NV Dear Sir-Rearing that much is being

on account of the accident that happened at
my house on tho night OF the first instant, deem
it proper in me and due to you TO give the par
ticulars Of tho occurrence. The lamp IN ques-
ton was full Of oil, holding about pint; some
OF the oil was wasted on the outside OF the lamp,
TO which the servant girl applied match, which
ignited the whole There was no explosion
and the lamp might have remained on the stsnd,
and extinguished by simply tanning the blaze
out with a common fan or towel but my son
seized the lamp and ran out of the room to throw
it into the yard, and in doing SO scattered the
oil on the carpet, and not knowing the door was
shut, threw the lamp against 1t, breaking the
lamp and scattering the oil End lame over door,
wall and floor, so that the passage was about
one.fourth filed with fire. J. took. piece OF Of
cloth and dashed all that out, in about o hall
minute Then going into the room found large
spaces of carpet blazing, which inmodiateiy
conquered, by tanning it out with the cloth,

daughter ran into the dining room with blaze
on her dress about feet high, which was extin-
gushed by simply slapping tho parts Of the
dress together that were burning, and yet the
dress was no. the least soied. l expect to use
the same oil rs long rs can get it. and no 9TH
