article of Cooking Stoves of the first
class,which we believe from what exper-
fence we have had, to be of the best kind

There is another important item about

Is an item of consideration in this prairie

IERF IBI.E ACCIDENT.-We are indebt-
ed 20 NJ. Rowland for the following par
ticulars, of a most painful and fatal oc-
currenre, which took place in the town
of Som ers, on Monday evening the 18th
inst. Mrs. Day, wife ofDavid Day, had
put her two children to bed in the eve
ming, hstle boy some twoyears old, and
and an infant some five months. The
children were both asleep, and having
occasion to step into neigh boris house,
q few rods distant, she left them, Mr..
Day having gone TO the same neighbor' 5
, a little while before Mrs Day, contrary
to her intention sat down a few minutes,
when her husband started to go home.
and saw his house apparently on fire.
He gave the alarm and in moment he
was at home, where ne found his little
son ut the window trying to get out, his
clothes on fire and nearly burnt off him.
He had broken out two or three lights of
glass. The bed was all in flames. BY
the exertionS ofthe ueighbors who had
at once assembled, the flames were at
once extinguished, and the infant reseu-
c,' from the burningbed. TheE!tle boy
va awfully burnt, and lived in great
agony until Wednesday evening when
death relieved him of his suferings.
Strange sitmay seem theyounger child
was hardly. scorched a. all, though she
was near' y smothcrcl, and it took some
minutes to resuscitatc her. She was
closely wrapped in flannel blanket
which probably saved her life. The
bed-c lothes were almost entirely CON
sum, d. 1t is supposed that a spark from
Inc stove set the bed on fire, though it
Is net known how the accident origlna-
ted.

business than the City Bank ofKenosha.
There is but one Bank out of Milwaukee
that shows a greater amount of Loans

the confidence reposed by the public, in

The Flood at Albany.

The winter which has been of UMPIRE
eedented severity, accumulating very
large body Of snow, softened 10 a general
thaw about the 9Th or 9th inst, and a
great freshet was the result. We have
received accounts from almost the entire
country to this effect. Railroads have
been washed away, bridges carried of,
and travel interrupted. We learn that
much injury has been done by the fresh
cts in Illinois and Ohio. The Mississippi
river it appears is not behind other
streams, having risen at St. Louis IS
feet from Saturday to Monday morning.
But all other accounts are tame in
comparison with the late food at Albany,
\. l., an account Of which we gather
from the New York papers. Below we
give a part Of the doings of the food:
TIE HOTELS INUNDATED.
The guests in all the hotelsin and below
Broadway were badly OF this morning.
The kitchens Of the Mansion, Stanwix
and Delevan were inundated; while the
commercial dining room as well as kitch-
en- was inaccessible. The result was
that the guests of each were breakfast
less ; while those at the Stanwix Hall
and Commercial could only get to terra
fiTna By means Of RATS and boats.
The ice was piled up fifteen feet higF
upon the docks in the lumber district
thus preventing the lumber from being
carried of, and saving the dealers thou.
sands Of dollars. The dealers report but
little if any loss. On Sunday, many o
the merchants in the lower part of Ii,
/ city removed the goods from their cellar,
to the upper stories, but the labor wa.
mostly useless, so high did the waite,
rise.
Boats have been plying all the morn
ing through Quay, Dean, Water, lowe

a Knock Down Argument.

The Burlington Free Press, after wa
ding through column after column to
prove that the State House should not be
rebuilt at Montpelier, at last brings its
batteries to a focus, and possibly mag
ines that this last reason and 4" last resort,
must sweep the field. Il gives the fol-
lowing as "why" it should be located
at Burlington. 1t says of Montpelier;
"She lives in open and defiant viola
ton of one of the main laws of the State,
without the slightest attempt to enforce
it by her officers"
Wonderful but it is not strange
Burlington is a wonderful place, and her
people a wonderful people! Butwemust
be allowed to : file plea in offset to the
above. Has Father Benedict ever read
the Compiled Statutes? Ifnot, we wish
to refer him TO Sec. 10, on page SCI,
which reads as follows
every person, who shall keep a house
of i'll fame, resorted TO for the purpose OF
prostitution or lewdness, shall be punished
by Imprisonment in the state prison, not
exceeding four years, or in the common
jail not more than two years, or by fine
not exceeding three hundred dollars.
People wholive in glass houses should
not throw stones" Before you twit
Montpelier of bad morals, just renoTate
. SINNERS Lane" which is in convenient
! proximity to the Free Press Office, and
/ then It need not dread the execution Of
section 10 on its very moral town.
