Dies of Burns.

Zearing, Dec. 1.--The little 16-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Arrasmith, living two miles north of Zearing, is dead, after having suffered a most agonizing week as the result of burns. The babe was playing with her little brother in the kitchen last Tuesday, and began to invesigate the fire in the cook stove. The babe's clothing was ignited and its left side horribly burned. While everything was done to prevent the child's death, all efforts proved unavailing. The funeral was held Sunday.
