An ineendiary caught in the act A
few days since as one of our well known
business men was about to leave his office
for an hour or two, his eye happened to
glance at q table drawer, which stood half
open, in which lay few matches. The sun
was shining in at the window, and the rays
fell directly upon the matches, which were
of the ordinary square kind. As his eye
caught the matches, he observed smoke
rising thcrelrom, and in n few moments,
had the discovery not been made, the room
and perhaps the whole building would have
been in flames. Query--May not many of
our mysterious and supposed inccndiary"
fires result from similar causes?
