We learn from Great-Barrington, that the dwelling house of lieutenant Isaac Pixley accidentally took fire the 2d inst. and was consumed with all the furniture; what is more shocking, a young gentleman, about 21 years old, perished in the flames. A young lady, endeavouring to save herself from the flames, by leaping from a chamber window, had her leg broken, and was otherwise much bruised by the fall; it is hoped, however, that she is in a fair way to recover. This truly melancholy accident ought to stimulate all families to take great care of their fires before they retire to rest.
