William NesoA, reSsafly destroyed BY FIRE at
sea. In the conA6aton Incident to the efforts
10 save life, the hnsbaad and wife were sepa-
rated. The husband was picked up BY one
Of the ships bo6ts, which was soon hiien "a
With thpehrig Mercury. The wife, young and
encieNte, was not discouraged at the uncer-
tainty Of her hnsbaad's fate, bat prepared Ses
her own safety. Self preservation could not
suppress her womanly instincts 30 Ear as to
ignore the feeble cries for help from an infant
only fourteen days old, left to perish by its
distracted parentS, but regardless of hes own
state, she plunged, with her self-imposed
charge, into the Sea. For two whole days did
this brave young girl support herself and the
infant on the remnant Of ships spar, With.
out food or water, sustaining the infant life
by the moisture from her oscn mouth 'sgtui
Late on the second day the same vessel in
which her husband was saved, having ceased
curising, without hope Of rescuing more life,
fell in with this heroine, and saved her AID
her little charge. Eventually the family we're
landed ct Havre, Frances The Prussian Con
sui took charge Of the infant, a. it's parents
were supposed to have been lost with the
wreck. sA Ass a9x
Many ladies' at Havre interested themselves
to enable this brave young creature, with her
husband, again to venture to cross the At
lantic in search Of Western home. Desti-
tute of everything necessary as an outfit, hav:
ing lost an, the kindness Of the ladies' at
Havre was doubtless most acceptable, and on
the Belona, although poverty was apparent,
} remarkable cleanliness in the family was
lutte apparent.

KEEPING CIsTEKs WATER SwEEr.-When
water in cisterns becomes foul. it is not from
any alteration In the water itself, but from the
decay or decomposition of organic mattel
held by the water in solution or suspension.
These organic impurities are generally washed
into the cistern from the roof 1t has Ions
seemed to us that the most simple and direcl
method of keeping cistern water sweet, would
be to allow the FIRST portion of every rain-fa
to run to waste till the roof was thoroughly
washed, and then to ell the cistern from
clean roof
