AN accident happened near Burton,
Grant County, on the 10th, ult.,
which is exceeding sad and pitiable,
aud was related as follows by a
correspondent to the Platteville
paper: a little girl seven years old,
named Annie Shaben, was left with
a younger brother at home, the
mother having gone TO call on a
neighbor. During her absence while
the little girl was taking fire from
the stove her clothes caught fire,
aud she was terribly burned before
her brother succeeded in subduing
the fire by throwing water upon her,
her clothes being nearly all burned
from her body I'm this horrible
condition, thinking the only thing
she cOulu 90 was 10 go 70 her mama,
she slipped on another dress and ran
the whole distance fully mile and
a quarter upon arriving and being
in the most eXcruciating torture she
could only articulate the word "fre'
and strange to say the people did
not notice the child but thinking the
house was on fire ran to the place
and there learned from the little boy
the true state Of affairs and upon
returning found the poor chad in
sensible. She fingered about three
days, when, daash snded her tortpres.

TIE attendance at the High

ing was beyond all expectations !;
and it might be truthiulIy said that
the whole performance was nore
mastery executed than expected, f,
agreeably surprising the audience
and repeatedly drawing out pcals Of
applause Each scholar who par
ticipated readily revealed the careful
and judicious drilling enforced by
the teachers. Like ia the blue-arch
canopy above, the stars were visible,
but no part in itself insignificant
Personal mention is unnecessary.
The great crowd in attendance will
gladly spread broadcast the merits
of those taking part. Seldom, if
ever, does any travelling company
give better satisfaction. A foremost
feature Of the evening was the music
by the Hoare Bros, between scenes,
which held the hearers fast in silence
and admiration.
