NARROW EscAPE.-The dwelling of John S.
Hayes, Esq., at Towards old furnace, near Stem
mers rum 18th district, narrowly escaped destruc-
ton by fire on Monday morning last. Mr.. Frank
J. Stuart, Mr.. Hayes son-in-law, had a wood fire
in tne Fireplace of his bedroom on Sunday and
on Monday morning, the fire, to all appearances,
having gone out, quantity of light wood which
had been left from the day before was thrown into
the fireplace and the wooden fire-board put up
A few hours afterwards the family smelled smoke
but could not determine where it came from. FL
nally Mrs Stuart went to her room and was hor-
rifed to find the whole interior in a blaze. She
gave an alarm and two coored men employed on
the farm were quickly on hand with water, and
the FIRE was soon put out. The only solution OF
how the fire originated was that there was still
some fire left in the Fireplace and that after the
light wood was thrown on it soon ignitcd and se
fire to the fre-board. Then the mantle piece and
floor caught, and it was only the timely discovery
which saved the whole house from destruction
About $50 worth of furniture was burned, includ
ing a rocking chair, clock, mating, &C., and thu
balance was badly damaged by the heat anC
smoke.

Brooklandville, in company with two other ladies,
were on their way to TowsoEtOwp, the horses took

them but exerted himself to keep them in the
road They ran until in the rear of the residence
of DIR. Jarrett, when they overlook wagon heav
ilv loaded with coal. The driver, thinking this
his only chance to check the team, ran the horses
into the rear of the coal wagon. The collision
NOS so violent as to throw all the occupants ont,
but fortunately all of them escaped serious inju-
~. Mrs johnson, who is an aged lady, was
slightly bruised. they were removed to the res
idence of DR.. Piper Sgs gsGSciyed his attention.
Both horses were thrown down aug one of them
was considerably injured. The only damis9e me
carriage sustained was the breaking Of the pole.
The horses ran for more than mile and it is al
most . miracle that the accident did not result
more seriously,
