A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT

From the Fayetteville Express. lSlh.i
We have received the particulars Of

which occurred near Boon'o LII, IN
this county, Sunday H,sht last, ~
which Mr.. James VI. Owen, n gentle
man aged about twenty six years, well
known throughout Lincoln county,
met his death IN Il manner almost too
horrible to relate. AT about nine
O'Clock on the day mentioned, the at.
tcation Of the %ncl4hbOrs Was drawn to
Mr.. Ovens dwelling 10y a bright light
which indicated fire on an extensive
scale, Rushing to the spot the house
was discovered to be IN flames, which
had attained such Roadway that they
were found TO be beyond control,
Some Of the ncighbors, upon en-.
tcriug Mr.. Owens sleeping apart
monL discovered his body, almost en-
lirrl, consumed, lying upon the noor,
presenting II spectacle at once horrid
and sickcUing. The flesh, which was
literally burned to a Clndcr, had fallen
from the bones, leaving them fully cX
posed; the head was consumed uulIl
