The Austin Texas Gazetie narrates the
following melancholy incident OF the death
of two children who Ind become lost IN the

sister-four years old, named Dunbar, resid-
ing in limestone county. The Gdzeite says:
The day was mild and pleasant, and they
had been playing between the house and
spring not lar distant, where their mother
was engaged in some household duty. How
the little innocenis were tempted into the
forests depths Is not known, but darkness
came on. and the Children we're missed and

the alarm was given, aud numbers joined IN
the vain effort 10 find some trace Of the lost
ones. This was continued until the evening

Freaks Of Two Madwomen.

Abouttthree o'clock on Saturday af-
ternoon an alarm Of fire vas caused by
the burning of a bed in a two story
brick house, On Clay. street, the upper
story of which was occupied BY two
German women, named Caroline and
Ann G. Liebert. When the fire was dis
covered, the neighbors attempted to en-
ter that portion Of the house occupied
by them, but found the doors fastened.
Upon forcing open the doors and enter
ing, two Of the women were found in
one Of the rooms, standing in a perfect
ly nude state upon the bed, which
was in flames. They were dragged from
the bed, not, however, till one of them
was badly burned upon the leg, and the
FIRE eItinguished. An investigation of
their singular conduct ELECTED the fact
that they were deranged.
Nothing unusual was noticed in their
manner until a few days ago, when they
became impressed with the idea that
some one WAS trying to poison them,
and sent a quantity o fmilk they had
purchased to a physician for analysis.
The assurance rof,the physician that
there was no poison in the milk failed
to quiet their apprehensions, and so
firmly were they convinced of a conspi-
racy that they refused 70 eat or drink
anything, and it is reported that they
burned up several hundred dollars, be-
cause they said it was poison. On Sat-
urday afternoon they piled the furniture
against the doors, Invested themselves
Of every article of clothing, got upon
the bed, and set fire to it, and remained
in this position until discovered by the
neighbors. The women were arrested.
