Terrible Affair.

During the winter family named Rogers

OF the family, who is carpenter by trade
was addicted to lntemperance, and was sci.

bors,
1t was an ordinary occurrence to hear
sounds of discord in the house and at eleven
o'clock, last night, when the screams of the
inmates were heard no special wonder was ex-
cited.
Soon, however, flames we're seen issuing
from the hoaas, and . few persons fastened to
the spot, but too late to save the lives of those
in the house, as the fire was too far advanced
to allow any person to enter Rogers, his
wife, andlsix children, the eldest not more than
ten years of age. managed to escape, but was
too much ffigA1ened to give an account of the
fire. .a e.
But few persons were present, as the alarm
Of fire was not general, and before an engine
had reached thegspot, the house was a smoul-
dering ruin.
We have neyer been called upon to record
more terrlhe occurrence. and it is the more

At the late hour at which we write it is i'm.
