lit11o okild had procured q match in some
unor which she ignited while lying In her |

11o6ch sst fire TO the bed clothing and the
clothes Of the child, and they were soon in
blAsa Tho heat from the burning material
started tho child to crying which was heard
BY the mother. MrA Maull ran up stairs
and found the bed clothing in flames. With
the assistance Of some neighbors the fire was
soon extinguishod. The cries Of the child
dre would have soon stified the little girl and
fatal results would have occurred. DR. Bern

all possible aid to alleviate the sufferings OF
the child. The injuries consist of terrible
burns about the lower limbs, but they will
NOT result in any serious manner. The
parents are at q loss TO know how the child
got the match, - these articles are always
Kept out of the reach OF the children.
A Narrow Escape.
On Tuesday, Mr.. NJ. Bachenheimer &C.
companied by Mr.. Harry Waller, Of Sunbury.
Pa, went out on the river on fishing ex.
cursion. The boat was rowed up the river
towards the steamboat landing, at the bridge.
The water at this place is about fifteen feet In
depth. Mr.. Waller stood up in the boat and
attempted to take hold OF the cribbing, at
the landing. When he caught hold of the
logs be tried to pull the boat to the landing,
but he pushed the boat farther from him and
fell into the water. Mr.. Waller not being
able TO swim, had a very narrow escape from
being drowned. The only part that could be
seen was his hands. MIR. Bacnenheimer
seized q fishing rod, which the struggling
man managed to take hold OF. In this way
he was pulled towards the boat In the con.
fusion OF the time, the boat was nearly upset
and was half full of water. The escape from
drowning was very close.
Met with Poor Success
Word was received in town yesterday to
send police assistance to the farmers along
the Chickies creek who have been troubled
TO great extent by tramps The three po-
lice of1cers went to the place where the
trampe were encamped, but the men had left
for other places. A number of fires and
other signs indicated the presence of tramps
short while previous. They must have re-
cetved notice of the coming of the police.
When tramps are arrested by the officers for
disturbing the farmers considerable trouble
them.
