A distressing accident occurred near Bloomingsburg on Wednesday, which has probably 'ere this ended the life of a bright and intelligent girl, aged about 18 years. It was maple sugar making time on the farm of Amos BUSSERT, and the daughter mentioned was assisting in the work. While all were absent from the kettles except the girl and a younger member of the family, her clothes caught fire and before assistance arrived she was so horribly burned that it is impossible for her to recover. All of her clothing including her shoes were burned upon her body.
