HORRIBLE DEATH OF A FARMER
   A shocking occurrence is reported from Curryglass, in County Waterford. A farmer named Ahearn had bathed his leg and bound it with a bandage saturated with paraffin oil, when it caught fire and blazed furiously, setting his clothes aflame, and so horribly burning him that death resulted some time afterwards.
