been kindled on the hearth in her room, and

ing dry goods. Unable to tell whence the
odors proceeded, and being too weak tc
rise, she signaled for her nurse, who after
some delay obeyed the call. On being told
of the suspected fire, she made search of the
room and discovered that large space had
been burned In the bed clothing-the fire
having been communicated by spark from
the wood on the hearth. When discovered,
the fire was on the point of breaking out
into fame, and had the nurse delayed In
obeying the call, the consequence must have
been terrible.

EDITOR HERALD The Democrats have
up to the present time been very slow to
