolence to the poor and
distressed. Her brother, Capt. Eben.
Wells, and his family, lived near by and
into their hearts will the afflic,ion sink
deepest.
Mrs Freme's mansion was handsomely
finished end furnished, and contained
smong other valuable, several splendid
pictures. Three horses-including the
noble span whose grace and feetness our
citizens have often observed and admired
were burnt in the stable.

Of those capable Of judging. If the river

without doubt, be brought together, and
