Serious Accident
On Thursday evening last, a Mrs. Tyrell, living on Karr's Run, was severely 
burned, and fears are entertained that she many not recover.  While engaged in 
sewing, one of her children, playing with some fire-brands, accidentally set 
fire to her dress.  After vainly endeavoring to extinguish the flames for some 
moments, she started to Karr's Run, but before she reached the water her 
clothes were entirely burned off.  She was at last accounts lying in a very 
critical condition, not expected to survive. 

FIRES
On Tuesday night last, the residence of Mr. Asel Bolten, in Rutland was 
entirely destroyed by fire.  We have not been able to ascertain the origin of 
the fire, but we understand that nearly every thing in the house - even the 
clothing of the family was destroyed.  The loss will fall heavily upon Mr. 
Bolton, as we believe he is a poor man, and this property is about the sum of 
his earthly possessions.

On Wednesday morning a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Anton Betz, which 
destroyed his dwelling and store, and a frame house belonging to Mr. V. B. 
Horton.  The fire is supposed to have originated from a defect in a stove 
pipe.  The fired burned so rapidly that Mr. Betz was unable to save anything 
valuable either from the house or store.  About $300 in money, we understand 
was burned.  His loss is estimated at $2000.  Mr. Horton's loss is probably 
$500.

DIED
In Syracuse, Meigs county, on the 27, ult. Estella Washington, infant daughter 
of Wm. H. and Elizabeth Copper, age 11 months.
