A Narrow Escape.

Alley, the C-year-old son of Nh. Jas.
E. Barton was painfully burned yester-
day morning at his home near the
northern suburbs of the city. Alley,
with his older brothers, had decided to
go out rabbit hunting. At the sugges-
tion of a negro boy, the boys gathered
ND some old sacks and thoroughly
wrapped them around their legs to
protect them from the snow. While
placing these sacks in position Alley
stood too near the fire and in few
seconds his apparel was i'll flames.
The little fellow screamed at tine top
of his voice, which attracted the atten-
tion of his father, who was in the din
ing room at breakfast. Mr.. Barton ran
80 his sons assistance, and it was with
difficulty that he pulled the burning
sacks from the little fellows legs,
finally having to pour water on them
TO put out the fire. The calves of both
legs were severely burned, raising
large blisters, but will not leave scar.
The little fellow is now doing well.
In extinguishing the flames Mr.. Barton
was painfully burned on the fingers OF

Severe Weather.

The Sunny South" has been IN the
icy grip of the storm king for several
days past. In many sections the snow
was deeper and the weather colder
than was ever experienced before. In
this city light snow, followed by
sleet, fell last Saturday, and the mer-
culy took big drop before night.
Early Sunday morning the snow COM
menced falling again and continued
nearly all through the day, covering the
ground to depth of four or five inches.
On Monday the sun peeped out but it
had no effect on the snow. Through
out the day it was bitter cold and the
mercury firteQ around zero. That
night it registered four degrees below
zero, which is something unusual for
this country. Thismorning the weather
is still cold and the snow is sticking
well.

An Appeal ror the POOR.

EliiorS Injciligcncv': The generous
response by our citizens to the appeal
for help for the suffering poor has put
provisions and fuel in every house
where needed, and unless the cold
weather should last for some time yet,
it is probable that the help already
rendered will be sufficient, so far as
provisions and fuelarc concerned. The
greatest need now is for clothing, shoes,
stockings and quilts and especially
such as are suited for children. If
anyone has cast-otf' articles OF the kind
mentioned and can't send them to the
City Hall, we will send for them on
being notified.
Such things will prove a blessing to
many suffering ones.
