TERRIBLE ACWUIDENT.

Brip@EwaTER, Nov. 14.—A terrible accident happened at Midville, a village nine miles from this town, last evening. A young man, a son of Benjamin Snyder, was filling a lighted lantern with kerosene oil, whilst it was held by his sister,Cora, a girl of about twenty-five years. The oil became ignited and instantly the girl's clothing was in flames. While attempting to extinguish the fire the young man and others were baily burned. The house and al- most all it contents were destroyed and the injured girl died at two o’clock this morning. Much sym- pathy is felt for the bereaved parents as Miss Snyder was a most estimable young lady, with a host of friends. She was to have been mar- ried next month.
