A SCHOOL BLOWN Down IN ENG
LAND-FoUR HUNDRED PERSONS BUR-
IED.-A shocking calamity occurred
at Rochdale on Sunday. The wealth.
er in that town was boisterous, and
the wind blew in fearful gusts
through the streets. In new street
off Spotland road, a row of houses
has just been completed, and two of
them are so constructed as to answer
the purposes of a Sunday School.
Mr.. Beswick, of Manchester, was the
contractor, and Mr.. Turner, of York.
shire street, and Mr.. Watts. school
master, were the owners, and had
opened the school under the sanction
of the Wesleyan body, to ascertain
if new school in that part of the
town would answer. IF not, the
building was so constructed that at
any time it could be altered into two
houses. On Sunday the place was
opened for service for the first time,
and in the afternoon Mr.. John Ash,
worth, author Of Strange Tales,
preached sermon. There were
present about 400 persons. The SER
vices began at 2:20, and shortly af-
ter one of the windows was blown
out by gust of wind. Little no.
tice was taken of it, and the service
proceeded until $3.50, when another
violent blast heaved up the roof, the
gable end fell in, and the two side
walls fell inwards, after which the
roof crashed in upon the whole A
distressing scene of confusion and
horror ensued. Some hundreds of
the unfortunate persons managed to
creep out from under the debris, but
a large number were buried beneath,
and their cries for help were piteous
to hear. Those that had escaped
and the neighbors heroically pulled
away the fallen timbers and bricks,
and gradually released the unfortu-
nate persons. The fire brigade and
Capt. Davies, with the police force,
soon appeared on the scene, and ex-
erted themselves in removing the
fallen building and iberating the in
jured persons. Miss Nuitall, Mary's>
gate milliner, for half an hour was
imprisoned by large beam on her
feet, and she displayed great forti,
tude and patience until released.
From the time the catastrophe hap
pened to the time when all were ia.
ken out, about an hour and half
elapsed. SO far as could be ascer-
taleed at the time, no person was
killed.-London Daily NeacS, Dee. 20.

Assassination BY Air-Guns.

The numerous instances of finding
men prone upon the most public
streets of the Eastern cities, injured
as by bullet, although neither the
victim nor any other person had
heard the discharge of any firearm,
so far as could be ascertained, has
caused the suggestion to be made
that air~guns have been brought into
requisition. According to the au-
t horities, this is weapon .sresem-
bling musket, for the purpose of dis
charging missiles by means OF COM
pressed air. 1t consists of lock.
stock, barrel and ramrod. The stock
is made hollow, and provided with
proper cocks for filling it with com~
pressed air by means of force pump
Each lock is nothing but a valve
which lets into the barrel portion
of the air compressed in the stock,
when the trigger is pulled. The gun
is loaded with wadding and ball, in
the ordinary way, and the air sud
denly introduced from the stock
propels it with velocity proportions
al to the square root of the degree
of the compression of the air" By
this weapon a person may be killed
at distance ofsixty or eighty yards.
Later improvements giveit propellr
ing force almost equal to the old fash
toned musket its chief advantagesto
criminals is its noiseless discharge
The victim may be singled out in a
crowd by person standing conceal
ed at an upper window, and if the
aim is accurate, perforated by bull
let, without any chances of detection
excepting those indicated by angles
and direction Indeed, the body
might fall insuch manner as to indi.
cate conditions entirely different from
those which are real. Whether or
not this theory is correct, it is evil
dent that the ingenuity of crime
keeps pace with the ingenuity of the
most approved detective methods.

AGRICULTURE IN GREECE.-A corr
respondent of German agricultural
paper, who has been travelling
through Turkey and Greece, gives,
a melancholy account of the state OF
agriculture in Greece. He says
"The Greeks have not the smallest
inclination for agricultural pursuits !:
all they think of is commerce and
speculation. The Government, too,
leaves the country without the nee
essary means of communication, and
the destruction of forests is carried
on to such an extent that the want
OF water is every year greater, and
cultivation becomes NOSE and more

HI-A fellow who has been shaved
in China says that the barber first
stropped the razor on his leg, and
then did the shaving without lather.
The customer demonstrated, but was
told that lather was entirely useless,
and had tendency to make the hair
stiff and tough and was therefore
never used by persons who had any
knowledge of the face and it's ap-
pendages After the beard had been
taken offend it was done in very
short time-the barber took a long,
sharp, needle-shaped spoon, and be-
gan TO explore his customers ears
He brought up from numerous little
crevices bits of wax and dirt that
had been accommodating since his
childhood. The barber suddenly
twisted his subjects neck to one side
in such manner that it cracked as
if the vertebr@ had been dislocated.
"Hold on" shouted the party, alarm
ed for the safety of bis neck. "All
right" replied the tonsor, "me no
hurt you J" and he continued to jerk
and twist the neck until it was lin

then fell to beating the back, breast,
arms, and sides, with his fists, and
pummelled the muscles until they
fairly glowed with the heating they
had received. He then dashed a
bucket of cold water over his man,
dried the skin with fowls, and declar-
ed that his work was done-price two

