A melancholy and fatal accident happened at
Ward of Crudes on Wednesday se'itnight. FLA-
IMIA, the infant daughter of Gcoaoc SMITH,
blacksmith there, aged 14 months, was unfortu-
nately killed by the accidental discharge of • gull.
heavily loaded, while in the act of amusing herself
with a young dog. The gon had been carelessly
left in another house; and the child, following the
dog, had just muted herself beside it, when a young
lad, handling the gun, discharged the contents,
which lacerated her knees and tags io a shocking
omnner, and blew the annual to pieces. The
charge was so enormous, that both legs hung by a
mere bit of flesh, and although medical aid was
shawl immediately procured, it was found impos-
sible to save the infant's life; she lingered for six
bours.—(Greenork Advertiser.)

A most daring burglary was on Monday ri;ght
last corn vitted iu the house of Mr.. FREDERICK, of
High-street, Devizes. The thieves first effected an
entrance at the back part of the house into the brew-
house, and thence to the wash-house, but not find-
ing any thing portable worth their taking, and being
unable to proceed to any other room, they again got
out, and went to the front of the house. Here they
took a pane front one of the windows, and got into
the parlour. Having. tinder-box with them, they very
deliberately lit two mould candles, commenced ran-
sacking the room, and carefully discriminating the
silver from the plated goods, they took every arti-
cle of the former, and proceeded to the ;malty.
They here regaled themselves with some bread and
cheese, and milk ; and soon after, hearing the
watchman called, they made off. Among the ar-
ticles stolen are five table-spoons, marked F.; five
dessert-r - eight gear-
