/ The buildings of l.. l.. Church, III
Vershire, were all destroyed by fire on
Monday morning of last week. 1t seems
that Mrs Church was i'll, and her nus
band had been up several times III the
night to attend her, and had kept Il lire
all or part of the night. He got up
about five o'clock in the morning. and
had hardly time to get his sick wife, her
mother and one little boy, from the
house, before it was one sheet of flame.
His wife went to neighbours some half
ii mile, in her night clothes, having no
time to save anything. 1t is Thought
she received no serious injury from her
exposure and fright. Mr.. Church came
near losing his life. He had got out
his family, as he supposed, but hearing
IL stitled noise in the house, found he
had left his little son, and that he was
perishing in the flames. He burned
his face severely as he went toward the
house, but was glad to hear his wife
say warren is out here. The noise
proceeded from IL tavOrite dog, which
persisted in the flames.
