pieces, producing an explosion the re
_ port of which was heard for miles !
Mr. Case and Mr. Palmer (landing
near the door, firft took the alarm and
had the good fdrtune to make their es
cape, though not without receiving ye
ry considerable personal injury by fire—
while the poor lad, unable to extricate
himfelf, was wrapt in a volume,f flame
and agitated spirit, though with difficul
ty, he faltered out of the diflillery, went
a few steps, and then fell, exhibiting
J every vestige of a blazing viftim—eve
ry possible assistance was afforded him,
both to disentangle him of his clothes
and to repel ^d drive out the corrosive
element from the vital part, but alas
in vain, it was too late, the fire had
made too great inroads upon his intern
al part, his flefh was so burnt that a
cruftation was formed almoil over the
whole of his body—.ln this awful and
" distressing condition he languished a
bout 12 hours, and then looking a last
and affectionate farewel to his friends,
expired !
" Thus fell a promising youth in the
flower of age and the beginning ofhis
days, a facrifice to imprudence. Cau
tion surely is the parent of security, and
flrange it is we do not attend more to
her dilates." [Hartford Paper.]
