 Yesterday.

Shelton Feb 14.-William G. Reagon, bartender for J. H. Donovan. met with a peculiar accident yesterday, ana though not serious it was very painful. While in the cellar he went to the fur mace, and, opening the door of the same, the flames flew up from the raging fire within in MT Reagans race. For q minute he hardly knew what had happened. as he was blinded by the flames. He stepped back from the furnace and. putting his hands up to his head, discovered that his hair was burning. He also was burned about the face andneck. On the right side of his head tie hair was burned to the scalp besides losing his eyelashes and eyebrows. When asked as to how it happened he said the damper of the furnace was closed. so the furnace was filled with gas. and when he opened the door it allowed the gas to escape bringing with it>the flames. He is able to be out, but his injuries are very painful.
