SCHOOKING ACCIDENT TO A CHILD.
A little son, 2’> years of age, of Mr R. Cook, manager for Mr A. Reeves, Patutahi, met with a most distressing accident last Thursday. About 8 o’clock in the morning Mrs Cook left her little boy standing in front of the fire dressed, in hia underclothing while she went outside for something. He tring the child screaming loudly, she rushed in and found him enveloped in flames, she immediately seized a cloak and wrapped it quickly round him. On Dr Leggatt’s arrival he found the little sufferer had been burned very severely about the legs and abdomen, and that he was in great agony. The child’s life is despaired of. We sympathise much with the poor mother, who is greatly distressed.
