To the Editor Of The Worcester Dahl Spy:
In the Items" of your paper of Feb IL,
notice the death of two ballet girls at theaters
in England The bare thought of perishing by
fire is sufficiently agonizing, but when nothing
is apparently done to prevent recurrence, it
makes the contemplation of the future even
more terrible 1would then suggest simple
and certain remedy complete safeguard
against any more such event, whether in this
country or any other on the face of the globe.
My preventive is, to make cast iron frame,
extending the whole width of the foot-lights,
and several inches higher than the lights In
said frame place the very thickest plate glass
Such plan would not hide the lights in the
slightest manner, would be perfectly safe to
the performers, and, if needed, a groove NAV
be cut In the floor in such a manner that the
glass and frame could be raised or lowered, as
may be required. 1t, of course, will cost some
thing, but one human life is worth the value of
all the plate glass in the civilized world. If
this is worth anything, publish it to the world,
and bid ''other papers copy" / would also
suggest that in all theaters there should be
constantly kept hung up on each side of the
scenery at least one half dozen large blankets
so that parties on either side of the building
could seize the first one and throw it over the
sufferer without delay. In conclusion, let me
say, emphatically, adopt the plate glass, and
you will have TO record no more deaths by
foot-lights your occupation under that head
twill be gone" Very respectfully, sA

daily in the market. There is, just now, con-

A Boy HERo.-A few days since, two boys,
named John Reddy, aged II years, son of
Michael Reddy, and Matthew Cuddy, aged 9
years, the son of poor widow, were coastng
down hill and on to the Bernon pond. Reddy
was on a sled in advance, and as he reached
the pond, he found the ice bending and break
ing beneath him, and called to his companion
to stop; but before this could be done, the
Cuddy boy found himself immersed in water
ten feet deep, and Reddy in the same predica-
ment Reddy could swim, and at once com
menced to assist his less fortunate associate
He pushed him before him for ten minutes the
weak ice breaking before their attempts to get

the two made their escape, badly chilled, and
not little frightened. All honor to the noble
boy who did not desert his companion in this
perilous emergency Woonsocket Patriot.
