FOR BURGLARY. Two Soldiers Committed for Trial at Pembroke Dock. Early on Tuesday morning the premises of Mr. T. Davies, draper, Cambria House, Bush- street, Pembroke Dock, were broken open. It appears the servant girl heard a noise in the passage leading to the shop, and at once awoke her master, who on proceeding to the top of the landing heard a rush from the inside shop door to the back. Mr. Davies at once dressed, and 00 going'downstairs found that one of the plate-glass panels of the shop door had been taken out by means of removing the moulding by which it was fastened.

Morse, who accompanied him to the house and made foR i z) r,. li the meantime,. Palicc-sar- geant Powell was sent for, and on his arrival a more detailed search was made, when a cap belonging to a soldier of the 41st Welsh Regi- ment was found in the garden.

A CHALLENGE. Writing to the editor of the" Sportsman," Lord Marcus Beresford say- :-As, unfortu- nately, La. Flecne cannot run in theCesarewitch, I challenge Captain M'Calmont to bring out Isinglass in the Champion Stages to decide how much superior his horse is to La Fleche and Matchbox. We feel rather like David when he challenged Goliath, with this difference, that whereas David went out to fight with a stone in band, we are in exactly the opposite position. I am sure Captain M'Calmont is much too good a sportsman to treat us in the same way ae Cor- bett has just treated Fitzsimmons.

Caught by a Forest Fire GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF AN AWFUL NIGHT. An American Writer Tells of the Ex- perience of an Emigrant Party in Califernia. In these days of forest and prairie fires, involving heavy losses of life and property, an experience of my own (says an American, writer) may be of some interest. In 1848 a company of emigrants, numbering nearly one hundred, left Independence, Mo., for the Sono- ma Valey, California, At the end of the fifth day's journey we encamped in a grove of 200 or 300 acres, in the midst of a plain appa- rently limitless in extent. The month was August or September. The, season had been dry, a.nd the earth was cracked and parched The wagons were arranged in the form of i hollow square as a. protection against nigh' prowlers Supper was prepared fuicl eaten, antts looked after, sentries stationed, and all wto were off duty gathered around the cap- tain's tent to talk over the events of the day and plan for the future. We had engaged a. scout as guide and hunter during the journey. i His name was James Fletcher. He was 6ft. in height, spare and sinewy as an Indian, a. brave man and a dead shot. About eleven o'clock we all, except the seitries and the scout, turned in for a few hours' sleep, for we were to be up and ready to march by daybreak. When we closed our eyes and sleep fell upon us there were uo indi- cations of anything unusual. The silence was profound, except when broken by the move, ments of the horses or the occasional howling of prairie wolves. Fletcher, our scout, sleepless and restless, after the man- I ner of his trit,cv remained up, taking frequent strolls around the stockade of wagons, and making observations of the environments of the camp. Without know- ing why. he had a presentiment of coming evil. There was a glow on the horizon that he did not like. Wolves appeared in in- creasing numbers, moving in an easterly direction. Flocks of plowr and other birds of the plains flew past with unwonted cries. To Fletcher's trained mind and eye the occur- rence foreboded evil. He thought of fire, Imt apprehended no danger from that source- He knew there was a river eight or ten miles away, to the west, and he believed it would be an effectual barrier to a conflagration coming from that direction. He knew there was no fire on our side of the stream. Puzzled by the movement of animals and bird?, and keen. as always, for adventures, he saddled his horse and galloped off into the night to investigate. He rode rapidly for an hour, which brought him to the river. It traversed a valley several miles in width, which sloped toward the west- The bank .on our side was fifteen or twenty feet higher than on the opposite side. Rising like a wall, it shut out the view from the westerly side of the, stream. Dismounting and standing on a little knoll, or Indian grftve, he looked upon a. reutMfe* able scene. For miles beyond the river 11n plain was a mass of flame, gathering fotCt and volume as it swept forward, and consum- ing everything in its course. This was the' cause of t.he glowing tint we and he had' 4 observed on the horizon. He wa,s not alarmed, for he still thought the river would- ohieck the progress of the names. 'rj For half an hour he stood motioulesn t watching the magnificent .spectacle. Rapidly' '> the fire eat its way toward the river. At al narrow place a tuft of burning grass was caught up by the whirlwind of flame and 1 wafted over the stream. He knew in an in." | -ie stant what this meant, The camp was in ? danger and we would have to fight for our; lives. Putting spurs to his horse he began .¿ ride for the oamp. Rushing through the"* .stockade of wagons without drawing rein.; J Fletcher discharged his pistol and shouted1: 0 —"The prairie is on fire! The flames have* v crossed the river? The oamp is in danger! « Every member cf the party was up in an instant. There was no panic. Even the: women were oool and collected. We always on the look-out for danger, and' were in a manner prepared for it. A hurried! council was held to devise measures for our j safety. None of us knew how to fight a j prairie fire, and instinctively we turned to i ,t|| Fletcher for advice. Like a, general, withf the glow of excitement upon his face, he; |j issued his orders rapidly and demanded'. | prompt obedience. Knowing that the trees ;J would increase the danger, he conducted us; j out of the grove into the open plain. The wagons were arranged: as before. Beddings and clothing were drenched with water v, from a spring near by and thrown over, 4 the wagons for protection. Grass was mown for some distance around. The animals were 'g turned loose to shift for themselves, but they .1 hovered around the camp, as if conscious of ;jjj the impending danger. These preparations had hardly been com- :^j pleted when the lire burst upon us. It came a sweeping over the plain in great, billows- It J Struck us fair and square. All at onoe we were -3 sweeping over the plain in great, billows- It Struck us fair and square. All at onoe we were -3 ervironed by flame. We had done all we could Jg and silently awaited the result. The heat; j was intense and the smoke stifling. We saw J that the wet bedding and t.he clothing on the', 9 wagons was holding back the fire in that diree-. tion. Five minutes of intense anxiety ensued. 1 Then the sea of flame partd, and swept forward on either side with a roar like that of a tornado. We ithdn looked after results. Two small children had been smothered by the smoke and heat. Three .men, who had sought safety. by climbing trees, contrary to orders, were: M fovnd burned to a- crisp. The flames had en- veloped every tree in the grove from root tb; topmost branch. All of our betiding had been consumed, a.nd the wagons were badly 4; scorched. Fletcher kept watch over the am- a ma.ls. and wher the flame parted he drove them into thee. nclosure from the rear. Three hordes and several cows, straying off, perished. Next v? morning w e dug a grave near the foot ef a. J large walnut tree, in which we deposited our dead. 'mended our wagons the best, we could. and with no bidding and little clothing re- M. sunied our journey with iieai-y hearts. The j[ five bodies were afterwards exhumed :md taken j to Sonoma for interment. The awfulness of prairie and forest fires cannot be realised by those who have, never witnp<r1 the,
