Melancholy Occurrcncc.-A vslu-
able female servant. about 10 years Of age. Tire

was 80 severely burnt on Sunday morning last.
BY her d,ess catching on ise, that she died early
on Monday morning. She was employed in bath
ing with campfire an sgrd servant suffering un-
der an attack Of rheumaIis.n. Her back being
towards the fire, her clothes caught. and the
flames had MAIDS considerable progress before she
discovered her danger. Wild with alright, she
fed from The kitchen to the house, by which
time she was perfectly envelop~d in flames. Mr..
M'Nair had been induced 10 return from church
before the completion Of the service, in conse-
quence Of the seeming indisposiiion Of his little
son, and did what he could to eriinguish the Gre.
but the servant was 80 severely burnt that the
physician at once pronounced her recovery hope
less. She fingered through the night, seemingly
insensibIe to pain, and died al abou, 2 o'clock
on Monday morning. ~.
Though il failed to save the life Of the servant,
il seemed a providen,ial interference tha, Undue.
ed Mr.. M'Nair to return home. In the room to
which the servant reircaied was bed with cur
.tains, and other light innammablc materials,
which she passed near, and would greatly have
endangered the house il none Of the white iami-
ly had been present. -
Melancholy Accident. We learn
that on Monday last, Mr.. Walter Proctor, son Of
Mr.. Thomas Proctor. young man about 10
years Of age, lost his life by falling through the
sleepcn into the pit Of Mrs. Sims's Saw Mill, in
the eastern part Of this county. He was sitting
on the log watching the saw and talking to The
negro who attended the mill. As the log APP
preached the saw he moved backwards 10 avoid
il, and before he was aware Of il reached the end
and cell of. lie was drcadfnIly bruised and
mangled by the fall, aud died in few moments
alter be wss taken up. The negro cnjcavoied
to catch him as he fell, but failed in the attempt
He then turned to the lever, as soon as possible,
and shut of the water, but u was to little purpose,
as the fall had killed him. The deceased is re-
presented as worthy young man. and was EN-.
ployed about the mill. He leaves kind father,
an afIcc,iona,c mother, and a biothcr and sister
10 mourn their uniimcly loss.
The Right Of Way through Orange County,
was in most cases generously given 10 the North
Carolina Rail Road Company by Tie persons
through whose land il is to run. Four or Eve
only, we learn, declined doing so. thinking the
sacrificc Too great for them to make. The Com
pany therefore have instituted proceedings in our
County Court to have the land in these cases
valued. according to the 9Th section Of the act
Of incorporation. and the following persons were
appointed Commissioners for the purpose, viz :
William Lipscomb. Hezekiah Terry, Stephen g..
Forrest, John W. Garrard, and John Mct;own.
