A FEMALE SERVANT BURNED TO DEATH.--Yes-
terday morning Mr. Payne, the coroner, received informa-
tion of the death of Harriet' Yates, aged sixteen years, who
resided in Alpha-street, Bermondsey. It appears that the
deceased, a fine young woman, was in the service of Mrs.
Ryan, of Albany-street, Old Kent-road, and was standing
with her back to the fire, assisting her mistress, when the
wind from the door wafted her dress against the bars of the.
grate. She was soon enveloped in flames. Her screams
brought assistance, but she was so much injured that she
died shortly after her admission into the hospital. This is
the twelfth person burned to death within a week.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has
just published a new illustrated pamphlet on watches (free
by post for two stamps). It should be lead by all who are
about buying a watch, as it contains prices and important
information as to—What watch to buy I where to buy it
and how to use it I

Diseases of the Chest.-The daily increase of deaths from
these causes is positively appalling. During the last three
weeks, respectively; 58, 90, and 102 persons died of bronchitis
alone, and no less than 73 per week have perished from In-
flammation of the Lungs. Let no one afflicted in the chest

hesitate fOr a moment to use Holloway's potent remedies ;
properlynsed they will mitigate each symptom and avert

those disastrous consequences so grievously noted by the Re-
gistrar-General. Rub the Ointment thoroughly over the
chest at le.ash three times a day, and take the Pills exactly
according to the printed instructions affixed to each box and
pot. Immediate relief and permanent cure will result.
