A m", st shocking atihir took place on the 30t ult. in Clinton county. Three childr 1 of ' Michael Krapes, respect ively a x, four, and two years of age, burned to death in a small pig stable which was partly filled with hay on the day of the accident. The oldest bi:kild was in the habit of smoking,- and before entering the stable with the other two children, he procured matches, and either . directly • with the matches or through the fire of his cigar. set the hay on fire and all were burned, into com plete crisps before help reached them. The mother heard the screams of the terrified children, but concluded they were actively . engaged at play. An older sister was the first to discover the situation of the children: and at once gave alarm. She hastened to remove a board from the burning stable when, to her horror, the •three children rolled out crisps. The remains were burled on the 31st inst: in the presence of a large concourse of people.
