DREADFUL DEATH. Such unhappy occurrences as the following, although they may serve as a warning to other persons similarly engaged, afford no pleasure to an editor in rehearsing.

On Tuesday afternoon last, as Mr John Rigle, of Lower Mt. Bethel, Pa. nearly opposite this place, was engaged in opening a lime kiln, the arch sustaining an immense weight of lime gave way, and precipitated him into it, the hot lime closing him up to the neck. At the time of the accident, no one was near to render any assistance, but the screams of two or three of his small children alarmed Mr Rigle's wife, who arrived in time, not to extricate him, but to receive his last words.—He survived but a few hours after being taken out, having literally roasted to death! The deceased has left a wife and six small children to lament his premature loss. He was a respectable and worthy citizen, in the prime of life.—Belvidere Apollo.
