Ralston, unknown - 1860

Melancholy Incident.-- a little girl names Ralston, was burnt to death in St. Louis on Wednesday, through playing with friction matches.  While the physician was dressing the wounds of the little sufferer, her father entered, and being much intoxicated behaved so boisterously that he had to be arrested.--
While he was confined at the station-house his daughter died.
