THREE BOYS DROwNED-While number oi
persons were skating on pond in this city, this
afternoon, the ice broke, and three boys were
drowned. t ie3
SO reads telegram from Philadelphia. There
is very little water around Ottawa, upon which
the boys usually go skating, that is not too deep
for safety. Now that We have skating park,
the better plan certainly is for all to procure
season tickets and do their skating there The

Fire {!

Fire .ae
About four o'clock on Sunday morning, Mr.
Seth Freeman, who sleeps near by, discovered
that the inside of one of the store rooms in
Woods block was on fire. The room had been
rented few weeks ago by Mr.. Fl. H. Bryant, Of
Chicago, and was occupied by stock of dry
goods which he was selling off at auction. The
room being securely locked, the only ingress was
obtained by going through an adjoining cellar.
Happily there was well in the cellar under the
room on fire, and by vigorous application of the
water there obtained, three or four persons sue
ceeded in putting out the fire before the engines
got to tho ground. The fire had apparently
commenced in box of old papers and rubbish
under stairs leading to the second story. The
stove, on gaining entrance, was found to be red
hot and full of coal, with loose papers lying all
around the room. The goods in the store at
the time of the fire were not seriously injured,
but the shelving, paint, &C., is SO badly charred
and discolored as to be about ruined
There is certainly ground for strong suspicion
that the fire was not altogether the result Of &C
cident
ANOTHER FIRE.-About one o'clock on Sun.
day a tenant house on the property Of Mr.. Cush-
man, east of Fox River was discovered to be ON
fire. The house was occupied at the time by
Mr.. Cassidy and family. Mr.. c. himself and
wife were at church at the time, but there were
two men local diggers) at home with the children.
The men say the fire commenced near stone
pipe up stairs, and could have been put out had
there been sufficient water on the premises; but
both we'll and cistern being dry, the family has
been dependent on hauling water from the river
Besides the house, rough stable and two large
stacks of hay were destroyed. The engines were
promptly on hand, but came too late to be Of
| service.

.LAMERTINEs OPINION OF WOMEN

IAMEkIINE'Sa OPINION OF, WOMEN.
=. Woman, with weaker passions than man, is
superior to him in soul The Gauls attributed
to her an additional sense, the divine sense. = :;
They were right. Nature has given women
J two painful Heavenly gifts which distinguish
them, and often raise them above human ma
com passion and enthusiasm. By COM
passion they devote themselves; by enthusiasm
they exalt themselves. II What more does hero
ism require They have more heart and. more
imagination than men. Enthusiasm from i'm
aagination, and self sacrifice from the heart. -
Women are, therefore, more naturally heroic
than men. All nations have in their annals
some Of those miracles of patriotism Of which
woman is the instrument in the hands of God.
When all is desperate in a national cause we
need not despair while there remains a spark
OF resistance in a woman S heart, whether she is
called Judith, Celia, Joan Of Arc, Victoria Co.
onna in Italy or Charlotte Corday, who sacrificed
themselves; but the sacrifice did not reeoil at
crime. Their aspiration was heroic, but their
heroisn mistook its aim; it took the poignard Of
the assassin instead OF the sword of the hero. ~
Joan of Arc used only the sword Of defence;
She was not merely inspired by heroism;. she
was inspired by God. 81.
