A servant^girl, who was standing by tae^stove, was stunned and shocked so^*c\ iTely she is not expected to recover.^Mrs Perkins and her babe, who were also^In the room, escaped without Injury. In^front of the house was tbe hired man with^a team of horses. The team ran away,^throwing the man from tbe wagon and^severely injuring him.
