lost portion of their papers and library.
Mr. Shaw made very narrow escape,
through the sagacity and fidelity of his
dog. The circumstances Of which are as
follows:
He was awakened several times during
the night by the earnest whining of his
dog, which was in his sleeping room; and
feeling that something was wrong, he arose
and dressed himself and went down stairs
to reconoiterate the premises. Finding
nothing wrong, he returned to his room and
slept until about three O'Clock, when he
was pulled from his bed by bis faithful dog,
which laid hold of his arm to accomplish
this humane act of saving his masters life.
The room wac then full of smoke, and Mr.
Shaw effected very narrow escape from
burning to death, by jumping from his win
dow, upon the roof of an adjoining build
ing, leaving his clothing, trunks. &C., be-
hind.
This is the second disastrous fire whi h
has occurred in that place within the past
