On Friday afternoon while Walter GOOD was fencing on his property, two miles out of Bathurst (Glouc. Co.) his two children went to where he was working. Fearing they would get hurt he sent them home. They had to pass a place where he had been burning brushwood. The clothes of one of the child, a little girl 4 years old, took fire, and when she reached home, she was so fearfully burned that she died seven hours afterwards in great agony. - Globe
