During the height of the fire on Monday morning, a woman was sitting near a fence, out of danger, surrounded by a few articles of furniture, and two fat pigs. She appeared perfectly unconcerned in regard to the progress of the fire, and was absorbed in scratching the backs of her pigs with a hoop-pole. They were evidently highly gratified with the affectionate attention of their mistress, for they paid no heed to the bustle around them. When asked what had become of her little children, she replied that she hadn’t seen them for an hour or two, but she had no doubt they would take care of themselves, while she felt it was her duty to watch over her part of the family which hadn’t equal intelligence. It is gratifying to know that the whole family-mother, children and porkers were united and comfortably quartered before night-fall.-Alb. Journal.