A PRovIDENTIAL EsCApE.-On the
9Th of January, 1871, seven young
pupils from the Ecole Militaire were
skating on the deep moat that ran
along by the Fort of Auxonne. As
it struck five one of the party pro.
ceeded to take off his skates. 'Don't
go-one more round !" cried his COM
panions. "No, no besides, am
hungry, and want my dinner" Af>
ter the departure of their comrade,
the rest continued to skate, when
suddenly the ice broke, and one and
all fell into the water and persisted.
The young man who so miraculously
escaped by going off few minutes
before was no other than Napoleon
Bonaparte.

The Rosin Weed Remedy for Heaves
and Asthma.

j
Mr.. Cover A short article in the
last Herald on rosin freed, reminds
me that valuable remedial qualities
have of late been asoribed to it. 1t
is said, that horses afflicted with
heaves are Immediately cured, when
allowed to feed upon it.
1t is a we'll known fact, that hor-
SEES brought from the East, having this
disease, If turned out to Craze upon
the prairie, or fed with prairie hay,
get well and repeated observation
has led to the discovery that rosin
weed is the curative agent. Having
learned this much, the natural sup
position would be, that it wonld be
useful for asthma ia man which is es>
sentially the same disease as heaves
or asthma in the horse accordingly
trial has been made of it, and it is
reported specific" in this distress
ing complaint; and although it will
take time and repeated trials to fully
establish its virtues, yet it is worth
the trial in disease SO little amena-
Bile to treatment.
The most reliable preparation is
the alcoholic fluid extract as it is
not easily powdered and deteriorates
by keeping, and the infusion is only
a partial representation of the article
employed, owing to its resinous ma
ture.
The fluid extract is prepared by
DIR. G. FL. Dadd of Chicago, who uses
it in his veterinary practice. 1t can
be obtained Of any wholesale drug
gist in Milwaukee or Chicago. The
dose is from twenty drops, to tea
spoonful for a man.

Equality of the Sexes in Dresden.

A correspondent in Dresden writes
that it is good to see the poor peo-
pie have holiday-they work so hard
and SO constantly, with little rest on
Sundays. The women, especially,
toll like beasts of burden hard phys
zeal labor falls very largely to their
share. You see them in the streets
saving wood, one holding each end
Of the saw tug along with loaded
handcarts, employed for draught al
most as commonly as horses-much
more SO than men. They carry huge
baskets on their backs, under which
they must bend far forward. Such
figures are among the commonest
you meet. In doing coarse, rough
work, even such as seems to demand
simply muscular strength, there is no
difference whatever in their favor,
unless it be az weeker animal. And
it is not only in the lower classes that
one notices this want of regard for
woman. Of a couple whom you meet
on the street, even if well dressed
and respectable, the woman is pretty
sure to be carrying the baby or the
bundles. AS for turning out on the
sidewalk for woman, no man thinks
of it An American walking with a
lady is constantly provoked at the
rude.way in which she is jostle9 by
men, not the rough and poorly dress.
ed alone. He win be likely to jostle
pretty sharpely himself now and
then, as practical hint to those who
need it. A German in like circum-
stances goes composedly along, LETT
ting his weaker and burdened COM
panion stem the tide as best she can.

THE RIGHT WAY.-The Rev. Ma
thaniel Howe, of Hopkinton, ISL
1887, sometimes INDUCED his taste
for saying sharp things in way
which made it equally impossible for
his audience to forget what he said,
and to keep their faces straight while
he said it. In his ordinary prayer at
the settlement of Rev. e. Smalley, at
Franklin, he said: 20 Lord help thy
young servant to put down the Meth.
odists, and the Baptists, and the TN.
iversalists, By preaching better, and
praying better, and living better than
theV!"

sayIt has lately been discovered

sG-I 1t has lately been discovered
that the great plains of Colorado
overlie vast coal bed, also numer>
GUS beds of iron. Some these large
beds of coal have lately been to be
on fire, and to such an extent as to
warm up the earth for several miles
around. The sections of country
most explored lie between the head,
waters of the Republican and Platte
rivers, in Colorado. Enough is
known in regard to this statement to
to satisfy scientific men that IL is
true, and also consistent with the
character of that country. Examina

soon lead to interesting developments

The WHEAT PRosPEcT.-Every-
where the word is that the wheat
never looked better at this time of
year. Travelling agents in all sec
tions of the country concur in this
pleasing report. 1t will be worth
the consideration of every farmer
who still holds his old crop, whether
it is not advisable to dispose of it
soon. Let such keep watch few
days longer both of the prospect for
the coming harvest and the tenden-
cy of the market. If he continues
to hear good reports, and discovers
a downward tendency of prices, he
may safely conclude it wise to sell
what he may have on hand.
