ALMOST A CREMATION.

About 2 o'clock last Sunday morn
ing a thick volume of smoke was dis
covered issuing from the parish Jail
in this place. The alarm Of fire was
raised, which soon caused a crowd to
collect, when the lower floor of the
jail was found to be on fire, which
proved to be the work of the four
prisoners confined in the lower cell
or 4 portion of them ut least-and
their suffocation and perhaps crema-
ton would have been the result but
for the timely discovery Of the fire;
for the floor is 50 thick that the whole
building would have been in flames
and the inmates wouldha died from
suffocation and heat before tho fire
burned u hole through it. BY the
efforts of those assembled the fire was
soon extinguished and the prisoners,
who had been temporarily removed
from the burning building. we'e re-
turned to their quarters.
Now these wOuld-be Jail burners
we presume, will have to answer to
the charge Of arson in addition to the
other crimes with which they are
charged. Richland Beacon:

thing and took it in the house, where
his wife kindly cared for it. 1t was a
white girl baby, and thoroughly chill
ed from lying in the cold night air.
Those who have seen it pronounce it
a beautiful babe, and express wonder
that it survived the exposure to which
it was subjected by its unnatural
mother. 1t was the intention of Mr..
Watkins to keep and raise the child,
having no children of his own, but
being a colored man, and the child
white, he concluded that its future
welfare demanded that it should be
raised by white people. For this
purpose his wife took it to the city
last Wednesday, in order to place it
in some Asylum where it would be
properly cared for. The fact as to-
who is the heartless and cruel mother
of this child of misfortune, still re-
mains a mystery.-St. Tamnsany Far
