peeulisrlY sad. It seems that the servant had
an open fire IN the yard. where she was heat

the vicinity, Blsnche's mother being an In
valid at the time. The lire caught the clothes
Of the little one, who bravely bu: Vainly tried
to eKtinguish the flames and then ran in the
face Of brisk wind TO her mother's bedside.
She dlyestsd the little one Of the burning
garments as rapidly as possible, but not in
time to prevent the fatal result. The
child fingered IN fearful agony until death
came TO ber relief at midnight. The grief Of
/ the stricken parents was heartrending, and
they have the fympatby Of 4arge circle o.
friends, and indeed Of the entire community.
Little Blanche was most interesting child,
bright. beautiful as a summers dream, and
loving, the pride and Joy Of her parents, and
and an universal fayorite among her play
mates here, she has gone to form part Of the
angelic choir. The funeral took place from
the house and the Interment al Orange Grove
Cemetery. MFR. and Mrs Woolman desire
herewith to express their gratitude to the
friends and neighbors. who rendered every
assistance in their power, and whose kindly
sympathy was extended without stint. The
floral decorations were most beautiful, among
the principle ones being sickle composed Of
white roses, and b cross, the two plecesneaTl
