A YOUNG LADY BURNED TO DEATH

A YOUNG LADY BURNED TO DEATH.
We learn from the Lexington Gazette
that Miss Cornelia j. Clark, aged twen-
ty-one years, daughter of Samuel P.
Clarke, residing near Cellerstown, was
most severely buned ON Friday. May
25th. Her clothing caught from a
fire in the yard at which soap was being
made. Her mother and another lady
attempted to save her, but she broke
away from them and ran across the yard,
thus tanning the flames to greater vio-
lence. When they succeeded in stop
ping her and tearing her clothing off,
her entire person was SO severely burn
ed that death resulted in from five to
six hours. She was young lady OF
estimable character.

DROWNING OF A MINISTER AT

June l. Intelligence was received here
this evening that the body Of Rev.
John NJ. Friday, pastor Of the Lutheran
Church at Harper's Ferry, Va, was
found drowned in the canal near that
point this morning. He crossed over
from the Ferry to the Maryland side
last evening operform marriage cere-
mony, and not returning during the
night anxious friends instituted search
with the above result. 1t is the inn
preston of many that he was foully
deal with. Mr.. Friday was a married
man, and was native Of this county,
aged about thirty years. He graduated
at the Pennsylvania College, at Gettys-
burg, and entered the ministry in 1872.
He had fine abilities and stood well in
the church, and was much beloved by
his pastoral charge.

SERIOUS AUGMENTATION the
Valley we learn that on the morning of
May 30, 1877, at his fathers, residence,
near New Market, Va, William, son
of Mr.. Samuel Roller, was. accidently
shot. 1t appears, that rifle, loaded
with small shots, was SO arranged in
the smokehouse as to go off, if any one
attempted to open the door before loos-
ing a string which was attached to the
trigger. The object was to frighten a
thief who had been providing about the
neighborhood, robbing hen roosts and
smokehouses. if he attempted to enter
Mr.. Rollers. William Roller had been
in the habit, for several weeks, of loos-
ing the string early every morning, SO
as to prevent the occurrence of any &C
cident to any of the family. On the
morning of the Both instant, he went as
usual for the same purpose, and by
some mishap or move, the gun went
off, blowing three fingers off OF his
right hand, the load taking effect in his
left groin, severing the large artery.
He lived only about 20 minutes. Drs.
Henkel were sent for, but death had oc-
Cured, before the place was reached.
Young Mr.. Roller was an excellent
young man aged about 81 years. 1t
is doubly sad for any one to be so sud-
denly hurled from time into eternity,
under such circumstances. This heart
rending event draws out the sympathy
of the whole community, for the be-
reaved family.
We have noticed other accidents
caused in the same manner. A man
accustomed for years to enter his
smokehouse carelessly, runs great risk
by placing himself in position where
the least thoughtlessness may cause his
immediate death. There are other
considerations why this practice OF
setting fatal traps should be dlsconJlnu-
ed. 1t is a great annoyance to have
meat, chickens, SC. stolen, but man
had better submit to this annoyance
than to cause the death of the thief.
The remains Of probably the Oldest
person in this section Of the country
were inferred in the Lutheran church
yard at this place on last Monday
afternoon. They were those of Mrs.
Mary E. fright, whe died near
fuckers Sulphur Spring on Sunday
night last. She was born on May 10th,

hundred and three years old at the
time other death, -Tndepen6ent
