DEATH ON THE SraGE.-The Toronto Globe
states that during the performance at the theatre
in that city on the night of the 9th The audience
were alarmed by shrleks behind the scenes and
by the manager rushing to the foot lights calling
for medical aid A doctor in the audience rromn
fly answered the call, and it was subsequently
ascertained that the clothes of Miss Resale 4.
Cook. an interesting child of twelve years of are
had caught fire. 1t seems that the unfortunate
girl dressed in the light gauzy apparel suitable
for the piece in which she was about ia take
part whilst standing in one of the side stage en-
frances. unconsiousy allowed her dress to take
hire at stove which was in the passage, and, in
spite OF the efforts Of three If the actors who were
close at hand. she sustained such injuries that
death was the result in few hours.
