Distressing Accident
--A most distressing accident occurred in Scott co., Iowa, a short time ago. The wife of Mr. Wm. Nellis being engaged in some household duty at some distance away, left her two children, aged two and four years, at the house. The prairie was on fire near by, and the children, it is supposed, attempted to go to their mother, when the youngest one got caught in the fire, and was burned to death.
