Burning OF the HospitaI.

We gather seine further particulars of this
shocking calamity from the Hallowel Ga
zette: . ...
The Cause.-The smoke from the fur
mace was carried along through an iron pipe
laid on the bottom of the cellar, from t"en>
ty-hve TO thirty feet in length 10 tno at
chamber that was furred WIN pine JUS,
lathed and pastered on the INSIDE ~; i,"" 500
up on the outside with boards i"e P'"ee
where the fire was first discovered was aoou'
this elbow in the pine turing Vi ''e an 1"T r'
Der, and here 90 doubt me IRE ,ooA' Inc
rusb Of air into the cellar, and through the
hrotso norton of the air chamber carried
the smoke I'D through the hot air ffue into
the galleries, aud the galleries of the old
south wing were so full of the smoke in
few moments that il was impossible to keep
light burning in lantern half II minute
The difficulty of rescuing the inmates while
the galleries were filled with smoke of so
fatal a nature, may be easily conceived
Probably all that were lost persisted by suffo.
cation.
When it was decided to let out the inmates
the galleries were full of smoke and it is fear
ed the rooms OF a number were not unlocked
MIR. Henry Jones of Fayelte, one Of the a;ten-
tents whose violent insanity rendered 1t nee
essary to keep them confined, was lost IN
his endeavors TO save others. lie was at
tackled and knocked down 10y some OF the
insane, when they found themselves Tree, but
cleared himself from injury, and had sue
ceeded in providing the means of escape for
all under his charge, when he went back Tor
some article lie had left, and was lost
Another attendant, Mr.. Weeks, came near
being smothered in attempting 10 rescue MIR.
Jones. Ii was necessary 10 force some Of
the insane out of tue building. One poor
fellow rushed back and was lost. Some
came OUT with liitle or no clothes upon them
Others stood staring upon the fire, and
Others wandered off in all directions. Many
were taken to the jail the aims house and
TO private houses Mr. Armstrong of Gar
diner, formerly of tie Gardiner Hotel, who
had been in the institution but short time,
aud whose insanity was not OF very serious
nature, was lost.
He was notifed of the danger and twice
urged 10 harry out by his attendant. lie was
seen 10 come out of his room into the gallery
10 the open window of the verandaii, where
there was full opportunity 10 escape, but
from some unaccountable motive went back
TO his room.
Many of the patients when aroused from
sleep appeared sulky aud stupid. One ofthem
was so nearly recovered that he was TO be
