Mr.. u. C. Noel's three little children
made narrow escape from horrible
death yesterday. Mr.. Noel and his
wife. who live short distance from
this place, had gone to visit sick bro
thcr who lives not far from their house.
and left their children at home. In
some way the dress of one OF the little
girls caught fire, and she would soon
have been completely developed in
flames but for the presence of mind OF
thr oldest child, girl about nine years
old. who grabbed counterpart and
wrapped her little sister IN il, thus ex-
tinguishing the lire. The oldest girl had
resd aloud to the other children the Sun
day before, in the Religious Herald. an
account Of similar occurrence, and
thinks she would not have known how
TO act but FOB that. The little girl was
right badly burned on the side, and
when last heard from, though suffering.
was as comfortable a. could be ex-
pected But for The remarkable cool
Aess and selfpossession Of the Oldest
daughter, one OF the children, and pro-
baby all, would have been burned to
death and the house destroyed.
