_______________________

On the evening of the 6th inst, the wife of Mr. Israel Parshal of this town [Cherry Valley, Otsego Co. NY] was burned to death in a most shocking manner.  It appears from what we can gather, that on Saturday, between five and six o'clock P.M. Mrs. Parshall, an aged lady of 57 years, was left in her house, also a hired man, by the name of Blinco, to adjust the furniture which had lately been brought to the house.  At about 8 o'clock, Mr. Low and the son of Mrs. Parshal, came to the house and as they supposed from seeing an unusual light, thought the house to be on fire.  They immediately opened the door, and took a burning bundle and drew it out of the house, but soon after discovered it to be the body of a human being and so badly was it burned to a crisp, that it was taken to be the man, Blinco.  After searching, however, Blinco was found in the barn, asleep in a state of the most perfect drunkenness.

It is impossible to say, with any degree of certainty, in what way the fire was communicated to her person; although it is supposed, that her dress caught fire while in the act of lighting a candle, as many matches, a candle, &c., were found near the remains.  An inquest was held on Sunday, the result of which we have not been able to learn.
