BURNED TO DEATH.--The Paulding (Miss.) Clarion
of Wednesday last relates the following cases Dc
fatal accidents from fire
A correspondent writes us the particulars Of the
burning to death Of Miss Emily "A. Warren, aged
nearly fifteen years, daughter of Mr.. W. ". War
rem, living about nine miles east OF Hillsbore,
Scott county. She was attending to something in
an clubhouse where there was fire, when her
dress accidentally caught, upon discovering which
she ran towards the dwelling screaming. Her
mother and brother fastened to her rescue, but
before they could get hold of her. her clothes were
in a blaze from head to foot, and they burned of
of her before they could be extinguished She
fingered in great agony two days and died.
We understand that during Christmas week
negro cabin on the plantation Of Rev. S. Terral,
nine or ten miles south of this place, was burned
down, and two little negroes, the property of his
son, James S. Terral Jr., of Quitman, consumed in
the flames. The grown negroes had gone to a
dance, leaving the fire burning and the three little
ones sleeping in the cabin One of them aWoke in
time to escape, and the other two, as we have
stated, persisted.
similar accident occurred on the plantation Of Mr..
Jos. Cook, five miles west of town. cabin was
burned, and negro child burned to death in it.
Such things as these ought to admonish the mana
gers OF plantations to proper vigilance respecting
the manner in which negroes, who are SO proven
biaily careless, are allowed to deal with fire.

Last night, New Years Eve at midnight, =. q.

he called his new years gun. He had burned some

the train falling TO ignite properly, he approached
the spot at the moment of its explosion, and was
