DBIVEITAWAY. Barrie, June 6th. Mr. Woneh is an indnstrions who has lived on the Mill rmd some tune, his wife a Jdnd hesned Irish woman, daughter of J. Lqipard, near Markdale. Gwy Co., and font eluldren comprised the family. Mr. Woneh, the husband, had been away working all day, when he re- turned home, at tea his wife told him that a coat of his that hung up in the room showed signs of fire in tibe lining and wadding and that die had taken, it outside and put the fire out. How the fire came in the coat is a mystery. Mr. Woneh took down the coat and examined it thoroughly, but could dit cover no signs of fire. Putting it on he went out and fed the pigs and com- pleted the other chores for tbe night. On his return tu tbe house he again examined the coat, and being satisfied that it was all right, hung it up on a nail. l£e spent the evening in the bouse writing about 10 o'clock the children were put to bed by tbe moth- er. Tbe baby, six weeks old, slept with father and mother. Being tired Mr. Wouch soon fell asleep. The next thing he remembers was waking to find the whole room and the bed he was lying on one mass of flames, burning like fury. He jumped up, cried out to bis wife and tried to eatch hold of her to pull her o£f the bed, but she seemed to be unconscious. The flames bursting out of the bed, com* pletely enveloped her. Within his grasp he then grabbed the bed tick and pulled when it parted, the straw burning furiously. The floor gave away and it was a rush for life. Not being able to reach th^ door he jumped through the window, bis face and hands terribly burned, one ear hang- ing singed, his whiskers burned off. He then ran across the street yelling and waking soma neighbors who hur- ried out, but all too late the fire burned furiously, nothing could save those left behind. The husband offered them everything, but powerless to saye the mother and children.

Between two and three last Friday morning, Mrs.- Macdonald, wife of the turnkey, was aroused by hearing steps on the roof^ Getting up she looked out of, the window and saw a man on the top of the building, about to deoend into the intorior courtyard communicating: with tbe gaoler's office and tbe resid- ence of gaoler and turnkey. Thinking., they were prisoners escaping, (for the^ stops indicated more than one,) she gave the alarm, whereupon they went back over the luof, and made their escape by the gate leading from the roof of the turnkey's house. Mr. liller at once looked to the prisoners .a the cells, but found them all safely locked up. On examining outside Ihe means by which enterance could be obtained loon became apparent. The wall had been scaled by means of a- plank, and access once gained to the turnkey's yard the rest was easy. The bold adventurers are supposed to bo^ some who were familiar with the turnkey's house and thought they could make a hall there, even if they had to break into the gaol enclosure to do it. But they didn't find (he in' mates napping. â€" O. S. Tt/iiM.

The remams of the five were picked up and placed m one coffin. Tde sad affair has cast a gloom over the town, and Mr. Woneh has the deepest sympathy in his gieat troubles. Several rumors are afloat as- to the origin of the fire, such as smouldering in the coat but this can never be ac- counted for.' Several townsmen saw the fire, but as it was a mile out they thought it was a log or stump burning and paid no particular attention to it. EASIL"i CAUGHT.
