We hear from York, of another unfortunate Accident: A poor unhappy Woman of that Town, known by the Name of Drunken Frank, who too often disguis'd herself in Liquor, about a Fortnight ago, was so far overcome that way, that she lost her Life by it: Tis suppos'd she set Fire to her Cloaths by Accident, and was not able to help herself; for she was found lying in the Chimney Corner in her House, with her Cloaths burnt off her Back, and her Arms, Breast, and Body so miserably burnt, that she died last Saturday, a most melancholy Object. We hope this dreadful Example may be a Means to deter others too much addicted to excessive Drinking, from pursuing that pernicious Practice.
