SUDDEN DEATH OF You've GIRL-0oRoNER' s
INouEsT.-Coroner Carey, yesterday morning,
held an inquest upon the body Of q girl named
Anna Mary Bohr, eyed fourteen years, who
died quiet suddenly at the residence Of some
relatives, at No. 100 Richmond. street. 81
About four o'clock on the afternoon of Tues
day last she complained of severe pain in
the head, and laid down upon the bed, while
her cousin left the house for few moments
to inform her mother Of the fact. Before she
returned, however, the girl had died.
She was semi.orphan, having lost her
mother; in Germany, and as her father was
absent from the city, and no one living in
the house at the time OF the death, !. II was
thought best to hold an investigation Of the
circumstances connected with ,her sudden de-
mise. "t"ft
Upon holding q post.mortem examination, IL
was discovered that the girl had reached the
most critical period Of woman's life, and the
jury decided that death was superinduced by
congestion Of the brain, in consequence of the

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LITTLE GIRL.--A
child about five years Of age, daughter of q
Mrs. Charlotte Muusen, residing on Seventh
street, near Cutter, met with an accident day
before yesterday by which she has entirely
lost the sight of her right eye. She had a
pen.knife in her hand which belonged to hel
brother, who is few years her senior, and
they were chasing each other about the room
when she fell, the blade of the instrument en-.
tering the ball Of her right eye, destroying the
sight forever. Apart from the damage done
to the eye Of the girl, the wound Is considered
dangerous, as the knife passed through the
socket and into the head, and upon this
account it ID feared may yet prove fatal. j,
