by members Of the family. When first seen
the fire was raging in the kitchen, and such
Roadway had it made, that all hopes of say

endeavored to save whatever they could of
the household effects. Very little, however,
was gotten out, q few bed clothes and some
little articles being all that was rescued
While the fire was raging the Heighbors
gathered around, and by throwing great
balls of snow-the water being frozen up
succeeded in saving small H."
Mr. Wilson and his family were almost
frozen, they having been forced out into the
deep snow and bitter cold, with only the scan
