FIRE AT About six
o'clock Tuesday morning a fire was dis
covered in the Secretary's room in the
new building recently erected by the Yer.
mont Mutual Fire Insurance Company !;
and before it could be extinguished the
room was so badly damaged by fire, smoke
and water, as to require its entire internal
reconstruction. The origin of the fire is
matter of conjecture; some attributing
it to the carelessness of some smoker, and
others to the defective manner in which
the registers were constructed, the latter
OF which is the most probable. The dam
age to the building is no small item but
the lose of valuable papers, which had
been left on and about the Secretary's
desk, is much more serious, as they can
not 50 easily be replaced. The amount OF
tho lose i- not yet fully ascertained.
DIED OF HIS WoUND.-.MitchelI Shar-
row, the Highgate man who was wounded
on the 10Th by butchers knife which he
was carrying, died ON the 22d, at 10 a. m.
The operation of taking up the artery
after The injury was inflicted, was per-
formed by DR.. o. S. Searle, assisted by
Drs. Leach aud Baxter, and was pro-
uounoed one of the most difficult and sue

PERKTNsvILLE.-C Christmas Eve was
Observed at the Methodist Church Two
large evergreen trees were we'll loaded
with presents, besides some things so bull
ky and heavy as to be unsuitable fruit for
trees. Various exercises took place under
the direction of Rev. Mr.. Waters and the
gifts were distributed by Mr., Daniel A.
Wheeler.
On Christmas day an appropriate
sermon was preached by Rev. Mr.. Cud-
worth, Baptist, relating to the. birth of
Christ.
The thermometer for few days past
has been near to zero. Christmas morn
ing it was at zero. Monday morning is
more mild, and if Christmas days are to
rule the twelve months of the year, we
hope for a still greater modification of
the weather. The ground is frozen hard
with less water than usual, aud we are
expecting thaw and much rain before
long.
-Mauy persons are put to inconveni-
ence for want of water. Wells which
have seldom failed are now without

THE BRAIN.

One of the readiest roads to the head
is through the lungs. You may reach
the brain in minute with chlorofoFm,
for example. The power of this drug
is marvellous. When under its infiu-
enee man may have his limb cut of
without any sensation whatever: and
even when he RECEIVERS from the aFtif-
cial trance, he may still have neither
pain nor uneasiness. Why? Have you
ever seen a person after fit of epilep-
sy? After fit of that kind people
have no remembrance of anything done
to them during the fit. During the ep-
ileptic paroxysm the brain is all but
completely torpid. The same thing
happens after the anesthetic sleep OF
chloroform. In neither case can a man
remember what he never felt. But
mark what may happen after amputa-
ton performed on patient under chic
reform The same man who felt no
pain in the stump either during or after
the operation, may continue for many
successive months to be attacked with
the identical local symptoms for which
his limb was removed, at the hour OF
the day or night when he was wont to
suffer martyrdom before its removal.
And more than this, if seized by his old
enemy during sleep, he may wake, ex-
claiming, ''Oh, my leg, my leg; it pains
the same as when it was on" More Gu
rious still, he may tell you he can, so
far as his own feelings are concerned,
actually move the foot of the amputated
limb. What do these facts prove
They prove: LIST, That the brain is the
source of all motion and all sensation,
morbid or sane they prove inversely,
I'd, That the brain is the source of rest
and remission, sleep included; they
further prove, Sd, That the brain is the
source of all paroxysmal recurrence,
whether the more prominent symptoms

MI DARLNG,s SHOES.

God bless the little feet that can neVergo astray,
For the little shoes are empty, in my closet laid
1 sometimes take one in my hand, forgetting
till see
1t is a little half-worn shoe, not half large
enough for me;
And all at once feel sense OF bitter loss and
pain.
AS sharp as when, two years ago, it cut my
heart In twain.
o, little feet, that weary not, L wait for them
no more.
For am drifting on the tide, and they have
reached the shore;
And while the binding tear-drops wet these
little shoes so old,
1 try to think my darling's feet are treadIng
streets OF gold;
And then lay them down again, but always
turn to say,
God bless the little feet<that now so surely
cannot go astray.
And while thus am standing, almost seem
to see
The little form beside me, just as it used TO be;
The little face upiifted with its soft and tender
eyes
All met might have known that look was
born of Paradise.
1 reach my arms out fondly, but they elaspthc
empty air,
For there's nothing of my darling but the
shoes he used to wear.
Oh, the bitterness of parting cannot be done
away
Until 1 meet my darling where his feet can
never stray;
When no more am drifted on the surging tide,
Be patient, heart, while waiting to see the
shining way,
For the little feet in the golden street can
never go astray.

n high standard than to reach low one.
He whose aims are groveling, or even
of medium hight, may have little diff
Guilty in attaining them; but if he fol-
lows on to make higher acquisitions, his
plans will often be thwartea and his at
tempts defeated. If, Notwithstanding
this, he continues to go forward, work
ing to the full extent of his powers,
though the point he would reach is far
in the distance, his life is nobler than
one who has lower aspirations, than his
who can grasp all without climbing, or
than his who, in order to minister to
his physical wants, buries his intellect
or his soul.
Since mans success in life can only be
attained by the cultivation of his physi-
cal, mental and moral powers to their
greatest extent, let him grid on his ar
NOR and go forth to his life-battle strong
to overcome the contending elements,
and having once set his face toward the
goal, he must not cast longing eyes
backward, or turn to the right or the
the left, but his course should be on
ward and upward if he would hear the
welcome voice bidding him come up
higher.

PAPERISG RooMs.-Many lives have
been lost from the Iaziness or ignorance
of paper-hangers, who have laid on one
paper above another, instead of tearing
off the old one before hanging the new.
There was a very nice house near one
of our provincial towns which would
never keep its tenants, and at last stood
empty and became worthless, because
detestabIe fever seized upon every fam
lily that lived in it. A ready witted OBJ
server promised the owner to find out
the cause. He traced the mischief to
one room, and presently conjectured
what was the matter there. He let a
slip of glass into the wall, and found il
the next day dimmed with fetid cone:
dense6 vapor. He tore down strip Of
paper, and found abundant caHse for
any amount Of fever. For generslions
the walls had been papered afreshs with
