DEATH By THE LAMP.-Hore is one Of those
items We meet with every day in our exchanges: !:
Last evening . lady in Harwich, Mass put
her two little daughters (aged and years. to
bed, and left small coal oil lamp burning in the
chamber, and then went out to make some pur-
chases at store near by. While she was out the
dwelling took fire frsm the explosion of the lamp,
and both children perished The mother became
rsving maniac.
ANOTHER CAsE.-At the residence Of Charles
Hook, in this city, the other evening, the child

play, in the midst Of which coal oil lamp was

there was no .xplosion, illumination, or bad re.

was extraordinarily as explosive as gun cotton;
in the latter case, the lamp was filled with Page

Tho City Loan.

The writer has bsen frequently asked il hs
would vote for the loan on next Tuesday? The
answer 10, most certainly. The debt has been
made and must be liquidated The honor and
credit st the city must not suffer on account OF
the injudicious management Of its servants.
That the debt vas made for unnecessary pur.
poses, will not excuse any citizen from refusing
10 pay it-whioh every man will do who votes
against the loan. The will Of the majority 10
binding upon all. 1t was that will which chose
the men who made the indebtedness; therefore,
it 10 - much the bounden duty of every citizen
TO ses that the debt il honorably discharged a
il it we're Of his own making. Besides, the rep
rssentatives of the people are no more response

The mismsusgemsnt of the business pertaining

frages Of the people that they can obtain the Of

to discharge tho duties devolving upon them
with greater ability than they possess. IT, there
fore, the people desire faithful, trustworthy and
competent servants, they must employ men pos.

THE DISCOVERY OF THE GREAT WEST. BY
Francis PARxNAN, author Of "pionesrs OF France
in the New World" and 1.-The Jesuits in North
America" Boston: Little, Brown Co. Chi.
cago: Western News Company. 1868. D7
Francis Psrkman is among the youngest Of
American authors, yet his histories already rank
with tho writings Of Bancroft, Irving and Motley.
While few historians are more painstsking and
accurate, his style is very brilliant aud pictur-
esque and some Of his descriptions OF scenes arc
the perfection of word.painting.
The work now under notice is mainly devoted
to the adventurous La Sale, and thus appeals to
NJ with more than usual interest, - 20 many Of
the events traaspirsd almost in our immediate
vicinity. Incidental to the history Of La Sale,
We have also brilliant sketch Of his great rival,
Louis Joliet ~ also sketches of Marquette, Louis
Andre, Claude Allouez, Count Frontsnsc, Henri
do Tonti, La Sslle's great Lieutenant, Father
Hsnnspin, and many others Of those sturdy Cd.
venturers whose names ar, perpstuated in our
local nomenclature
Our limited space Of course will not permit u
to follow the graphic narrative Of the adventures
of La Sale and his numerous companions and
rivals; of the numerous hairbreadth escapes, the
ieslousiss, rivslries, and Thousands Of romantic
incidents at every turn; nor have We room for
sxtracts It only remains to say, that the book
is ono Of which every American may we'll be
proud, and also which, among western men at
least, not to have read, will soon bs regarded ~
proof Of want Of ordinary literary taste and
culture.
