From DEATH TO LIFE.-A few days
since, little son of Mr. Bean, who
resides near this city, after severe
illness, died. Two young ladies and
a servant volunteered to keep watch
during the night. At about II o
clock the servant was noticed to be
asleep, when one of the young ladies
pricked hcI with pin. which caused
her to suddenly jump and scream -
This aroused the supposed dead child,
alarming the inma.es Of the room
greatly. Upon examination it was
found that the child was growing
warm, and in short time it was ran.

sons killed and eight injured.
Taking into account the immense
amount Of travel on these roads, the
number OF accidents to life is remark
ably small. The Northwestern road
has l,65 miles in operation. The
total number of passengers for the
year 1866 was 1,461, Jag. Of which
number, aside from employers, not

S. G. GRIGGs & Co.-The Chicago
papers state that the most general
regret is expressed at the destruction
Of the great bookstore of S. G. Griggs
d Co.-the most extensive establish
ment of the kind west Of New York,
and which has been one of the prides
and glories of Chicago. Their stock,
which was valued at about 5000, 900,
was entirely destroyed. Among the
stock were many rare and valuable
works, which cannot, in some in
stances, be replaced They were
pretty well insured. Many business
men and capitalists of Chicago have
promptly offered their good offices to
the firm, and there is II general hope
that they will at an early day reor-
ganizc their establishment and re-
sumo business on the same extensive
scale whick mas characterized their
past career as supplyers ofthe demand
Of the West for first-class books
Several Of the principal Eastern pub
fishing houses have sent Messrs.
Griggs Il Go. dispatches rendering
sympathy and aid, and advancing
any amount Of stock to enable them
70 resume business. The firm for
the present have taken the second
floor of No 40 Lake Street, over
Davis, Sawyer Il Co, opposite the
old stand, where their business will
be temporarily transacted.

Roman Catholic Opinion of Calvin.

The Roman Catholics have hearty
detestation of Calvin, and coin many
stories to prejudice the masses against
him, but they admit fully his intel,
lectual strength, and his influence on
the Protestant world. The TABLET
says
1T cannot be denied Calvin was
the great man Of the Protestant res
bclion. But fer him Luther's move-
ment would, probably, have died out
with himself and associates. Calvin
organized it, gave it form and con-
sisteney, and his spirit has sustained
it to this day. If Luther preceded
him, it is still by his name, rather
than Luther's, that the rebellion
should be called, aud the only form
OF Professionalism that still shows any
signs Of life and vigor is unquestion>
ably Calvinism. 1t is Calvinism that
snstains Methodism, and other Eps>
copal orders, that gives what little
life it has to Lutheranism, and that
prevents very general return of
Anglicans to the bosom Of the Church.
1t is hardly too much to say that no
greater heresiarch than John Calvin
has ever appeared, or more daring
subtle, adroit, or successful enemy Of
the Church Of God"
