the Safe in use by H. A. Lanlz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans g. Watson, and put
III books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started al 81 O'Clock, A. NJ.
and kept up until four cords of green hickory.
Two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the suPerlnlendence of The subscribers, MEM

cooled off with water, after which they wers
opened, agd The books and papers taken OUT

ing into a field some distance off they commepc-
ed picking strawberries. The owner Of the field
seeing them on his grounds, gave chase to them,
and drove them into the water. Though exhaust
ed by their long run they attempted to re-swim
the river, but all failed and sank. The owner Of
the strawberry field refused 70. some time TO allow
his boat TO be sent to their rescue. until Young
man OF this city cut another boat from its moor
ings and succeeded ia reaching three of the party
before they sank. But Stowe, who was the hind
most, failed before the boat reached him. and
though his body was recovered within fifteen
minutes, life was extinct.
