DEATH FROM BURSIxG.-A distressing casualty

DEATH FROM BCRSIxG.-A distressing casualty
occurred at Oregon gulch on the afternoon oi
Tuesday last, resulting in the horrible death by
fire of young girl aged between nine and ten
years, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Beregan. Mr..
Beregan is mining not far from the mouth oil
Oregon gulch, and resides with his family near
the claim. Some logs that laid upon the claim
hnd been piled up about two hundred yards from
the house and set on fire to get them out of the
way Between one and two o'clock Mrs. Bere-
gan, feeling uneasy about two younger children,
directed Katy, the young girl whose sad fate we
relating, to 60 and see that her little broth
ers die not 60 too near the fire. The poor girl
departed on her errand, but had been away but
a short time when Mrs. Beregan and young
man named Flynn, who were near the door, heard
her piercing screams, and looking down the hill,
saw Katy running toward the house as fast as
she could, with her clothing all ablaze, the
flames extending to her head. Flynn and the
agonzed mother ran to her assistance and meet
ing her about one hundred yards from the house,
stopped the burning with the aid of a blanket
Flynn had brought with him. DR.. Montague
Immediately sent for, but could do nothing
the injuries received being fatal, and she died
the evening. The unfortunate child was
literally roasted alive, the intense heat charring
the muscles that their contraction together
with her frightful scars, rendered the once
sprghtly, comely little girl distorted unsightly
wreck of her former self. 1t seems that in look
ing after the other children she passed near the
burning logs, and there being strong wind, a
spark lodged in her clothing, which Immediately
took fire. She did not observe it herself until
her little brother called to her that she was
burning when she Immediately turned and
hastened toward the house, screaming with pain
and terror, running about hundred yards
before receiving assistance, as above described.

Louis NAPOLEON There is no shock more pos
itively disagreeable than ones first view of
Louis Napoleon on foot, and near enough for ac-
curate criticism. He sits tall, and in a carriage
on horseback appears at his best. But on
foot, his short, thin legs and long body make up
awkward figure, below the medium height,
and one looks in vain at the retreating forehead,
weak chin, narrow, dropping shoulders, and
broad lips, for any of the well-known and dis
tinctve marks of the Bonaparte family. One
gazes hopeessly into the dull, glazed eyes, that
have an unpleasant resemblance to those of a
deceased mackerel, at his rcd bottle nose, and
retreating chin, to find evidence of intellect and
character.
