Sad Accident.

a most distressing and fatal accident
occurred last Friday morning mt the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Max Levy. Their
little daughter, Molly, aged years,
had been complaining for several DAYS,
and Friday morning about O'Clock
she awoke her parents, and told, them
she had such bad taste in her mouth.
Hea parents gave her bottle contain
ing iull pint of whisky, and suppos.
ing that the little girl would only take
taste. paid no further attention but
fell asleep again, In the morning the
little girl seemed to be sleeping sound
~, and no attempt was made to awak-
en- her until about 8 o'clock, whom they
found she could not be aroused. and
the contents of the bottle was missing.
Or. Crutcher was immediately called,
but his skill proved of no avail, and the
little ones spirit passed away at 6
O'Clock.
1t is mystery how child could
drink full pint of fiery liquor, but as
She WAS in feverish condition, it is
supposed that the sense of taste was in
a measure destroyed, ana the liquor
seemed cooling to the feverish condi-
ton.
The remains were shipped Saturday,
per express, to Newark, N. j., where
they were inferred.
Little Molly was a handsome. win
some little Miss, and her childish play
aud prattle will be missed by all who
knew her. No one can tell the an.
guish and agony of the parents over
this terrible accident, and they have
the sympathy of the entire community.
