A Dreadful Death from Kerosene

A heartbreaking affair occurred at
Peekskill, N. j., Tuesday evening
Miss Hattie Britton resided with her
parents, both invalids. At about ten
o'clock she went down stairs for some
thing for her mother, when she was
taken. with tit and dropped the kero-
sene lamp, instantly setting fire to her
clothes. From the traces Ct fire on the
carpet it is evident when she recovered
herself she ran across the room several
times, and then, maddened by the
pain, burst open the door and ran for
the house of the nearest nelghbor,
strewing the path with pieces of burnt
cloth and flesh. She gained the top
step of the house and sank with every
piece of'olothing burned from her body.
She lived only about four hours after,
suffering the most dreadful agony.

The parish will do all it can to aid in

plank or corderoy from the top Of

We fear, will cost much money. Still
it can be done and il worth all that
may be expended upon it. Let our city

put their heads together and devise .
plan to render passable this most i'm.

do We will be cut of during the wet

five, to work upon the streets Of the
city for not exceeding twelve days in

they should be made to furnish sub
