Have you rigen from lyour bed after a short sleep to find yourself nearly sufiocated with Catarrhal matter, in your nose, head and throat? Have you noticed what a depressing influence it exercises on the mind, blunting its faculties, besides enervating the body as well? How.difficult to rid the head of this foul matter all can testify who are afflicted with Catarrh. How difficult to protect the system against its farther progress towards the lungs and bronchial tubes, all physicians can testify. It is a.terrible disease, and cries out for relef. To be freed from the danger of suffocation while )yiné: down; to breathe freely, sleep soandly and undisturbed ; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter defiles the breath and undermines the system; to know that the body does not, through its veins and arteries, carry the poison that is sure to destroy, is indeed a blessing. To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who hava tried many remedies and physiciang, despair of relief or cure.

DR. SCHENCK’S PULMONIC SYRUP, SeA-WEED Tonig, and Manpraka Prrns,—These medicines have'undoubtedly performed more cures of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American pub]ic.‘ They are com-. pounded of vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which fgan be injurious to the human constitution. . Other remedies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cascs, and if taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do ‘great injury; forits tendency isto confine the morbid matter in the system, which, of course, must make a cure impossible. = Schenck’s Pulmonic Byrup is warranted not to.contain a ?a,rti--cle of opinm; it is composed of powerful ‘but harmless herbs, which act on the!lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. These are the only means by which Consumption can be curéd, and as Dr. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, an Mandmk.e Pills are only medicings which operate in this ‘way, it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. -Each Bottle of this invaloable medicine is -accompanied by full directions. ~ Dr. Schenck 18 professionally at his principal office, cor.

v He Says 1t Is True. . SExecA Favvrs. Nov. 9, 1876, Mz. H. R. STEVENS: ~ : Dear Sir—As you are an entire stranger to me. I want you to know what VEGETINE has done for me. Only those who have been raised from death’s door can know the value ‘of such a good medicine, I am 58 years of age. Three years ago I was taken sick with what the doctors called Lumsaco. For weeks I was confined te mybed. I had three different physicians, without any help. 1 received no relief: I was g great sufferer: finally I became entirelly helpless. ~ The last doctor told me there was ne help; he said he might possibly save my life by ejecting morphine in my arms and legs. The encoaragement for saving my hife by having this done whs so small a chance I conld not con—sent to run the risk. About this time my son read your advertisement "in oar paper, a testimony of & person who had been very sick with about the same cowmplaint, and was cured. My son went right away to the apothecary store and purchased a bottle of VEGETINE. Beforel had used the first bottle I found great relief; I could -move myself in bed. After taking three bottles I was able to sit up'and move about myroom. I continued taking the Vegetine, andl wasin a few weeks restored to.my former health.. The VEGETINE sayed my life after the physicians said there was no help for me. I have hadno doctor since. Ifll feel unwell I'take a dose of Vegetine, and. I recommend it to my friends. - g Your Vegetine ought to be in every family. My doctor was surprised to see me in good health, He says VEGETINE 15 a good medicine, I tell him it cured me. He says, “it is true,” I cannot feel too thankful. Very gratefally yours, ; Mrs. CATHARINE COONS, Sencca Falls, Seneca County, N. Y. !

VEGETINE. ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD-, If VegETINE wiil relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health afteritrying different physicians. many remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can be cnred? Why is this medicine performing such great cures? It works in-the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blaod Purifier.’ The gréat source of disease originates in the blood; and no medicine that does lot act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attertion. | ; VEGETINE.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1877.

OVER THE BRIDGE. : A PHYSIiCIAN’S STORY. ‘I will tell you the story as it was told to me. s It will not be best to give names correctly, for some of the parties are yet :living, and there are sad dark parts which they would not like to have come before the public eye, as the secret has long been kept. = It was more than a quarter of a cenfury ago, when Chicago was not so large as at the present tiine, buti as wicked in a comparative sense. g Lester Daxton was a prosperous and very wedlthy merchant. He had accumulated through a long!and useful life, and in old age, 4s we find him, with a clear record, he was able to en~ joy the luxuries which his honest in-. dustry afforded. ; Mr. Daxton had no children of his own, but Providence seemed to:place. in his hands one that he believed he loved as dearly as though it were his ‘own flesh and blood.J The wife of one in his employ had died. Soon after the husband followed, leaving incharge of Mr. Paxton a bright beautiful boy of some five years. ¢ g As the boy grew in stature, he grew in the affections of his godfather, until finally he was regularly adopted, and took the position of sole heir to the merchant’s immense fortune. ;

