A DISTRESSING AooIDENT.-On the
9th instant, little adopted son of Oil
yer Valley was terribly burned by be-
ing caught and held under stove,
which fell upon him in the absence of
other members of the family. The boy
appeared to have crawled under the
stove to get to sleep, while the man left
with him went out to watch the fire
that was approaching the house from
burning piece. While the little fellow
lay there, he probably pushed out one of
the stove legs and let the stove, in
which there was fire, tip over on to
him in such a manner as to hold him,
while it burned one side of his face,
neck, and head to a crisp. He was lit
orally roasted, and the flesh has since
sloughed off to the bone. When the
family returned the boy was insensible,
and no one knows how long he lay there
in the terrible agony to which he was
subjected. For some days his life was
despaired of, but there are now hopes
of his recovery.
