A most painful spectacle was presented
at the Cherry street Station House yester-
day evening. A large woman was lying
upon the floor in the cold embrace ofdeath;
her clothes had been burned off, and her
body bore the horrid marks Of the fire.
Her limbs were drawn up as from agony,
and the painful expression Of her face told
Of the suffering which she had experienced.
By her side, on scorched mattress, three
boys were lying, terribly burned. In re.
moving them they had been rolled together,
and in attempting to separate them the
charred flesh fell from their bodies.
