1t is with feeling of honest pride that your

tuition was founded in lS45, during the admin

The frantic inmates were seen at the
windows, surrounded by flames, and
shriekIng for help. Four children were
thrown into the streets, and were follow.
ed by their parents. Four were unable
to escape, and persisted in the flames.
Of these, two were men-named Howard
and Busby; and two were females-one
Miss Stacy, and the other daughter of

the former slept. Miss Stacy had man.