Mr. Daxton was of English birth, and ‘had come to this country many years before, in company with an only brother,” and indeed the only living relative that he had. In New York they quarreled, and separating in anger, never met again. - i A ® Tester Daxton ever regretted the unkind separation, and often desired to learn the whereabouts of his brother Edward, that'a reconciliation might be effected; but time passed on with= out the slightest clue until Roland, the adopted son, wag eighteen years of. age. ! . s

~About this time thére appeared at the store of the merchant a young gentleman from New Orleans, who asked to see Mr. Daxton in private. The old gentleman courteously complied with the request, and was -astonished as well as pleased to find that the papers the young man bore proved him to be no other than his own nephew, son qf Edward Daxton. Kustace Daxton, the nephew, gave a full account of his father’s meanderings, his death in a southern city in an almost destitute condition. 5

The old merchant’ssympathies were at once awakened, and he urged upon hig only surviving relative a home! of welcome at his house, so long as he might desire to remain. 2

. Kustace was.soon installed as a member of tlie family, and placed in a prominent position, inn one of the stores, at a good round salary. Ie and Roland became friends, not warm and firm, but social and respectful. © The truth was, Eustace was possessed of the spirit which had ruined his father; he was jealous, covetous and extravagant, while Roland was generous, trusting and prudent. Matters went on quietly enough for a year; by this time Eustace had pryed into alf ‘the details of his uncle’s wealth, and had learned of the legal heirship of Roland, as his adoption had been in full accordance with the law; then he began planping to remove the obstacle that stood between himself and affluence when his uncle had ended his days. =

To do murder did not at first enter into the arrangement, but after it was found that the barrier could'not be removed without removing Roland,he premeditated the crime. Now Kustace became more. affable in his manners and obliging in his general ideportment, and so artfully did he carry out’his. scheme that he retained the full confidence of his uncle and Roland. ‘ : : He sought the'society of the latter and the two spent their evenings together at reading-rooms, clubs and entertainments.: : _Thus a winter passed, and one night in spring Eustace managed to keep Roland out until an hour when the city had becomehushed and still. Then they moved togetl&er; through -the shadowy streets until the bridge was reached which spans the sluggish river. Eustace paused and leaned upon therailing,gazing downward a moment he asked Roland to note the mirrored stars beneath. e ; “The constellations are as bright below as above,” he said, “and I believe there is as much a heaven in one as in the other.” £ : “I don’t know,” answéred Roland; ‘the problem of the mysterious future I have not solved.” : “Then you shall do s 0 now!” whisperegd Eustace, close to his ear; at the sime time he clutched the' slender form and quick as thought lifted it over the railing and dropped it from his grasp. ' . A hand caught the bar and stayed the fall, but Eustace bruised the white fingers with his heel until they lost their hold, and he saw the object of his jealous hate plunge into the dark waters beneath him. ity

Only one cry came up. “Would you murder- me, Kustace?” fell upon the ear of the :assassin, as he hurriedly glanced to the right and left to see if any one had witnessed the deed. He heard the struggle for life below; he saw the rising and sinking form, and when it had disappeared he moved rapidly'and unobserved homeward. © . : : The housé was still, and Eustace reached his room unseen. . » He made no preparations for retiring, folLhe knew he could not sleep. A vague apprehension had seized him/ that made him start as every gust of wind kissed thie window pane and all the time there Igng in his ears a deep solemn voice, as if the wail of a departed spirit, “Would you murder me, Eustace ?” 5 :

He paced the room until the morning light shone through the casement. A hundred resolves were made; he contemplated suicide in numerous forms. Now that the crime had been committed, he felt'that apprehension would be cembain; before he had not thought of this. At last heframedan excuse for his uncle, and resolved to leave the city, disguise and seclude himself until. the body should have been found, and a verdict rendered by the coroner of suicide, as there surely would be no evidence of foul play existing. Should he remain his acticns might betray guilt. -~ ° Eustace carefully prépared histoilet and packing his valise, descended to the library, where he felt certain of finding his uncle to tell him of his intention. o The old getleman sat by the fire, apparently in troubled meditation,and looked up with unfeigned astonishment, as his nephew entered. “Good mormngl,' unele,” said: the ‘youth in a natural tone, but with his eyes upon the opposite side of the room, “I received a telegram last night, after you left the store, calling me at once to New Orleans to attend some unfinished business pertaining to my father’s affairs.” “Would you please and lev me see thglmessage?” asked Mr. Daxton earnesuly. - e oy

