GEORGETOWN, May 10, 1855.
yesterday morning about o'clock, as Mr..
George Craig was on his way to Washington,
and when near the Georgetown School House,
his attention was arrested by a bundle of cot
Ton clothing on fire, which fell from a broken
pane in one Of the upper windows of small
frame tenement. Surprising something to be
wrong inside, he forced the door open, which
was locked, and went in. Upon going up
stairs he found tho window curtains, bed and
portions Of the bedding on fire, and an infant
child sound asleep upon the bed. Mr.. Craig
made no alarm, but went coolIy to work, and
in few minutes succeeded in extinguishing
the IRE, and saving the life of the infant upon
the bed, and another small one which was in
the house at the time, both Of whom would
soon have been sutfocated by the smoke 1t
appears that the mother of the children,
colored woman, had gone out, leaving the
children locked up in the house, which was
certainly very wrong; and while she was gone,
the eldest, about three years old, had got hold
OF box of matches, and set fire to the place
which must have done considerable mischief

time he did.
