stock and to look after other
things belonging to the farm.
On last Sunday III corning he pro-
ceededk to look after some affairs
of his own which detained him
longer than he intended before be
could start ON his return, which
delay nearly caused the destruc-
ion OF his home; for when he
came in sight of the house he saw
great volumes of smoke proceeds
ing from the cellar, which caused
him to quicken his steps until
reaching the house, where, upon
throwing open the door, he saw
where a flame Of fire had burned a
hole through the floor, and the
stove had fallen into the cellar.
lie turned to the kitchen where he
found bucket of water, the con
tents of which be dashed on the
fire. He was in the act of turn
ing to go to the well for another
bucket full of weter, when he
thought Of packet of five or six
pounds of blasting powder, which
had been left in the cellar by
some miners, who had been pros
pecting for coal. Fearing an ex.
plosion, he ran in, and was just in
time to prevent the explosion, as
the string by which the packet
had been tied, was already ignit-
ed. Seeing there was no time to
be lost, the brave fellow seized the
packet and dropped it into bar
rel which contained a small guam
tity of vinegar. He then turned
his attention to the fire, which,
after thirty minutes hustling, he
had under control, and in ten
minutes more he had the fire en-
tirely eXtinguished. With the
exception of burning n few yards
of carpet and leaving an ugly hole
in the floor, the fire did no mater
ial damage.
He had scarcely finished his la
bors, when his mother appeared
upon the scene. She seemed 10 he
very much disI leased with what
she considered her sons careless
ness in leaving the fire so that it
could fall on the floor; bat when
he explained that there had been
no fire in the stove in that room
since she had left, and how he
had endangered his life by remov-
ing the powder, he reminded her
that she had left a bundle OF
herbs, which she had procured
from the garden before she went
away, lying on chair in front of
the stove to dry. The herbs in all
probability, never cured out; SO
large bundle having remained
in its green state so long, might
have heated, an d spontaneous
combustion was PROBABLY the re-
suit, which very likely caused the
fire.
Concluding that the boys ex-
cuse was very logical, the mother
ordered him to take a drink of
catnlp tea and lie down.
