Op the evening named Miss Jennie came down stairs and took tea with the rest of the family, but shortly afterwards again retursed to her room, When the fire broke out on Logan street about half past seven o'clock the young lady went to the window and watched the flames, and naturally, became more Or less excit- ed. After the fire, she became very weak and had to be assisted to her bed. She became violently sick and vomited considerably and yet nothing serious Was apprehended, The family all retired but ber father Mr. Wm. Snortlidge, who sat by her bed gide to help her to anything she might require during the night. It was bula few misutes past 12 o'clock when Mr Shortlidge noticed a paleness in her face that seemed strange and unaccountable, He stooped to listen to her breathing | and was horrified to find that life wan al most extinet. The doctor was hasty summoned bot on his arrival the vital spark had fled and Miss Jennie was a corpse. The cause of her death is rath- | er indefinite, but was either heart disease | or hemmorrhage of the brain, but proba- bly the later was the troe cause. i - Facts for all.
