Alexander cid pot escape. Mr. Alexander and the little one were badly burned about the head and face and hands, It was thought at first thet Mre, Alexans der bad escaped and made her way to one of the neigtboring houses. The most d:ligent search was made for ber, but vo trace could be obtained until about day- ligbt, when her charred remains were found among the debris of the hurned home. Mr. Alexander, in speaking ef the dre, asys they were awakewed dy the cock’s wife aud ran from their upstairs bedroom to the sitting room on the vame floor, just across the halt, for their little son George. They thought there would be time to get on some clothing, but in a momentthe paper ceiling(they have no plastered houses ip Japan) in the nursery, just beyond, was all aflame. Mr. Alexanuer then took George out of the hall window to the roof of the porch, and when he returned for Mrs Alexander the sitting room was in flames, and no voice answered bis cal). H2 tried to see if she had fainted or fullen to the floor, but the flames drove him back, and he fell from the upper window of the sitting room to the ground, aod then climbed up pillar of the porch for George. The place the where the body was found indicates that Mrs, Alexander must have,left the sitting room to follow the cook, ran through the flames of the nureery, and tried to eecape vown the back stairs, whence sbe was cut ! off’ by the flames below.

Miss Katie Trainor, cousin of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. William Gorman assisied the greom.

After the marriage ceremony the wed ding party drove to Mr. Patrick Trainor’s, Keliy’s Cross, where asumptuous wedding breakfast was provided.

Although the weather was very un-~ favoravle a number of the friends ef the contracting parties assemb'ed at the home of the bride’s parents, where & most en- joyable time was apent by all.

Rete SHvetise at 4 Batoon. With regard to the effects of gurehots upon a baloon the following experiments were made. A shot was fired from a Lebel rifl- at a baloen at an altitude of 500 feet. It only penetrated the fabric below the equator, and no appreciable results en~ sued, After this, many shote were iired, several penetrating the baloon and passing out nearthe upper valve. Afters lapse of six hours the baloon descended to the ground, by reaver of the loss of gas through the ballet holes But it appeared that, whatever the number of shots, the loss of gas was never asnfficient to canse the valoon to fall rapidly.—Pall Mall Magez- ine.