Eustace nervously ﬁé'gered his pockets, then, after a littlell'tappareht refleetion, coolly remarked that it might be in his overcoat, and relieving himself of his embarrassiment by going te the hiall and bringing in the garment. | "I don’t.find it,” He said, “I think I hta‘ve lost the message, or left 1t at the store.” ; A

“ Never mind,” said the uncle, fbut did Roland return with youlast night 2* “No, sir;” came the answer in a troubled way, “he came nearly heme with me, when he said he had forgot-; ten to lock the safe; -he started baek,’ telling me thatx.ga;e should remain in the store until morning.” :

“Did you cross the bridgetogether ?” asked the old gentleman, with something of a tremor in 'his voice. “He came part way with me, I have said; of course we came together.” Tustace appeared agitated by the questions of his| uncle, and catching up the overcoat, which lay in a chair, began putting it-on, as if determined to bring the dialogue to a close. =

“Hgld!” said Mr. Daxton, gazing through his glasses with his eyes set upon the. young man’s face. “Did you come off the bridge together ?”

The ‘criminal shrank under the searching words -and gaze. A hundred thoughts flashed through his mind in an,instant. How could his uncle know of ‘the tragedy, or how could he guess it? 'His wits did not help him longer; his tongue seemed to thicken and refuse utterance. |

“T am—l am—" he stammered. “A " murderer!” cried the uncle. springing to his feet, and confronting the cringing culprit.. | f TEustace could stanél no more; he sprang ‘from the room, now terrified beyond ' the exercise of reason., The hall, door irefused to five him exit; the | key was gone. He ;dashed up stairs through one room and another, and finally swung from the window by his handg, and dropped to the earth below. LT e

It was not long ago that an old man came to the city, stricken, not with years, but with mental agonies | until his hair:was-as white as snow, his skin wrinkled, and his steps faltering and feeble. Ie was taken into the care of a christian‘gentleman of wealth and influence, and whileattending him asimedical practitioner, I heard the story which I have just related, for the old man was no one else than Eustace Daxton. ‘

Escaping from his unele’s house, he fled in terror, and -at last reached the, gold regions of the Pacific coast. Changing his name, he spent a life in mental torture, until crushed by the heavy load upon his conscience, he returned to the place of his first murderous deed to deliver himself into the hands of thelaw. He had never heard more of the'tragedy after making his escape, and how his uncle had any knowledge of the deed on the bridge, had ever been a mystery. .

A CRAZY MAN, ticketed to this city from some point'in Ohio, made a desperate assault with a razor upon a tellow passenger on board of an express train on the P., F't., W. & C. railway, between Dunkirk and Washington, 0., on Monday evening of last week. Seeing a struggle between two men, the passengers rushed toward them, when they found that the throat of one in a seat was c¢ut frém ear to ear, and the blood spurting in every direction while a man, whose eyes were glaring with insanity, was flourishing a bloody razor over him.

The Forest ¥ires in Michigan. BAy Ciry, June 6.-—The forest fires cover a large territory, extending from Tawas to Harrisville on the lake shore and from the west many miles into the interior. The damage to standing timber and logs banked- and hung up is said fo begreat. No town on the shore or railroad is'in danger abt present, although heavy fires are reported within a mile or two of a few places. The wind is favorable to keep the fires away. Several farmers lose houses, barns, fences and ‘qrops. 'The devastation only can be stopped by copious rain.i,' ;

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia! Dyspepsial Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all' human ailments. Its symptoms are almost infinite in their wvariety, and the forlorn and despondent victims of the disease often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of every known malady. This is due, in part, to the ‘close sympathy which exists between the stomach and the brain, and in part also to the fact that any disturbance of the digestive function necessarily disorders. the iiver, the bowels and the nervous system, and effects, to some extent, the quality of the blood. e .

