A Little Girl Burnt to Death: (BY TELKOBAPH) (UNITED PBBSS ASSOCIATION.) Inveecabgul, October 23. A distressing accident took place last Saturday on the farm of MrW.O, Moore, Whikiki, about three miles from town. It appears that a widow named Sbaw, whose husband died two years ago, resides m a small hut about three chains from Moore's with two girls,five and three years. About nine a.m. the mother went out to milk cows, leaving the children m the house alone. She was not long absent, and on entering the house found the eldest child m the centre of the floor fearfully burned. The clothing was completely destroyed, and the child quite dead. It is unknown how the accident happened, as the younger child cannot give any account, further than that her unfortunate sister cried *' Ma." Kb cries were heard at Moore's.
