Sarah Pugh, a daughter of Jas. Pugh, Sr., was out in the field Monday, helping her brother burn straw and by some means her clothing caught fire. We learn she is not expected to live. Her brother had his hands badly burned trying to put out the fire. Later information is that she died at four o'clock next morning.

OBITUARY.
Miss Sarah Pugh, daughter of James and Margaret Pugh, departed this life, May 18th, 1875, in the most heart rending manner, being burned to death literally, accidentally catching fire, and before assistance reached her the fire had invaded the tenement of clay, and in a few hours Sarah quietly passed over the Jordan to that beautiful world beyond. It was my painful and sorrowful duty to preach her funeral, and truly it was one of the most distressing of my life. Sarah was a beautiful girl, sweet-tempered, kind-hearted, filial in devotion to her parents, and so far as I can learn was almost universally loved. Dear Sarah thou art gone on before us to that happy shore where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are forever at rest. I never witnessed more heart-felt sympathy than was manifested on this occasion by all who were present, and indeed all the community seemed to participate in this awful bereavement. The Lord bless all the dear ones that are connected with the deceased. Sarah has left this world in the morning of life. She is taken away from from the evil to come. It is always sad to part with loved ones, but more especially severe when taken away so calamitously. Sarah leaves two sisters and two brothers to mourn her early departure. But the Lord hath given and the Lord hath taken away and blessed be the name of the Lord. -- JOB.