The Churubusco Druggist Explains, ¢ CHURUBUSCO, Ind., June 2, '77. To-the Editor of the Inter-Oceant ' DEAR Sir: Having noti¢bd in your issue of the 25th of May an.item giving'an account of mistake made by a druggist in>selling morphine instead of guinine, and being the only drugigist in our place, would like, with your permission, to give a correct statement of the sad affair. oo - The morphine was sold for mor\ phine in quantity of twelve grains, last September, to a family for the purpose of rélieving a severe pain in the stomach, for which two doses were given. During last winter the father of the unfortunate child borrowed a part of this same morphine and gave a dose to a child at that time sick, and laid the remaining:portion' by ,until Sunday morning, the 20th ult.; when the remainder was given by the mother to a child 18 months old (it, the morphine, having become mixed up among some powders of quinine), but.in spite of the best endeavors and skill .of the attending physician, Dr. Magers, the child died in about seven hours after taking the fatal dose. Knowing the many fatal mistakes made by incompetent apothecaries, I do not think your ecriticisms in yeur editorials are at all inappropriate. For certainly the pharmagist occupies even a more responsible position than the physician, issding, as he does, that which may ruin or blast the happiness of every family in his vicinity. ' ' : Were it not that the sad event has been so widely spread throughout the country by the daily papers I would not trouble you with this. It first originated from that minute and detestable slander-slinging sheet, the Fort Wayne Daily News, the editors of which are called upon almost daily for a retraction or an apology for their eager credulity in sensational items involving the reputation of the citizens of Fort:Wayne and vicinity. I have long since thought that editors, as well as druggists, should be men of a high order of sobriety, morals and diligence in hunting for the truth, for surely a retraction or an apology is not the balm that heals the wounded reputation and character which has probably taken years of incessant toil to build us. “Evil to him' who evil thinks” should be inscribed over the threshhold of every editorial sanctum.. = Hoping I have not been too lengthy, and that you ,will give -publicity to this, I remain youss, truly, - : ; JOHN A. RicH.

KArs, or Kers, which comes into prominence in the war dispateches, is the citadel of the Turkish military power in Asia. It stands upon the river Kers, in the north-eastern portion of Armenia, midway between Mount Ararat and the Blaek Sea, and upon the road between Tiflis and Ezeroum, the capital of Armenia and the cenfre of traffic between Aurkey and nortrthern Persia. It is a very strong fortress, both naturally and artifically, and is mounted with hundred pound Krupp guns and otherwise provided . against attack. It is the scene of the memorable defense of Sir Fenwick Williams. Kars can hardly be taken except by siege, but its possession is necessary to the occupation of (Armenia. The Russians may, however, confine their present operations to Trebitzond, on the coast across the Antitaurus mountains.— Of this district the capital Trebizond, Rizeh and Batoum are the three prin‘cipal seaports, and it is for: the posgession of the eastermost of these, Batoum, that the first battle of 'the war appears to have been fought.

Card Playing in a Greek Church. The Russian clex;gy of the Greek Church must lead free and easy lives, according to English accounts. 'ln a new book, called “Sketches of Russian Life,” there is the following amusing anecdotes: .. o

i “All but the tall priest then threw their cards on the table, and rose, saying, ‘A fresh deal after church service (It was Sunday morning.) - “‘No, no,” he said ‘keep your hand, partner; I shall keep mine, -it is a good .one —and we shall play the game after our return. Here, Vassili, give me a towel—wet. That will do. Now my robes—there, that. comb. And now. go every one to your post.” - “Thus saying, he proceeded with a firm step to the church by a private entrance. 3

~+“As he left the room I sat him place his good hand of cards ithin his sacred robes, under the inside fastening. He was evidently determined not to lose sight of:his trumps and carried them off on his iperson into the church. I ran round to the front entrance, and was just in time to witness the commencement of the service. It is a wonder judgment did not fall on the Chief Priest; and.it did in a way. At one.pdrt of the service, just as he' was Stepping on the platform, he put his hand inside his robe to pull out his handkerchief; and as he drew it out the cards came also unbidden, and fell scattered over the altar floor. This would have paralyzed any ordinary man, but the priest never moved for a moment. He looked cooly at the cards, then steadily at the peopleias much as t(} say: ‘Youall see that—take notice 0 it; L shall tell you about it by and by! He then continued the services. At the close he pointed to the cards, then Dbeckoned a little peasant boy, with a short shirt, of coarse linen and-tx}ous-ers to match, not very clean, whoj had been- crossing beside a poor peasant woman, his mother. “Come here.” The boy went. . -

