DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
On the 6th inst. John Buckius, Esq. Coroner 
of Stark County, held an inquest on the body 
of Mr. William SPITLER, late of Jackson Township, 
which was found among the ruins of his dwelling.  
It is supposed the house took fire, accidentally, 
the night previous, but from his advanced age and 
consequent infirmity ( being about 80 years old) he 
was unable to make his escape.  Both his legs and one 
arm were entirely burnt off, and his body and head 
much burnt and defaced.
