CHILD FATALLY BURNED.—A little daughter of David Buchanan was fatally burned at his house, near Jonathan's Ravine, on Saturday morning. The child, about four or five years of age, was playing about the fire, when its clothing caught from the burning coals, and before the flames could be extinguished its body was so severely burned that it lived but a short time. The funeral of the child took place yesterday. Buchanan, the child's father, is a convict, having been sent to the penitentiary last summer for stabbing Louis Felsinger at the Top Mill.