Turning to the congregation, he said; “I shall give you a lesson you will not forget for some time. . You see lhese cards Iyirkg on the floor? Do you think I put them' there for nothing? We shall see. What is your name, my boy ?” . ‘; “Peter Petrovitch.” “Well, Peter Petrovitch, go and pick up one of those cards you see on the floor, and bring it to me. - There, that will do. Now tell me. Peter Petrovitch, what card is thig?” = = “The ace of spades,” said the boy, with ready knowledge. i “Very good, Peter Petrovitch; bring me another. . What eard is that ?” - “The queen of spades,” said Peter. “How well you know them, Peter! Bring me another. And what may that be?” - : , ' *~ “The ten of hearts.” : “That will do, Peter, the son of Peter.i. Now turn round and look -at this picture. Can you tell me' what saint it represents ?” The boy scratched his head, then shrugged. his little shoulders, \lifting them up to' his ears, then scratched his head again and said: \ “I know not.” : ! - ““Now look at this one; who is this?” The same answer. : v *And this¢” « || . : “I can not tell.” ; : “That will do, Peter, the son of Peter; you may go to your mother.” Turning to the.people he %ntinued: “Do you know now for what purpose I put these cards on the floor? Do you not think shame of yourselves? Tell me, say, is it not disgraceful and scandalous that the nice white-haired Little boy can tell me in a moment the name of every card in the pack, and he does not know the name of one of the blessed saints? O shame, shame on ye, 80 to bring up the young after all the good teaching I have,given ye! Go away and learn the lesson I have given you this blessed day.] Don’t forget it, and force me to bring cards into this tholy place again. - Vassil, put the other cards up,-and keep them for me.” : R

“So, with solemn step he left the church, to play out his interrupted game.” s ied How 10 Avoid Drunkenness. It you would keep from drinking so. great a quantity of ardent spirits, eat. Eat more. Eat nutritious food. Eat something whenever you take a drink. The drunk in all cases comes from the ;stomach full of whisky and no food. There is a'simple lesson yet to be learned by many, agd that is they do not eat enough of real blood, bone, nerve and tissue-making food. You may. half starve to death on salt fish, potatoes, cabbage, turnips, fried liver, stewed kidney, and a score. of other dishes which please the taste, but add little to the body force. Eggs, the best of steak, mutton and bread, are what one requires for strength.— It is this- unconscious, half-starved condition which causes so much of the craving for a temporary increase of strength, and that is the quickest gained through ‘a glass of whisky.— That gives for a few moments a spas-' modic impulse to the wheels of life, sending them whizzing and spinning arourd, for a ‘few moments; then, comes the reaction, and they turn more sluggishly than ever. /The best spirits in the world reside in good blood, the worst in bad. It is that which sends false imaginations, suspicious despondencies to the brain. *

Regular Secretion Essential to Health. ; The regular secretion and flow of the gastric juices, and of the bile which the use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters promotes;are effects which conduce materially to the restoration of health, when the system is disordered. Food-1s not digested in thé dyspeptic stomach because the gastric fluid is deficient,superabundant or vitiated ;— the liver becomes congested and the bowels constipated because the supply of the bileis inadequate or misdirected. The Bitters I‘gefﬁ;iﬁes all. this,and removes every ill consequence iof non-zssimilation and bilious irregularity. Furthermore. it stimulates the action of the kidneys, by which impurities are, so to speak, strained from the blood, and any tendeuncy in the urinary organs to grow sluggish and disordered counteracted. Whether it be used as a means of regulating gastric or bgious secretion, and relieving the overloaded bowels, or to promote complete, and therefore healthful, urination, Hostetter’s Bitters may be relied npon with confidence to accomplish. the end '_itr; view. ! ‘ T-4w.

WARsAw, June 7.—~The second and last day of the reanion of old soldiers of the Tenth Indiana District has been one long to be remembered by the people of Warsaw and Northern’ Indiana. At an early hour this city' was crowded to the utmost extent. Excursion trains arrived, loaded with | passengers, and thousands came in. from the surrounding country on foot' and horseback, and in vehicles, many bearing flags. and patriotic deviees. A close estu;gace places the number of strangers in the city to-day at twelve th_‘ods‘a%‘ G The day opened with a salute, fired by the Vanwert(Ohio) battery, commanded by Capt,: F. F. Gaskill. The competitive drill for one hundred dollars in gold was participated in by the Logansport Grays, Warsaw Juvenile Drum Corps ‘and :Lake City Cadets. The Logdnsport boys won the prize. “About six hundred veterans regisgered at headquarters up to noon to-. ay. :

