Burnt to death
--A woman named Cynthia Maguire, from Lee county, Va, was burnt to death at Reedy Creek Camp Ground, Sullivan county, Tenn, on Saturday morning, the 1st instant, from her clothes taking fire.
It appears that, traveling with her two children, she had fallen in with some wagoners, on Friday evening, going towards Lee, who permitted her to camp with them.
In the morning, while the latter were gearing their horses, they were attracted by her shrieks, and, going to her aid, found her enveloped in flames, her dress having caught from the camp fire.
She expired almost instantly.
She was supposed to have been intoxicated at the time of the accident.
