Fearful tragedy in Roxbur. --Four Persons Burnt to Death.--The recent tenement house tragedy in New York has found a parallel at Roxbury, Mass., where a fire broken out, in the midst of a snow storm, at 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and communicated to a house occupied by fifteen poor families. The Boston Journal says: In one of the rooms on the second story was the family of John Smith, consisting of himself, wife, a daughter and several sons.

The stairways leading to the rooms were not destroyed, but the large number of persons in the house — probably more than fifty at the time of the disaster — rendered it nearly impossible for all to escape the fearful doom which awaited those less fortunate ones whom age or disease had crippled. The bodies were taken to the alms-house, where they were visited by large numbers of their fellow-natives of the Eme
