A FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH.

From the Grand Rapids (hich.) Enquirer of Oct 2O.
 One of the most appalling calamties that ever occurred in Kent County transpired on Tuesday night. dwelling-h house and its contents, incu- ding man, his wife and children, totally de- stroyed by fire. without any living person knowing eny thing of the matter until the next moning when the house had disappeared. The facts of the case are follows
 Hiram Robinson recently exchange1 farm in Georgetown, Ottawa County. for farm in Gaines, c ght miles from this city, on the Kalamazoo plank road. Monday and Tuesday. Robinson engaged in removing his family and goods. The neighbors saw nothing of him after nightfall.
 It is supposed that he and his wife retired early account of the very fatiguing labors of the day From the evening of Tuesday to the morning of Wednesday, everything remains an impenetrable mystery. Probably the buildings caught fire from the stoyepipe, and the tenements were of boards 1t was soon in blaze.
 Owing to fatigue, Mir. Robinson and his family were probably not awakened until too late to es- cape. That they attempted. to escape is shown from the fact that the bodies of both man and wife were found lying partially beyond the door-sill of the house, and the youngest child, nfsnt outside of the location of the house.
 It Is believed that when they ascertained their danger they rushed to the door and forced it open, hut that. in so doing, some of the upper heavy burning tmbers fell upon and cast the pair to the ground. covering the entire family with horrible, inextricable bath of fire, and destroying life

How to Preserve Cider.

As this is the season Of the year when far
mers and others are munufictu uring cider, |
think you can in no way do a moro accept
able service to numerous class Of Your read
crs than by publishing the following method
of arresting the vinous and acetic fermenta-
tions in this beverage at pleasure, and pre-
serving it permanently sweet and unchang-
cd
rels and allow it to ferment from one to
three weeks, according as the weather is cool
or warm. When it has attained to lively
lerm antation, add to each gallon three
lourths OF Il pound of white sugar, and let
the whole ferment again until it possesses
nearly the brisk pleasant taste which it is
desirable should be permanent. Pour out a
quart Of the cider and mix with it one quar-
ter of an ounce of sulphit, of lime for every
gallon the casil contains. Stir until it is ul-
timatcly mixed. and pour the emulsion into
the liquid. A5itate the contents Of the cask
thoroughly for few moments. then let 1t
rest. that the cider may settle. Fermenta-
ton will h; arrested at once, and will not
n' reslu H. 1t m.,f b. b1ttl'l in the course
oja few weeks, or it may he allowed to re-
mtn in the casi ami used on draft II bot
rid, it VII become a sparkling eler-bet
ter than what is called champagne wine.
Professor EIorslorI Of Cambridge was the
first to use tae sulphite of lime for this pur-
pose, and to him is due the credit of first
calling attention to its usefulness. 1t is in
no respect deletnrious. as the sulphate, into
which the sulphite is changed by the liher
alton of sulphurons acid, is entirely lnsolu-
bic, and remains at the bottom Of the yos-
sci.
The writer has cider prepared in this way
two years since, which has remained un-
changed, and is now beverage of unsnrplss-
ed excellence. The s'Aphite of lime, not the
sulpha,e. must be used. [Boston Journal.

The Empire of Turkey is evidently in
the last stages of dissolution. So fee
bic has become the Sultan's govern.
mcnt. that high-handcd outrages 90
unpunished unless some foreign power
interfercs. The English have lately
been compelled to lombard Jeddah, as
chastisement for massacre of Christians,
because port is powerlcss to restrain
its fanatical Mussuman subjects; and it
required the prompt and decided inter-
ventior Of the American Minister TO Sc
cure the arrest Of the perpetrators of
the outrages on the American Mission
aries at Taffna, while our government
deems it necessary to dispatch man-of-
war to the spot to see that justice is rem
dered. But worse than all this for the
Turks, for in it is to be found the cause
Of this executive ineficivncy, is the cor
ru2tion which prevails among the great
officers of the Sultan, and throughout
his entire court. Nenality, extravaganza
and treacherv have reached such pitch
that the Sultan's efforts at reform are
unheeled by his officers of State. A
government that is thwartcd by its own
officials and defcd by its own subjects,
cannot long hold the rcins of power; ami
the Turk lsh government being now in
that degraded position, with no prospect
of future amendment, must eventually
sec the shadow of power which it pos.
se.ses transferred to the hands of those
who now possess the substance.
We do not see how the Ottoman En-
pire can much longer be preserved in
tact, if all the reports which reach us
are true. Dependant as it is upon the
suiierance of three European sovereigns
for existence. and unable or unwilling to
learn the lessons of civilization enforced
upon it by its protectors, will they much
longer bolster up the "Sick man" and
fight his battles for him: Viii they not
rather count the cost. and although each
one wants the lion 5 share, conclude that
it will be much more remunerative plan
to re-enact scene in the history of Po
land, and divide the sick mans effects
among themselves ? We think the chan
ccs are in favor of this solution of the
Turkish question - Boston Journal.
