Mr. Haley and wife were absent from the home at the time, and the rest of the family of five children and Mrs. Brady, an old lady, mother of Mrs. Haley, came near perishing in the flames. The fire was discovered about 12 o'clock at night by Anthony Haley Jr., about 15 years old, and by having great presence of mind the rest of the family were saved. But little of the furniture was saved. There was a light insurance on the house, furniture, etc., in the Vermont Mutual. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Haley and family, as they are obliged to stay with their neighbors , being out of house and home, and neighbors have kindly offered their houses to them. A horse belonging to Anthony Haley broke its leg by running away on Saturday. Mr. Haley has had bad luck for the past two weeks. Herbert Haley, who was injured a few days since by his team running away, is recovering. It was feared at first that his eye was destroyed, but it now seems that his eye is not out, and will doubtless be alright again.
