"A little son aged about two years
and three months, of w. HI. Arthurs,
of Centreville, this county, was
horribly burned on Wednesday, 26th
ult. The mother of the child had
gone to neighbOr's house on an er-
rand and while she was gone the child
got hold of some parlor matches,
which it set afire burning the clothes
from its body. The screams of the
child soon brought several persons to
the rescue but too late. After suffer-
ing intense agony for nearly seven
hours death came to the relief of the
little sufferer. The child was burned
to hard crisp, and the wonder is that
1t lived so long. Matches We're still in
the child's hands when found, and
were also scattered around. AT first
the child was rolled in snow to put
out the blaze. 1t then asked for
water which was given it in large guam
titles. This is, indeed, the saddest
item we have chronicled in many a
day.
