    3. Saturday 06 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 5) SCOTCH NEWS-Feb. 5. On Sunday morning last, a little interesting girl, about seven years of age, daughter of Mr. George RICHARDSON, carrier in Annan, while endeavouring to lift a tea kettle to place it on the fire, unfortunately going too near the grate, her clothes instantly caught the flame, and before assistance could be rendered, she was burnt in so shocking a manner as to occasion her death in a few hours. We are sorry to state, that about eight o'clock in the evening of Thursday week, the body of Mr. KELLIOCK, late overseer at Closeburn limeworks, was discovered lying partly in the river, betwixt the two bridges, on the Maxwelltown side, by a woman who had gone for some water. It is supposed, that, owing to the darkness of the night, Mr. K. had missed his way, and fallen over the steps. He has left a wife and young family to lament his loss.
