NARROW ESCAPE.

Tuesday morning, Jan. 9, Mrs. Isaiah
Young had q very narrow escape from
being seriously burned. While passing
between quilt that was in frame and an
open fireplace where fire was burning,
her apron was drawn in by the draught
and took fire. Instantly she was enveloped
in the flames. She turned and rushed
back to the next room, and in so doing
set fire to the guilt, which was burned.
Her husband, coming in Just at the time,
was the first 10 see her, and rushing to hsr,
stripped the apron from her. BY this
time the other inmates OF the house We're
summoned, and removed the burning
dress, which fortunately was flannel and
did not burn quickly. There were slight
burns on her face and behind her ear, and
the hair was badly burned of the right
side OF her head. Mr.. Young's hands
were quite badly burned The escape
seems more remarkable when her age is
considered, as she is past ninety-one, and
her eyesight dim, while her husband is
past ninety-fye.
THE AMERICAN correspondent called at
their home on Saturday, and while there
Mr.. Young passed them paper on which
he had very plainly written without
glasses the following: 81 am ninety five
years and one month old to-day He
cannot converse much on account of his
defective hearing, but otherwise is won
derfully well preserved. He can also read
the newspaper without glasses.
