An Extremely Aged Woman Tries to Feed
 the Dead Body of Her Daughter.
 MANTLE, N. r., Jan. 13.-Feeble cries for help, proceeding from a soli- tary farm house in the town of Stockton, caused passer-by to in Quire the cause. On entering the mis- erable home he saw outstretched on the floor, and wrapped in a quilt, the dead body of a woman of about 60. The body was in an advanced stage of de- composition, and the face was black, yet it was possible to recognize it as Mrs. Clark She and her aged mother had lived there in isolation from choice, not necessity, for several years. The mother is S2 years old, nearly blind and cripple. She had been unable to lift the body back to bed, and could not realize that her daughter was dead, so she had been coddling and feeding the corpse ever since death, which must have occurred two weeks ago. The mouth of the corpse was stuffed with unmasticated food.

There was a general rush to escape, some were trampled to death, others jumped out of the windows and were either killed or so badly injured that they were unable to escape the flames and so perished, while others passively awaited their fate, which was not long in overtaking them, and they were roasted alive or suffocated by the smoke
