The 101 l 'wing accident happened on Tuesday last, at the residc-nce of kIENtrY SPENcE, Esq. near Kes-, w iek.. The fa Indy were awakened early in the mot n-1 1 ing, hy dreadful screams. A young woman, a serivant ran into the room, all in flares ; her head a i 40rrid spectacle. As her cap ...and her handkerchief . i v. ere only on fire, the filmes were soon extinguishi ed; but it was sortie time before she was sufficiently recovered 10 account for the injury received in her. face. It seems another maid being ill in the night, the soberer had rrsen, to get some hot water. The ! tinder. was.thinp, and she.could- not strike a light t when reo.lieCting that she had beard gunpowder ; would produce .the effect, she got the servant's powder-horn which he bad to destroy magpies, and put a considerable quantity into the tinder-box. The consequence is obvious : however, Mr. EDMONSONI (the surgeoti) is of opinion, that she will quite recover her sight k nor does he exiled she will be dis] figured, the grains having exploded before they fixed on the lace: We hope this will be a•cautiou never to leave gunpowder, where those unacqulint7 ed with its powers can procure it.,  t A dog otter, 4 'feet lontg, and 381bs. weight, was on Monday shot oa,the- Wears near M ,tik's. Mill. Tuesday afternoon a fire brbke out in the premises 4.3 baker in Mary-le-bonne-lane, , where an immen-e collection of shavings had been made during the erection of a chapel in the neighbourhood. Though three engines were soon on the spot, no water could be obtained from the fire-plugs. In this emergency, Dr.-',l'hoawroN, whose house is in the next street, proposed-that the neighbours should . carry water to the.engines from their respective cis; terns. By this means such a supply was furnished as enabled the firemen to subdue the names in a short time. Is'it not surprising that means so easy should not be generally resorted to ?
