that gentleman lost his life. 1t is sup
posed the flames communicated to the bed

completely clarred, and everything indi-
Gated that the fire had been burning a
long time, and it is more than probable
that the priest was dead before the fire
was discovered. The body, when taken
from the room, was a horrible sight,
blackened and burned and crisped till the
flesh fell from the limbs, and one Of his
arms burned off to the elbow.
