News Item

One day last week, the house of a Mr. Perkins in the town of Pitcher [Chenango Co. NY] took fire and owing to a quantity of flax deposited in a room, the flames spread with such fearful rapidity, that all attempts to extinguish the fire proved futile.  Mr. Perkins went round his house and opened a window for the purpose of rescuing a bed.  He ran his head in, seized the clothes and there remained immovable.  He was seen by an individual a short distance off who hastened to his relief and when he pulled him back, the flames completely enveloped his head and shoulders, shooting out some six feet.  He was dreadfully burnt, insensible and his grasp upon the clothes spasmodic, bringing them away with him, although it required the utmost strength of his deliverer to drag him out of the fire.  He lived three or four days and died seemingly unconscious of his situation. Whether he was seized with a fit or stultified by the atmosphere has not been determined.  Norwich (Chenango Co.) Telegraph.
