others.--He revived in time to see his wife fall from the wagon, burned to death, and to drag from the flames one of his children, already dead.--His own clothing was burned entirely from his body, and he is severely burned, especially in the head, face and hands. He is at present sightless, but hopes are entertained of his recovery, and that his eye-sight is not destroyed. Two of the children were literally burned up in the wagon. Of one, nothing could be found but the skull; the other a charred mass, in which was no trace of humanity left. One of the horses was burned to death in the harness; the other succeeded in freeing himself, but is badly burned. The dead are Mary Ann, the wife of Mr. Swearingen, aged 30 years; Sarah Jane, Rebecca Ellen, George Dalton and Sabrina, his children, aged respectively, eleven, nine, seven and two years. The calamity occurred about seven miles northwest of this place on the Fort Dodge road, in a small basin, or commencement of a water channel.
