burning OF the Ogdensburg &
Lake Champlain Railroad De-
pot.

Our telegraphic dispatches. Wednes-
day morning, briefly announced the
burning of the passenger depot of the
Ogdcnsburg & Lake Champlain Railroad
Company, at Ogdensburg. with all its
contents. shortly after the departure of
the five o'clock train Tuesday morning.
We gather the following particulars
from the Ogdensburg Journal: The
fire took in the room occupied by the
custom house, at the extreme northerly
end of the building. The depot was
constructed of wood. 1t was about 300
feet long, with an L or T addition, about
$50 feet long, on the easterly side.
The wind blew fresh from the north
east, and swept the flames so rapidly
through the building as to make it al
most utterly impossible to save anything
AT the time the fire took, there were one
sleeping car, one baggage car, one pas
senger car and several freight cars in
the building. The sleeping car was the
only thing saved. The occupants of the
eating house had hardly time to make
their escape.
Jas. S. Bean, Jas. NJ Church and Jas.
Wade had offices in the building. and
lost everything. The building was
erected in 1850, and has been kept in
sured most of the time for S15, 900, it
probably cost $4,000.

corn to my hogs through the month {?
On the first of November he again asks
the question. The question reCurs in
December
Now the knowledge he wants is this /:
Given the mean temperature of October
in Ohio at the place where he lives,
what number of pounds of corn will
make hundred pounds of pork? Given
the mean temperatures of November
and December, what number of pounds
of corn will make an hundred pounds
of pork or to put the question in more
abstract form, what is the relation Of
temperature to the consumption of corn
for the production of pork?
While it is known that temperature
does exercise an infuence-while it is
known that an hundred pounds Of corn
will produce more pork in the month Of
October than in December-yet it is
not known in practice or reference to
Ohio or any other particular locality in
this country, exactly or nearly apprOXi-
mately what the difference is, and of
consequence one will feed at a loss while
another feeds at gain, and neither is
much wiser by his experience, nor are
their neighbors.
Again, a farmer has corn and hogs,
and is 50 situated that, by reason Of the
charges of transportation, pork is his
only eXportable product He asks,
however, will it pay for me to build pig
pens to feed my hogs in or in other
words he asks what is the influence of
exposure to the weather in the cOnsump-
tiOn of food or in more abstract form
what is the difference in the abstraction
of animal heat between a still body Of
air and u body of air moving with a
given 'elocity. Or still in other words
how much more corn must hog weigh
inc 100 pounds eat to maintain his con,
dtion in still atmosphere or in a wind
Of say 20 miles an hour, at a tempera-
tme, say, of 80 degrees.
Again a hog grower in Massachusetts
says: VIII 1t pay me to have my corn
ground, and cooked. Grinding and
cooking are determinable costs, but will
the increased production OF pork pay !;
In other words he asks, how many less
pounds OF ground and cooked than OF
uncoohed ana ungrouhd corn VIII II take
70 MAKE an hunareo POUNDS OF pork :;
Or III more abstract terms no" much OF
unground corn passes undlgested IN tat
tening hogs how much OF ground corn;
how much OF uncookedj how much
Of cooked or in still more abstract
form, what is the influence Of boiling
and communion on the facility OF solu-
ton in the gastric and intestinal juices.
These are few of the questions
which the pork producer asks. They
are the SIMPLEST and most pressing.

adjoining, for ten miles north, his face
was known, and his presence was a
source of comfort and pleasure to more
people than that of any other living man,
for he went literally, from "house to

always and everywhere, the glad tidings
of salvation, and the cheering words of
one who knew the worth Of the religion

with the joy which his Savior's loving
presence afforded, through all the hours
of suffering that preceded his entrance
into life. " Death" comes not to such.

ALL HALLOw EVE.


Pcculiarfties and Associations Of the A N
cient Festival Of the Druids.
To-day Is Haliow Eve, day that Is particularly
observed by young people, as on 1t various arts OF
divination are employed to learn who are to be
future husbands and wives. 1t Is believed In many
parts OF the British Isles that ghosts, fairies and
spirits walk abroad and that while the purpose OF
some lis good, that Of Others is evil In the evening
it Is the custom for assembages to take place at
family firesides, where fortuneteng, recital Of
stories and dances serve to pass away the evening"
One of the principal amuscments is suspending
from the ceiling cross sticks at each alternate end
OF which is an apple or lighted candle, which is
kept rapidly revolving around, inviting candidates
TO compete for the grateful prize. The result s
that many only succeed in scorching their hair but
THE PLEASURE OF BEING LAUGHED AT
Is considered sufficient recompense. Another
amusement is placing coin In bucket OF water,
eads and nd MAKING cue to 9 sze the Shining
silver in their teeth. Nuts are used In profusion.
There is a custom OF placing three Of the fruit on
hearts. II the nut cracks or Jumps the lover will
prove unfaithful, and II It begins TO blaze or burn
II the nuts named after the girl or young man burn
together they will be married Another custom
= tse q pScs sd ys
foul water and one is empty. The parties, blind
folded, advance respectively and dip their fingers
virgin, II in the foul not to virgin, but to some
one else, and If In the empty the party will remain
single or die without being wedded. There are
many other CUSTOMS all having reference to the
matter OF future husbands and wives, and to seek
ing projection from the influence Of evil spirits.
THE OBSERVANCE OF ALL HALLOw EVE,
like many others that prevail In Europe, has been
transplanted to the United states, and there is no
doubt that In many households In every part OF the
country there VIII be the usual merry-makings In
Ireland and Scotland, though many ancient Gus
toms have fallen into disuse All Haow is still
reckoned among the most joyful anniversaries.
People OF these nationaties In America Will to-
night revive the merry scenes OF their younger
days, and their descendants will join heartily In
the pastimcs OF the occasion. Burns has depicted
these in his poem, "All Hall0w E'en.u He says:-'It
Is thought to be night when all the supernatural
beings who people space and earth aud air are In
search OF mischief and 1t Is, also, the grand anni
versary OF the more benignant fairies, whose oc-
cupation is TO bafle the evil genius In his wicked
pursuts.u The origin OF the custom Is not known,
but is thought TO extend back 70 the time Of the
