the house, he feund that Lady upon the stairs,
with her dress in a blaze of fire. All assistance was
vain—she was burned to death. She had enter-
tained a party on the preceding night, and it is sup-
posed that, after they went away, she fell asleep
with her head on the table, and that the candle
caught her head dress. Mrs. OKLA. was an amiable
