Till death closed their mortal career

On Tuesday morning, the 15th instant, when the men employed at the lime-kiln near St. Catherine's, Waterford, went to their work, they found a man and a woman lying dead on the edge of its eye. The parties were.soon recognized; the young man having lived in the immediate neighbourhood of the kiln, and the unhappy woman, who, we understand, was the widow of an industrious carpenter, at no great distance from it.

The wretched youth was known to have been drinking at a late hour in the neighbourhood the preceding evening, and it is thought the parties must have found their way into the yard at low water, through the sluice at John's Hill.

Incapable of reflection, they had suffered themselves to be so much attracted by the heat of the kiln, as to seek repose on its very crown, where, rendered senseless by the mephitic vapour, they were retained till death closed their mortal career. When found, one side of the man was literally roasted.
