 s Death.


 MONTREAL, MSfch 11.-A heartrending fatality occurred at Cote St. Michael, a fourishing little country parish, about five miles from this city, by which a whole family, consisting of a mother and seven young children, were literally roasted to death
 After starting the fires about o'clock in the morning Quesime Collerette proceeded to the outhouses to look after the cattle. He had not long been en- gagged in this work when he was startled by cry of fire, and rushing out found the whole house in flames. Regardless of danger, he rushed into the burning structure and made a desperate effort to rescue his wife and seven children.
 His efforts, however, were vain, as the fire had secured too great head way, and Collerette himself was rescued from the flames more dead than alive. Within a short space of time the house was reduced to ashes, and all that re- mained of the inmates were a few charred bones. Collerette was fearfully burned, and was removed to a neigh bor's house, where he now lies in @ very precarious condition.
