Boy KILLED. learn that on
Saturday last a boy about ten years of age
was killed near Hartland, on the Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul Railway. 1t seems that in en-
deavoring to climb to the top of a car while
the tram was in motion he lost his footing
and fell under the cars. number of which
passed over him. When taken up his body
was terribly mangled, and he survived his
injuries but short time.
This should serve as a warning to boys
who are constantly engaged IN this danger
GUS practice of jumping on trains when in
motion. In nearly every place where there
is railroad station, myriads of young boys
are to be seen awaiting any opportunity tha t
may present itself, from early morning un
til late at night, to hang on to the cars and
ride until the speed becomes 50 great that
they cannot get from the train with any de-
gree OF safety, CIR if nothing better offers,
they will ride on the freight cars which are
being switched from one track to another,
involving the greatest danger to both life
and limb. Our city is no exception to
scenes of this kind and there seem to be
numerous boys who actually live bout our
depots and switching places, appearing to
have no higher ambition than to obtain the
greatest amount Of railroad-rides under
the most risky and dangerous circums tances,
within the course of a season. We often
think they unjust be a most insuferable
nuisance to the regular railroad employees,
as well as a constar. source of al arm and
anxiety to their parents aud friends. An
abatement of these habits and customs
among our rising youth is loudly called for,
and let their parents and guardians say
how it can be done most etiectually.

"THE THRONES OF EUROPE" y
This is the subject Of the lecture to be de.
livered by the celebrated lecturer, Mr.. JUS
| tin Mccarthy, at Turner Hall, on Saturday
evening next the 18th of December. Mr..
McCarthy's lecture will be the second on the
course of the atertown Literary Associa-
| ton, and the Society is most fortunate in
securing the services of this noted schoIae
and speaker. Justin MEGA thy has an ex-
tensive reputation both in this ountry and
Europe as brilliant orator and writer. He
was for several years editor Of the London
Star, the leading Liberal organ of England,
! and is at the present time one Of the editors
of the GALAXY magazine. AS indicative of
what may be expected from this eloquent lee
turer we publish the following notice of his
lecture from the New York Independent:
"Mr. Justin McCarthy's lecture on the
Franco-PruSsian War, delivered last week
in Association Hall, attracted large and
brilliant audience and gave general sails
faction. He brought to the discussion a
mind thoroughly acquainted with the ibis
tory and peculiar characteristics of each Of
the two nations, as we'll AS with all the
rivalries ambition and animosties that led
10 the war, and was therefore able to in
struct as well as interest his hearers Mr.
Met. has many engagements to lee ure in
different parts of this country. Few for
eigners have ever succeeded so rapidly as
he has in winning the admiration and con-
fdence of the best people in America"
This lecture will be one of the finest eff
forts of the course and the subject contain
ing as it does a synopsis of the Franco
prussiau War will be both interesting and
attractive to the greater portion Of our cit
liens We trust large audience will be
present to greet Mr. Mccarthy on his 6rst
appearance in this city.

A FAN.

The proposition to hold an internatioE-
al exhibition of fans in London next
year has quite naturally aroused good
deal of interest touching that '1ittle mod
ish machine" which has been aptly styled
the prettiest weapon in woman's armory.
With the view of calling out something
really exquisite, Cher majesty, the Queen
of England" who, woman like, takes o
lively interest in the project, "has gra-
ciously offered prize of forty pounds"
for the best fan by female artist under
twenty-five years of age. 1t is also STA
ted that the "Society of Arts" has tend
credits gold medal, of the value of twen-
ty-one guineas, as the second prize, and
the Baroness de Rothschild and Lady
Cornclia Guest evil give ten pounds
each for the two next best fans" These,
however, are only few of the prizes
which will be given to successful compel
itors. The interest which has already
become so great that, as preliminary to
the special exhibition of 1871, the
Empress Eugene has sent to the South
Kensington Museum no fewer than thirty
four fans, ''the pick of her fine collec-
tion," to which have been added one hun
dred and twenty exquisite fans, from the
first artists in France. The prime object
of the movement appears to be to estab-
lsh ga branch of fine art, applied TO in
dustry, which is especially suitable to the
employment of female artists" 1t is in
such cases as this that luxury fosters the
