A most melancholy and heartrcnding nc-
tice of death by fire, is thus recorded in the
Albany Daily Advertiser Of Tuesday
We have to record an appalling instance Of
the death, by fire, of a daughter. aged about
IL, Of Thomas Lee, merchant tailor Of this
city. About seven O'Clock, on Sunday eve
ning, as she was sitting in rocking chair, in
.he second story Of her fathers house, in Dan
over the fender into the fire, and the flames
caught her clothes She instantly ran up stairs
into tho third story, where was a girl about her
own age, who was too much alarmed TO rem
der assistance. The sufferer. wrhing in ag-
ony, convulsed, and uttering the most piercing
shrieks, made her way down stairs, and out OF
tho front door into the street. At this time,
sho was completely onveloped in flames, which
illumined the whole street, and her pteous
cries aroused the whole noighborhood. A
gentleman who was passing at the time, caught
her in his arms, and 10 his own injury, pressed
her to his breast, and partially succeeded in
staying the flames, but not having an overcoat
could not subdre them As the soonest mea ms
of gaining relief, he ran towards pump near
by, but stumbled and fell. Another gentle
man caught her up, and took her to the pump
and person happening to be there with a
pail, the flames were qucnched. The agon.
ned being was taken back to the house, and
her body presented a most dreadful appear
ance. Her cloths were almost entirely burnt
of, and the skin was also all of, except that
on her face. Medical aid was rendered, but
at one o'clock, that night, the spirit OF The un-
happy victim left its wrctched and tortured
abode, and winged its way to heaven.
The mother of the girl, was at the time, on
a visit TO sick neighbor's, and the father was
absent from town.
MosEs SwARTs & CO.-The Colonial Ad-
vocaie, Of York, (U. C.) gives some further
particulars touching tho arrival Of Moses Swarts
and two Hebrew companions named Barnet
and Isaacs, at that place. An are in custody.
Swarts accuses Barnet and Isaacs of stealing
his horse, and they accuse him. Swarts AYERS
that he was in pursuit Of them, and they say
they were chasing him. Swaris has certificates
setting forth that SAID Moses came from Jeru-
saieDa, in Judea, to Baltimore, in America, and
there was defrauded of much valuable proper
ty by his brother lsraelitos, by which he came
to great poverty. Governors Shultz and Hes-
ter of Pennsylvania, are among'tho attestotors, ,
and tho documents 81 far are perfectly genu-
inc. The companions Of Swarts have n paper
in which he is represented as a magician and
necroma ncer, Of high grade. The Editor says,
he is altogether puzzle for the curious, and
adds: "Constantine, who acted as interpreter
at the police Office, believes him to be a Polish
Jew, as they probably all are; and, if bansh-
ed, we trust thoy will be sent, not TO New-York
but rather TO Judge Noahs dominions on Grand
Island, for a term of seven years, to wage war
with the smugglers and squatters who now
usurp dominion in and over that chosen land"
