nearly, 100000 lbs. North America

made upon the atmosphc for the vegeta-

lS- The dwelling house of Mr. D. Irons, OF
Mystic Bridge, Ct., came near being burned, n
few nights since, through the carelessness of a
servant girl, who took light for the purpose
of retiring, but stopped up to do some sewing.
She getting asleep her clothes caught fire when
she rushed down stairs, and Mr.. Irons attempted
to strip the burning clothes from her, but fail
ing to do this, he threw a bed blanket around
her, which smothered the fire. The girl was
burned 50 badly that there is some fears that
she will not recover.
