Bwtween 8 aud 9 o'clock, one evening
last week, Robert C. UTuer, his wife and
daughter, 12 years ol agS, left Frackville
for Sheuamlouh, in -'an Ordinary farm
wagon drawn by tSro horses. After
driving- a short distance, Mr. tTflnef, qn
looking ahead a half mile or so, saw .that

be would be abtttoget tlnough without
uirtch difficulty. "When he entered the
burning district the wind seepied to
iusreuse, aud the fir® moved with such
a.nnzmg .rapidity hw ecwdd hwnlly
pace with it. Alter drhdng through
the fire, three or four hundred yards,
the smoke bcama so , dense that thj
wove almost suffooated, and a
few aeoond» later were oomfit-lled to
lie down in the bed of the wagon to pre
vent being smothered. The smoke so
blinded Mr. Utfrdr that he eould hardly
See the road, and consequently be allow
ed tbe houses to go. along pretty much
as theyjilewsed. A half utile waa tra
versed in this way, wh-n the smoke sud*
deuly cleared way,.' anil the flames on
either side of the road increased in
strength so rapidly that tliey almost
roabted the nOW thoroughly frightened
'travellers. Seeipg that jf they did not
escape very soou the entire party . would
be burned to death, Mr. Uffner tried to
urge the horses to gallop, but the poor
suiiuals were so Irighiencd they hardly
moved,' and at last came to a stand etill,
and b*t|sn backihg'oft* the road. Fear
ing that the wagon would "be pushed into
into the fire, Mr. Uffuer jumped Qii't,
and taking the bw*i* by tho bite, jnan%
aged to quii-t them until he found a good
stout stick, Then ordering his' wife to
take the reins, lie proceeded to belabbr
the horses urttil they struck a gallop and
dashed gtong the road iuio the very heart
of the fire. Uffuer succeeding in clam
bering iuto the wagon as the hoists ran,
and taking the Ihu-a from his wife uiged
them oust the top of his Voioe. This
race was continued over the rongh
mountain road for several hundred yards
with the flames roaring on both sides,
and myriads of sparks falling in au about
tjie wagon. Mrs. Uffqer's drees caught
fire,jand her husband dropped the reins
tp assist ber in i*tinguishi«ig it, wben
she fainted in his arms. Wh'le be wss
endeavoring to bring his wife bsck to
contciousneaa the horses were tearing
along at a breakneck speed, and the
Wggon swerved, jolted and strung around
in'spytbiug but a comfortable manner.
Ulfner became conscious in a few I
seconds, and just then her husband saw
ar (Blood of dense blade smoka enveloping
the road, and knew that they had reach*

A quarter of a mile more and their dan,-
geroiia iournpy had ended, and their
foaming boraes werr pulled up allowed,
a breathing spell. The travellers were
all slightly bruised, but fortunately es
caped without, receiving any serious i»«
juries Some idea.of tlie terrible heat
th*Y passed through may be had when,
itfs stated that the paint on the wagon
burned entirely off, and the horses
ludr was scorched in Fiundreds of places
by the clouds of sparks that tell on tbem.
On the same day the omnibua that car
