throughout the community. While Mrs.
Daniels was reading, ,he sleeve of her dress
tJoh fire and the fame was communicated
TO other portions Of her garments. Altho'
her cries alarmed the household, before re-
lief could be extended the fatal work had
nearly been done. After few hours Of ex-
crucistiug pain comparative case ensued,
and she fingered in this state until 6
O'Clock this morning, when dissolution oc-
CURED Parts of the body were much
char,ed and the whole contour sadly dis
figured. She was the wife Of Judge Dan.
iels of the Supreme Court, and daughter
Of DR.. Harris Of Philadelphia, long at the
head Of the medical bureau here. Her
Consciousness was preserved almost TO the
last moment, aud she observed to her At
tendants, that Just before the accident she
had been rejecting upon the degree of hap
piness with which she had been blessed.
Her marriage attracted much remark in
society few years ago from the disparity
Of ages, bu. it was singularly fortunate in
mutual devotion and satisfaction. A child,
few months old, is one Of the victims Of
this deplorsble visitation.
