Mr. Beechers Good-Friday evening talk. The Ply

gave to his people his idea OF the Interpretation to
be given to the su1erngs OF the SAVIOUR. suppose
said he, that the thoughts Of all deyout persons
are being borne to the great event that the uni
versal Church celebrates to-day. The method OF
realizing the passion OF the Saviour will be different
IN different persons. Some Will merely follow the
footsteps OF history and review the physical events
OF Christ's life. For myself neither love nor think
1t profitable TO oweil on the
MORBID ANATOMY or cHRIsr's suFFERINGs.
do not think II profitable to listen to the blows or
the hammer that drove the nails or TO look at the
blood tnat flowed from beneath tn crown OF th0rns.
Yet there is great profit the thought OF the Saviour
bowed In suffering, when we get the right concep-
ton OF what the suffering meant. II Jesus was a
simple man, moral genus. seeking to reform Ills
people, prosecuted and put TO death by them. His
heroism WAS like that which we in every age.

dies Seriously Injured.
CINCINNATI, April 7, 1871.
The Western Female College, at oxford, took nro
this morning in the bakery about ten O'Clock. and
with the exception OF the walls, which yet stand,
was completely destroyed. All the young
ladies are accounted for. Three Students,
who escaped from the second and third
story windows, were seriously injured.
Some had presence or mind to tie sheets together
and let themselves down from the windows, others
jumped from the second story. Some of the pro-
perty in the lower part or the building was saved.
Many or the young ladies lost all their personal ef
fects in their rooms There is about $50, 900 insu-
rance on the building though not covering the loss.
The destruction OF the el1ce Is apuoc calamity, aS
1t was one OF the most prominent female educa-
t0nal institutions In the West.
There were It's persons IN the building at the time
oil the catastrophe. During the early morning hours
the village presented sorr0wful spectacle some OF
the young girls havns lost nearly everything IN the
about with scanty supply OF apparel. with no
relations to sympathiza with them, and almost
Wholly dependent on comparative strangers Tor
board and lodging. The hberaiity OF the place was
however, equal to the occasion.

HORSE NOTES.
Length Of Trottin9 Cracks.

Length Of Trotting tracks.
The trotting meetings throughout the country be.
gin next month, and 1t will be matter of much
length OF each track which their troters will be
engaged. For the information of horse owners and
the public generally who take interest the
ting horse and who keep records of time made
over the various tracks In the country, we
would suggest to the National Association
that competent civil engineer be appointed
TO visit all the tracks that are governed by
the rules or the Association and take their measure
three feet from the pole. All associations not hav.
ing tracks that are a 1ul mile or a fun half mile
should either be ruled out OF the National Assocla
tion or be compelled to make their tracks the right
lengths. Many horses have made fictitious repuia-
tOns by trottlng tracks that not full mile.
Some OF the associations IN the country engage their
own engineers and get certificates to suit them
selves; but 1t should be the duty Of tile National
ASSOCIATION to attend to this important matter and
have the lengths Of all the tracks published for the
enlightenment OF ali parties interested. Were all
trottl,g tracks or the length the associations
mage, as all men owning clippers woulu enter
them where the greatest chance would be to beat
2l7H. We call the attention or Mr. AInasa Sprague,
the President OF the National TrOtng Association,
TO the above suggestions, with he hope mat he may
at once see the necessity OF getting national engi-
neers to do national work, and not receive as au-
thcntic the measurements made by PROJECTORS or
agents OF the several tracks. In this way only can
We obtain the correct record OF horses perform
ance and protect the public.

Of the condition of the Park cir's,
Eveline and Helen, so fearfully. manglcd
by the negro murderers, a gentleman WHO
visited them at their residence in Clark
county, Friday, Says: the girls are
able to converse inte!ligibly They are
still at the house where their father
mother and younger brother were killed,
and as carefully cared for as kind fIiends
and near relatives can. They each occu-
by a long bed in opposite corners Of the
room, ard can see and converse with each
other if they wish,
Neither seems to realize that they are in
much danger When we reached the
house, Helen the youngest, aged four
teen years, was sitting up in bed and eat
ing, though her injuries are by far tie
worst and all physicians who have OK
amiued her mead declare her recovery i'm
possible, and look for her death at any
moment. Her skull received several
blows with both pole and blade, crushing
1t like an egg shell.
\ portion Of the skull over the left ey,
is gone, and the brain protrudes from tn,
opening as large as common sized goose
egg. They complained very little to-da,
of pain in their heads Eveline, the old
est, who is nearly nineteen, is entirely IA
tional and talks freely. We saw tn
bandages removed from her head by tn
physician, revealing the skull in as bad
condition as that of her sister.
There is scarcely possibility that eth
er can recover, though Eveline's chance
are by far the best, as skillful exanina
ton has revealed the fact that the thi

TIE ORIGIN OF THE CHICAGO FIRE
The TriEune says that the investigation
nov in progress by the Commissioners,
has brought out the following facts:
That Mrs. O'Leary went to bed at half
mast 8 o'clock on the night of the fire, on
account of her '.sore tut" that. Pat Nc
Laughlin, the fiddler, resides in the front
part of the O'Leary mansion; that Mrs.
Sullivan, who lives opposite the OLearys,
did not save as much from the fire as she
could twist around her finger; that Mrs.
O'Leary heard Mrs. White say that Nc
Laughlin had a party, and the party
wanted oysters, and the oysters wanted
milk TO be "shtewcd" in, and that they
went out and MIXED her 90 Leary's) COW
and that, finally, considerable know moth
ipoism can be developed among tie Irish
since none of the people in that vicinity
have any idea of how long it was, or how
far the fire had got, before the engines ar
rived. The McLaughlins acknowledge
that they were having social entertain
ment in honor of a green horn" relative
who had just arrived from Ireland, CTht
particulars of this entertainment were los
by the destruction of the Times newspa
PERI But they deny having INDUCED il
milk punch or oyster ''stews," or having
MIXED the O'Leary COWS after Mrs O.
Learv had gone to bed. Allthe witncsse
seem agreed that there was pile of sha
wings in the barn, and that the fire wa
/ first observed on the side Of the barr
