Fire and FrightfuI Death!
ByattIe6orougn, May IL,
IL o'clock, A. M.

One of the most destructive conf1agra-
tons, and certainly the most agonizing
one, it has ever been our painful task to
record, occurred in this town this mon
day. morning, about IL IA o'clock. The
elegant residence of Mrs. Freme, l mile
north of this village, on the old road to
Newfane, caught fire from some unex-
planned cause, and before aid could be
rendered, was blazing, crumbling shell.
The barns and outhouses were likewise
all consumed.
The inmates of the house were all fe-
males, consisting of Mrs. Freme, her two
sisters, and two domestics. One of the
latter was seriously bruised in jumping
from a window; all the rest escaped
without harm, except the lady of the
mansion, who dreadful to relate, persisted
in the flames There is every reason to
suppose she was suffocated by the heat
and smoke, so that her end was not as
pain u. as might at FIRST appear.
Mrs. F. was an opulcnt widow Lady,
of English origin. She was of most
amiable and engaging manners and known
far and near for her benevolence to the
poor and distressed. Her appalling death
will carry thrill of horror to tho bo-
SONS Of large circle Of relatives and ac-
quaintances, and still larger circle OF
those to whom she has been truly ga
friend in need" Her brother, Captain
Eben Wells, and his family, lived near by,
and into their hearts will the affection
sink deepest.
Mrs. Freme's mansion was handsome
ly finished and furnished, and contained,
among other valuables, several splendid
pictures. Three horses-including the
noble span whose grace and fleetness our
citizens have often observed and ad'
mired--were burnt in the stable. But in
view OF the shocking catastrophe connec'
ted with this confagration, the most fear
i lul loss OF property would shrink into
nothingness.

THE Pennsylvania Episcopal Coseea-
tion.-The Bishop, in his annual address,
mentioned that he had ordained ten can
didates for the priesthood, consecrated
four churches, laid the corner-stones oil
five, and organized one hundred and
twenty -four parishs. There are now one
hundred and forty-four clergymen in the
diocese. On Thursday morning a reso-
luton was offered by the Rev. DR.. Cole
man, expressive of "the satisfaction that
would be afforded to clerical and lay
members Of the convention and to the
church generally in the diocese of Penn,
sylvania, by the removal of the disabili,
ties imposed upon tie Right Reverend
Henry u. Onderdonk by the House OF
Bishops; inasmuch as thereby the decl;.
ming years of this eminent and devoted
servant of the church would be consoled,
and his many excellent productions justly
estimated by posterity; while such an
ecclesiastical act would be in accordance
with that heavenly charity taught by the
great Apostle of the Gentiles." The res
olution passed almost without dissent.

We venture to say that a similar thing
was never done before. Among other
incidents on board, it appears that on the

GEN. WORTH In our last, we an
nounced the death of this gallant officer.
He died of cholera at San Antonio de
Bexar, Texas. Perhaps no officer of the
army was more universally esteemed, or
could be more sincerely lamented. Brave,
chivalric and humane--with fine mar
tial figure, and dignifed and easy po-
liteness-he was alike favorite in the
camp and in the social circle.
Worth was born at Hudson, N. Y, in
1894, received plain education, and
began life rs traders clerk at Hudson
and Troy. When the war Of 1912 broke
out, he entered the army as private, and
soon became the private secretary of
Winfield Scott, then colonel of the regi-
ment. Scott soon pro- ured for him
lieutenant's commission; and before the
war closed, he had risen to the brevet
rank of Major. After the peace, Worth
was for some time superintendent Of the
West Point Academy. In 1881 he sue
ceeded Armistead in the chief command
of the Florida campaign. Here he rose
to the brevet rank of brigadier general.
His career in the late war with Mexico
is fresh in the minds of our readers. For
his galantry at Monterey, he was bre-
vetted a major general.
