FATAL ACCIDENT—A painful and heart-rendering accident occurred in Charlestown a few weeks ago by which a little girl, aged seven years, daughter of Christian Abischer, lost her life. She was sent by her mother on an errand to a neighbor's. On her return she endeavored to shut the gate (which was an old fashioned swing) by climbing on it. The post on which the gate was hung was rotten and gave way and the gate fell with the child beneath it. When found by her parents life was extinct.
