dentally received two weeks ago. She went to
take pan of boiling mill from the stove, and,
having rag handy, wrapped her hand in the
skirt Of her dress to lit the pan, when her dress
caught fire. The poor little thing fingered two long
weeks before dying the best medical aid not sue
ceeding in saving her life. Little Adde was known
to many who knew her name; for she was the
almost constant companion of her father in
his capacity of dOorkeepcr at the different the

she assisted her father I.!CL by writing the
directions the wrappers for the daily mails Of

Adde! Her full name was Mary Eliza Adelaide
Gunnegle, and she aged iH5t Ii years and IL

sons for laborers etc, on nearly completed rail

ing for the same with notes at ninety days.
He purchased a schooner here, and loaded it
with supplies of different kinds. and by like bar
gains here had lumber, brick, ETC., shipped direct
from Pensacola and other places to Cuba, as is

and all these things sent of before the block

have prevented Mr.. Cu from. returning and pa Ing

| have thoroughly investigated tie matter, and come
to the conclusion, upou good and satisfactory eIi
dence that the said Cue is as adroit and splendid 6
