| SHOCKING DEATH FROM BURNING.—An extraordianry and fatal occurrence has taken place at Curryglass, near Tallow, by which a farmer named Michael Ahern has lost his life. Deceased suffered from a pain in his leg, and was recommended to use paraffin oil. Having rubbed the leg with oil a bandage saturated with oil was wrapped around the affected part and fastened.