: Hotel Napkins. {From the Goshen Times.) | . -Science has recently assigned a reason \why hotel napkins wear out iso rapidly. They are said not to liye out half their days—that they rot and go to rags in a very short time. ‘And this premature decay is caused thus: Instead of washing the said napkins in soap and water'every time after they ‘are used, the manner of proceeding is simply to sprinkle a little lime-water on them—perhaps with a view of correcting any.smell of victpals there may be about them—and then they are ironed, ‘and served again. The lime will be precipitated and will in-. sinuate itself between the fibers of the linen, and cut them, and thus.the napkins will ge to pieces. We rejoice that they go to pieces from such treat‘ment, and ‘we would rejoice still more if- they would go to pieces after the first application of lime-water. We don’t like to use a napkin that somebody else has used before us, without having been washed before it is assigned to us. To say that this is a dirty practice, is to say the least of it, and when we say that the ' barber’s itch and other infectious diseases are easily communicated By such economy on the. part of the: landlord, ‘we are saying what is within the bounds of reason and truth. We always patronize -hotels that have clean,white napkins. We avoid those'that have colored napkins. Colored napkins. don’t’ show dirt, and that is the i},reason we don’t like them We recently stopped at a hotel within a hundred miles of Goshen, that had celored napkins; and we noticed that when a guest arose from the. table, the careful waiter took the napkin that had been used, neatly folded it, and stuck it in a tumbler for the next guest, We mean never to eat again at that hotel if we can help it. We think that a hotel that is unclean in this one thing, is unclean also in other things—in beds; for instance, which are likewise a frequent breeding nest for “catching” maladies. i . - Hotel keepers had better look out, now that science is after them. : »Early‘Blsl‘ng. . A young farmer found he was getting- reduced in circumstances. He went| toj a friend to ask his advice. His friend, with a grave face, said: “I know of a charm that will cure that; take this little cup and drink from it every morning of the water you must get at such a spring. But: remember, you must draw it yourself at five o’clock, or the charm will be broken.” Next morning the farmer walked across his fields, for the spring was on the other side of his estate—and spying a neighbor’s cows, which had broken through the fence and. were feeding on his pasture, he drove them out and mended the fence. The laborers were not yet at work. When they came loitering along after their proper, time they were startled at seeing ' their master so early. "“Oh,” said he, “I see how it is; it comes of .y not getting up in time.” The early rising soon became a pleasant habit; his walk and cup of waterigave him an appetite for his breakfast; and the peopleé were, like him, early at work.; "He soon acknowledged that the advice his friend had given him was as good as it was simple. -

‘Sixteen Children Burned to Death : in Norway. ' . The Norwegian papers of alate date ‘bring us the details of a terrible calamity which oceurred not long since in the Norwegian village of-ENingso, ‘near the town of Alesund. It appears that the school-master had called ‘the children of the village together with the object of examining them, using for this purpose the second floor of a large, unfinished log house, to which access was gained through a window by means -of a ladder, the staircase not being finished. ‘ Twenty children ' had assembled, and the -examination was mnearly COEcludEd,! when the i school-master o served volumes 'of smoke peuetrating into the room, di‘rectly followed by flames, enveloping in a moment in fire. Rushing to'the window, the master observed to his terror thatthe ladder had disappeared, thus cutting off the only meansiof escape. “Seizinga couple of the children, he threw them :out: of the“wingw; but blind, suffocating, and scorched, he was unable to get hold of any more, jand jumyped hiﬁ;self through the winldow, breaking dne leg in the fall.” All the men in the village were out fish'ing, and the women away, thus ng assistance was possible, and the poor children were left to their terrible fate. Only four of the whole number escaped—more or less 'burned or bruised—while sixteen perished, the floor giving suddenly away. The origin of the fire is unknown. The horror, dismay, and misery of the parents when, on their return, they found the charred remains of their chjldren,. may be more easily understood than deseribed. A government inquiry, will be instituted.

Hard Times—A Consolation. ; (Cambridge City Tribune.) The hard times, though much complained of,’are nevertheless fraught with much good for the country. Excess is produced by excess, and when, times are good and money plenty a great many things which are not nec-« essary to.our well being are indulged in. “Come easy, go easy” is an old says’ ing containing more truth than poetry. Under flush times men become reckless and extravagant, but when times change and imen begin to realize the stern demands of economy from necessity they economize by dispensing with unnecessary luxuries, the most oft which are productive of physical and moral evil because they are unnecessary. 'The practice of drinking is found by all to be unnecessary, and if it is indulged in is at a sacrifice of some real wants. . Hence it is that the hard times have been anp are yet among the greatest allies of the great temperance movement now sweeping the country. Men,from necessity, are driven to reason and from absence of intoxicants they are in possession of clear heads with which to reason and, consequently, arrive at correct conclusions. This is'the most that any man needs in order to reform himself and to aid in the reform of his friends and assoeiates. ! ! !
