OF Mr.. George Bozarth, between four and five
years of age, residing on Fourth street. below
Miokle was accidentally burned to death. Mrs.
Bozarth has been confined to her bed for some
three weeks, and while the nurse made short
visit to the sick-room the child was left in the
basement, in company with boy about her
own age. BY some means her clio hing became
ignited, and when discovered she was completely
enveloped in flames. gentleman of the house
hold speedily smothered the fire, but not until
nearly all her clothing was consumed. DR..

applied such remedies as the case demanded;
but in vain. Its body was literally baked, and
the skin peeled Off IN many places. The little
sufferer presented horrible spectacle: but death
kindly relieved her about o'clock this morning.
1t has not been long since this same family was
driven from home by the fire which occurred at
Parsons stables, which reached the dwelling in
which Mr.. Bozarth resided. He then lost quite

prove fatal.
A GALA DAY AT TRENTON.-The inau-

the night and up to noon yesterday, trains and
vehicles were arriving crowded with passengers.
The ceremonies were Of the most imposing
character, and the entire programme arranged

manner. The military display was highly
creditable TO the citizen soldiery of New Jersey,
among whom we're seen many veterans who
got their first schooling on the sanguinary battle
helds OF the Sourh.

caused by being crushed between two cars. He
was member of the State Rifle Corps, and had
participated in the military parade. 1t was while
taking the cars at the Trenton depot, in the
evening, that the accident occurred. This sad
accident cast gloom over the immense throng
ofvisitors, as he was gentleman highly esteemed
for his many excellent qualities.

of people, parents OF the pupils and others.

ssting of augers, chisels, screw-drivers, braces,
and bits were found secreted behind some rub
