(Feb 1854), PERSONAL. VASSE. We regret to hear that on the 22nd ultimo, the house and premises of Mr J. V. Bussell, at the Vasse, were destroyed by fire. It appears that Mr and Mrs Bussell were at Church, and the servant was lighting a fire in the oven with some brush-wood, when the wind caught the flame as it came out of the oven door, and carried it to the thatch of the roof of the detached kitchen, which caught immediately and communicated the flames to the dwelling house and other houses which were all consumed. The man servant instead of attempting to prevent the flames catching the dwelling which he might readily have done, and saved some hundreds of pounds worth of property, jumped upon a horse and gallopped off to the Church, leaving a servant girl and one or two natives to do what they could, which of course was nothing.
