the little boy, aged four, ran in the house
and told his mother that the little girl
aged six was call on fire in the stable
and wouldn't come out" The frenzied
mother mistook the place and went to
another barn first. and thus made some
delay, and when she gotto the stable the
whole thing was wrapped in flames, and
after it had burned down only the CHAR.
red remains of the child were found.
Two horses and some other stock were
also burned. The sad affair Mortified the

The funeral occurred at Northcote and
