lars Of the death of Charlotte Prudden, an inter-
estng little girl OF * by her clothes taking fire at
Orange, Ct. on Saturday, the 10Th inst. She had
been up during the night previous watching with
sick sister, when sitting by FIRE which she had
sindled for cooking, she fell asleep and awoke not
till her clothes were in a flame. No one was IN
the house but the two sisters and before their cries
brought any their assistance the sufferer was
50 badly burnt that she died the next dav. TWAS
an affecting and distressing scene, the sick sister
suffering almost an equal agony with the other
from her INABILITY to afford the necessary aid hav
ing tainted and fallen IN the street in her cndeav
ors TO call for help. This has been very afflicted
family, Deacon Prudden having died about three
years since, daughter aged II about three weeks
after, an aged grandmother the last summer
surviving daughter long afflicted with severe dis
ease, and this calamity, leaving widowed mother
to mourn these distressing dispcnsations of Prov.
