house, leaving her two chi dren-girls, aged
respectively four and eight years in it. Az
soon as the little ones discovered that their mo-
ther was not about, they commenced, it is
thought, playing with some lighted papers, and
soon set the house on ERE. Before asy aesist-
ance could be procured, the children we're both
bu, ned so badly that il is considered impossible
for them to recover. The building Was entirely
consu,Ied. We are told that the mother has
often bsen very much ire.,ed on account Of the
disposition on The part Of the children 70 seizs
every occasion OF her absence to scamper and
