Death OF Mas. LoxGFELLow.-Wem mentioned
yesterday that Mrs. Longfellow died from her
burns. Professor Longfsllow will recover. ArG.
Longfellow was the daughter Of the Hon. Na.
than Appleton. 49,.
In siluding to this melancholy affair, the
Boston Traveller saysj
About five o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. L..
was standing at table in the library, making
wax seals for the amusement of her daughters.
She threw down lighted match, which struck
her light clothing, setting it on fire, and she
was almost Immediately enveloped in flames.
Mr.. Longfellow, who was near at hand,
rushed TO her assistance, and succeeded, with
much difficulty, ip consequence of the thin
texture of her clothing, IL extingpishing the
FIRE. She was burned upon nearly every part
of her person except her face, but she sue.
ceeded in keeping the FIRE from that, and it is
believed she did not inhsle any OF the flames.
Mr.. Longfellow's hands we're very badly burned,
but he received little injury besides that, and
is not considered to be in any danger.
Both were kept under the influence Of ether
all last night by the direction Of attending
physicians. Drs. Wyman, Of Cambridge, H. J..
Bigslow, Of Boston, and others.
The three daughters Of Mrs. Longfellow were
at home when the accident occurred her two
sons were at Nahant, and they we're ipme
diately sent for.
The Transcript says:
Mrs. Longftllow was one Of the most noble
and accomplished women in the country, of
great personal beauty, and Of dignifed pres.
ence. She leaves an interesting family of
children to mourn the loss Of mother whose
devotion to them was such as to secure their
afrectionate regard to a degree rarely attained.
This terrible accident has thrown deep gloom
over many circles in Cambridge and Boston,
as the deceased was q universal favorite with
all classes.
