While Mr. Campbell and wife were on their way home from the Sabbatb school convention at Whittaker laet Wednesday eveniug, they were met and informed by their hired boy that their daughterwas badly burned. It happened the hired girl was quilting and the little girl in passing by the quilting frames hit them and thus upset the lamp near by. The hired girl supposed the lamp had exploded, and grabbed it to throw it out the door, bnt the door was looked and as sbe turned sbe saw the little girl on flre. She poured on water, then took her to the pump but this did not extinguish the flamea.
