At Rerrick, as in Russia, the _little hand_ was seen by Telfer himself, and the fire-raising was endless.

At Amherst too, as in a pair of recent Russian cases and others, there was plenty of fire-raising.

By a lucky chance an English case occurred at Wem, in Shropshire, in November, 1883.

It began at a farm called the Woods, some ten miles from Shrewsbury.

First a saucepan full of eggs "jumped" off the fire in the kitchen, and the tea-things, leaping from the table, were broken.
