IyesterdaY. that ON Tuesday sweet little girl.
about Tytars old, daughter of Capt George
Clouds, and residing at the time near the rail-
road line, while playing with some companions
near fire, was by some frightful chance burnt
to death. The sad accident has caused a deep
sympathy with the sorrowing parents, for the
child was equally lovely and loveable.
MOUNT HoI.LY.-It was ascertained in town
by the arrival Of some of our citizens, and by
the mail rider, that the prevailing disease has

city, bids fair in few days to resume
all her wonted air of hustle and gayety. 1t was

every step some old familiar, yet long absent
of hands and interchange Of queries as has not
been witnessed for many long day.
