A Shocking Death.—Mrs. Lydia Seott, of Newport 111.I., was terribly burned by the explosion of a kerosene lamp on Thursday morning last. The Providence Press says she was in theroom alone, and other members of thefamily being- on another floor, but her cries soon brought a female domestic to her assistance, who had in her arms an infant of Mrs. Scott’s, about six weeks old, which in her fright and confusion she threw into its mother’s arms, all burning as she was, and radiing to a street window, cried tire. Tlus brought assistance from the stree t, and a soldier from Fort Adams, taking off his coat, threw it around the suffering woman, thus extinguishing the flames. Mrs. Scott died at half-past ten the same nigh t. The infant will probably survive.
