FATAL Accteatev.--Yestinhormerning, the wife of a
man named Taylor. a labourer, living at Croatia., sod
the father of eight children, was entreated by one of her
home fine child, about five years of as e, to be allowed
a fire in an upper apartment for his brothers and sisters,
or they should be starved with cold. The mother occu-
pying the fire below, complied with his request. and
lighted one accordingly in a room upon the first door.
She had quitted the room bet a few minutes, and was
engaged dressing an infant in arms, when the hoyin
question, who lied set his clothes on fire in lighting
some straw, to imitate his father (as he told the otber
children), smoking his pipe, presented himself to her An
the stairs enveloped in flames. The terrified woman
rushed to his assislance, and in her alarm loosed het
hold of the infant, which fell to the ground with muds
violence, and was ',turned. She, however, picked it 4
again instantly, and clasping the borniog boy to het, ta
the endeavour to extinguish the flames, set herself and
also the infant on tire. The poor women. as die herse.f
relates, now deeming the destruction of herself and chi:-
siren inevitable, in a state of frenzy, exclaimed, " WI.
Lord, if it be thy pleasure, we three will burn togutbe:,"
and swooned away! Mod providentially at this crisis,
come of the neighbours entered the house, and found
the three helpless beings in the situation above deseriberl.
their clothes still burning. Having put out thetLames, and
recovered the mother, surgical aid was promptly obtain-
ed, and the nnfortnnate sufferers received every atten-
tion which skill and the best feelings could suggest.—
Happily, the mother sustained so injury of a serious
nature; her hands were much berm. but her lite is
"pared to her family ; and the infant, 'although much
burnt in the face, it is hoped, wilt do well. The only
fatal victim of this calamity is the innocent srtginator
be of it ; the mischief he sustained was be oad the reach of
human skill to avert. After 'angels • through the
