from the fire at Emmettsburg: At
day fire was discovered in the
kitchen of tho building occupied by tbe
Sisters of Charity at St. Joseph*!
Academy, Emmettsburg, and iu a very
short time the entire building
flames. The greatest consternation
prevailed, but as tho building where
the children of the academy were kept
was some distance off and the wind set
the flames in an opposite direction, the
children and yonng ladies were remov
ed to a place sf safety. All the inhab
itants of Emmettsburg, including pu-
S ’ls and professors of Mount Saint
ary’s College, went to aid the Sisters
of Charity, but the means for extin
guishing the fire were so limited that
tittle could be done. The house in
