FIRE.-A sad casualty occurred in
Cass county one day last week. The
prairie caught fire near the farm of
Mr.. Vim. Jackson, and threatened the
destruction of his house and fences
In his eagerness to save his house. Mr..
Jackson had moved his family and
furniture oat of it, and was endeavor-
ing to subdue the flames. While thus
engaged, forgetting for the time all
things else, his Oldest daughter, a girl
of or 8 year old, got separated from
the rest Of the family, and was caught
in the FIRE and burned to death. Nh.
y. LOST everything but his house, poor
consolation for the cost to save it.

LOOK OUT FOR HM,-For the benefit of
the Publishers, and also the public, we pub
lish the following Notice from LEONARD ScoTT
& Co., Publishers of BlackwOOd's Magazine,
and the Westminster, Edinburgh, London
Quarterly and North British Reviews.
Win our Editorial friends caution their rea-
ders against a man, pretending to be a deaf
mute, and forging our name to printed subscrip-
ton bills, got up by himself, expressly to
cheat the public? We have no deaf mute in
our employ. We have heard from this mans
victims chiefly in the Western States, but he
will doubtless go wherever he can be most
successful in his villany. We therefore wish
to check and expose him simultaneously, and
hence this request from Editors with whom
we exchange. 1t is not for our benefit, but
for that Of the public that we ask the favor,
for we learn that this scamp is doing a large
business with other Publications, as well as
our own. He has, in one instance, given the
name Of sBRoDERIcK," but all the receipts we
have seen are boldly signed LEoNARD SCOTT
& Co.. without even an assumed name as
agent. Please pass him round.
L. S. & Go.
P. S.--0ne of his victims, writing from
Illinois, describes him as "short thick set,
black hair, salIow complexion, German cast Of
countepance, wore spectacles with steel rims,
limped considerably, and was well dressed"
His deafness, &C., is probably feigned.

SONG OF THE ANGEL CHILD,
By HANK.

/ was wandering in the Forest
In the forest all alone,
Plueking flowers in my pathway
Just the sweetest ever known;
When L heard from out the wildwood,
Strains Of beauty dulcet strains,
Which though many years havevanished
Ny memory still retains.
Twas as If anangel wandered,
Wandered from its home on high,
Where the flowers do not wither
And the beautiful ne'er die
And forgetting man were nearis
With its bosom full Of bliss,
Sang q. song composed in heaven,
In so dark q world as this.
As / listened to the music,
Music sweet as ever fell
Pom the ear of human being
Fit a demons rage to quell;
lust the sweetest little creature
That Jehovah ever made,
Stepped out 'mong the thickets
And ran by me half afraid.
From that moment to the present,
To the present full of care,
l have loved the world more dearly
Since such beings wander here.
/ have read of angels anthems,
Till my heart with JOY grew wild,
But twas discord to the voice
OF that little angel child.

And it shook him-shook him sorely,
Shook his boots off and his to~e-nails,
Shook his teeth out and his hair of,
Shook his coat all into ~tatterz,

Shirtless, ~coatless, hairless, t~oothless,
Minus boots and minus toe -nails;
Still it shook him till it
Made him yellow, gaunt and bony.
