"A TERRIBLE accident occurred in our adjourning county of Hart on the 6th inst., 
which resulted in the fatal burning of a child and the severe burning of its 
mother. Mrs. Chapman who left her little babe in its cradle and had occasion 
to be absent for a short time, on returning found the cradle on fire and the 
child so badly burned that it expired in a few minutes. In her desperate 
efforts to save her child, she seied it, and the fire being some communicated 
to her clothing she was very severely burned before assistance could be had 
to extinguish the flames.

"It is a melancholy occurence and one that ought to furnish a fearful lesson 
to others."
